Frank: I know when I’m out of my league. I restrict my crusade to humans. Maybe some of your super pals would be interested.
Matt: Just being a good citizen?
Frank: Just bringing enough force to the problem.
Marvel Knights #1
Chuck Dixon + Ed Barreto
Despite his origin being in Marvel Universe proper, there is sometimes the sentiment that Frank Castle as a character does not make sense alongside superpowered characters. Or, there’s the thought that with the Punisher’s credo, any and every villain in the 616 world still being alive and breathing means he’s doing his job wrong. However, the fact that Frank does not actively go after say, Doctor Doom (mind you, that match-up has actually happened before and it was as ridiculous as it sounds), does not mean the character is inconsistent; it simply means Frank is smart. He knows his limits. He knows enough to pick his battles, and to leave superpowered villains to superpowered heroes.
There are exceptions to this of course; Dark Reign, being chased by the Avengers in Rucka’s War Zone, and other events have pulled Frank forward against non-human foes, where he is forced to adapt as a regular human in a superhuman world. When done properly, those stories are very interesting to read. None of this means that Frank sticks out in 616 like a sore thumb; he simply has his own corner – much like Daredevil himself – and sticks to it.
