As an old friend of mine once said "If he killed em the writers would have to invent new enemies continuously. With that excuse they can put them in the Asylum and reuse them for new stories whenever they want."
It does shortcut originality a fair bit. Why come up with a new guy with a new gimmick when they can just throw Condiment King out there.
Prob part of the reason Punisher isn't that popular. A good rogues gallery makes for a good hero. No rogues and hes just some guy.
It's funny that Punisher really isn't all that popular but in the US his skull emblem in a Blue Lives Matter livery is an extremely popular automotive window decal.
What's funny is that, if the Punisher were real, he'd 86 every one of those corrupt cops.
The Punisher's iconic story is about him executing his coworkers on the police force for killing his family. He's the most directly anti-cop comic book character. But all the vets-turned-cops just remember how cool the skull looked ironed on to their gear in the military I guess.
It actually goes way back to the 80s and 90s when Punisher comics took off. It wasn't as common as you see today, but the Punisher skull was on lunchboxes and tee shirts and tattoos and rifle cases. We didn't have social media back then, though, so the cops kept their shared psychotic fantasies about unrepentant murder well hidden.
The more efficient option is rarely the more entertaining option.
Sounds like something the Joker might say.
