Mugen: Punisher


I don't fully understand why Punisher is so popular. I prefer "old school" hero morals where no matter what happens, the hero chooses not to kill. To quote Spider-man from one of his comic books: "Nobody dies, it is a rule." I realize that many fans prefer darker and grittier characters, but I think Frank Castle, the Punisher, is insane....driven by his grief and desire for revenge. He's a monster, but considering all the evil in the world, he will never run out of opponents.

This character is complete I think! It's great. I really like it and I'm not a big Punisher fan, but the opportunity to fight with a really well-made character can't be ignored. One thing that surprised me about the gameplay was his symbiote mode. A symbiote like Venom's engulfs Frank Castle and makes him stronger. Then, when you disengage the symbiote, it attacks your opponent. It's an interesting idea and depicted well. I would have never thought of it. The other thing about this character is that it's only playable as part of Eternity of Heroes from Infinity Mugen Team. When this Punisher is available for individual download, I'd like to see how it does against the Unlimited's Dead Pool.

  1. Hi Marcus,

    I believe to understand why Punisher,
    character of the Marvel world, is
    so popular, he represents the being
    what, unconsciously, many would
    like to be face of injustice of
    the modern world where some
    criminals escape with impunity to
    The Justice thanks to their money
    or thanks to the arrangements
    that we don't understand.
    We all have in us this feeling which
    is the Talion Law but the Society
    educated us The Moral against that.
    And Punisher; devoid of The Moral,
    is the Mr Hyde of our conscience
    confronted to the problematic which
    is how behave face to somebody
    who harmed a close, being a Punisher
    or trusting at The Justice which often
    is not up to our expectations.
    There is too that nobody likes criminals,
    and always in the popular inconscience,
    people would like that don't exist, as a result
    people love Punisher because he kill criminals
    and he is not a simple psycopath killer.
    I could say things on the sublect
    but it's not the blog for that.
    Return to the character, Punisher is
    the only one ambivalent Marvel character
    because we can consider as a super-hero
    for his struggle against the criminal but
    too as a super villain for his Talion law.
    But I agree with you on the fact that
    Punisher is (becoming) unsane.
    Anyway, any obsessive quest leads
    to madness...........................

    You said :
    "The other thing about this character is

    Thanks, and strongly that it is available
    individually

    Santé

  2. Thanks for the insight!!! Very well written. I'd tend to agree with you assessment mostly. I'd welcome any insights you or anyone might like to share. It is the fact that characters like the Punisher causes us to question our own moralities and sensibilities that truly make them worthwhile...that and we like to see stuff get blowed up real good! It's truly interesting also hearing your viewpoint coming from France and all. Thanks again!
