Marvel's Netflix Universe: Return of the Kingpin

Punisher is blessed by Death. Not a super power exactly, but can’t deny it’s not an advantage.

serious question…is this true?

Yes.

Born (comics)

One by one, Castle’s unit drops, and he finds himself surrounded and running out of ammunition. The voice in his head becomes louder and louder until it can be heard over the scream of the storm and roar of the gunshots. It offers Castle the strength and stamina needed to survive, to maintain an eternal state of vigilance, and to wage the permanent war - at a price. Castle finally gives in.

Frank Castle returns home, a decorated officer on a crutch, to his waiting wife, Maria and children. In the midst of the smiling return, the internal voice speaks again of the price of Castle’s choice. We find now exactly what Castle’s eternal war will cost him, as a picture details Castle’s family in a sighting reticle reminiscent of the Punisher’s skull icon. The voice goes on to say that it and Castle are in the same business though it has been at if for much longer and that Castle will keep it busy which implies that the voice could be the Devil or Death itself.

Fucking incredible comic, by the way.

It ain’t the Devil/Mephisto though, it’s Death (skull imagery throughout the comic and all that). Frank’s basically blessed by Death to keep killing dudes for Her. It’s how he can just sit there and let Captain America fuck him up while he reminds Cap how awesome he is.

It’s how he kills so fucking well. It’s how he survives against true super powers, without any sort of discernible powers. Only Thanos and Deadpool have that sort of attention.

Punisher I think is a pretty decent brawler but he kind of has the preptime Batman superpower in that he always has just the thing he needs when he needs it and he somehow always seems to have a psychic sense and only kill really bad guys. I think that’s really his superpower, but there is honestly no way you have a gun fight in a city and don’t have a stray bullet catch an innocent bystander from time to time. Especially since in his books goons are just spraying the alleyways with fully automatic weapons.

The Rachel Cole Alves (chick Punisher) story deals with killing non criminals during missions. His prep time is amazing. His lack of holding back is what sets him apart from a lot of other characters. As a brawler he is meh. But his skill with weapons is almost unsurpassed. Would love to see a Punisher story where he gets some Iron Man armour.

Although Uber Avenger Punisher was pretty fucking OP:

Hawkeye bow and quiver, Pym tech and helmet, Iron Man repulsor’s, Captain America’s shield, and guns. GGPO.

DD isn’t a Super Hero here. He has his heightened senses but that’s it. It doesn’t make him omnipotent in a fight. He got Stick’s training, but as a young kid and Stick bailed before he could finish.

Honestly, DD’s only actual “super power” in his show is his extreme determination. If you have a problem with that, stick to reading his comics.

His superpowers are completely intact. Not being a fully-fledged superhero doesn’t really change the fact that he can still hear everything in a three-block radius.

“I want my Super Heroes to be Super!”

“I don’t want Punisher fist fighting, just give him a shotgun!”

Aubrey is far too deadpan to play Kate Bishop. And too old.

But fucking hell I love the concept.

[Magegg]

Just give me Pizza Dog <3

[Wasted]

I don’t understand what you mean.

[Hawkingbird]

Kate’s character got fucked up that bad? She was a favorite of mine in the first run of Young Avengers.

[Wasted]

Last I saw, Kate was just a rich, perky version of Clint. Same smart-mouth attitude, but with dat privilege.

[d3v]

Kate was awesome in Fraction’s Hawkeye run. Aside from actually being a better shot than Clint, she spent most of her time actually cleaning up his messes.

Actually their personalities are quite different. Especially since his resurrection. Young Clint was actually willing to learn where as you got a spoiled rich broad who dont know shit about shit. Her character also served no purpose in the Young Avengers relaunch. Should have brought back Patriot instead.

Obvious TLDR of the day by RockBogart:

Get rid of the rich white girl and bring back the black kid.

Marvel doesn’t have Alias on their Unlimited or Comixology app.

I need Marvel to do a story arc where Black Panther marries a white girl. Preferably Big Bertha, since I hear black men like women with big booties and pawgs.

[SoVi3t]

TChalla married Wasp in Marvel Zombies. And he has dated white women in the past.

Black man makes white woman take care of him…I mean, that’s typical, but at least he had some missing limbs so it wasn’t TOO bad…either way:

that’s not 616

that’s not permanent

that’s not Big Bertha

Emma Frost would also make a good Wakandan Queen.

So… NBC has ordered an office workplace show grounded in the DC Universe. Think of it as DC’s version of Marvel’s Damage Control.

Funny thing is blogs have have been urging Marvel to do something with Damage Control. It’s an amazing avenue to bring these superhero universes to low-budget network television. A show about superpowerless folks dealing with the repercussions of constant fighting and chaos in their city. So much potential.

As much as I like Daredevil and Agents of SHIELD and hype about the upcoming Netflix shows, DC is really kicking Marvel’s butt in the TV space.
