The universe of characters that Marvel has is really wide and brutal. Each story has an event capable of capturing any fan and taking them into this wonderful world. Frank Castle ‘s is one of them. The terrible events that he had to go through led him to become The Punisher; an antihero who is popularized among his victims because of the famous skull on his clothing.

Seeing this representation of the white skull on a dark surface stands out. And immediately you get the click that you are about to see a brutal beating if you are a spectator or suffer it if you committed a crime.

Fran Castle’s modes in The Punisher are not accepted by the Marvel hero community. But who can blame him after what he had to live through?

Marvel frequently balances on that duality in many of its characters, positioning them on the fine line between criminality and heroism.

But in the case of El Punisher, its scope has been so great that its symbols are used in “many military, police and extremist groups, receiving very negative connotations in the face of racism that has splashed various security forces around the world,” he says. Hobby Consoles refers to Fran Castle’s skull.

The Punisher debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 in February 1974. It is the brainchild of Gerry Conway, Ross Andru, John Romita Sr. They, or Marvel, are not to blame that their story, taken from fiction, is executed by these groups that give it a negative connotation.

Modification on the skull of The Punisher
The mentioned portal highlights that over the years, some Marvel groups have made requests to change the logo of The Punisher, due to the situations exposed.

The mythical symbol of the punisher that is related to death and brutal fights was maintained until in the recent numbers of the comics, they made a modification.

It is not known if this change is related to those requests and relations of the symbol with military groups. The mod is based on Frank Castle’s affiliation with the group of assassin ninjas known as The Hand.

This change of symbol seems to be related merely to the narrative since what it communicates is even more violence. In fact, the same skull is kept and they add some hides and fangs to the teeth that it already had by its side.

A sign that The Punisher’s methods are going to be maintained for a long time.
