Wanderer posted:Ennis is from northern Ireland, which is notorious for producing people with a twisted sense of humor, I mean, I guess we are. Bare in mind one of Ennis' first gigs was doing a stretch for 2000AD where he had Dredd visit Ireland, which he turned into a giant theme park called Murphyville with green Judges who shoot crims with potato guns.

So, again, I don't know much about the Punisher. Why DO they let him run around doing his thing? Like, is there an in-universe justification for allowing him to go on his killing sprees?

Not really to my knowledge. They either pg-13 him or a lot of the murder is done places where no one can prove it or the witnesses don't care.

There heroes are usually too busy with their own bullshit to actually stop him. I believe the context of that series was that they decided to finally bring him in.

That's Rucka's run, right? Half the heroes that go to bring him in, just give him a pass, if I remember correctly. Wolverine, specifically.

I think it was supposed to lead into a new Rucka-written ongoing but he had a falling out with editorial and bailed.

They broke into Egghead's secret lair (JJJ's relative's house) and discovered Pym there tied to a chair, then got gassed into being small and when Egghead got bored of shooting a full size gun at gnat sized superheroes he shrunk Pym and now we're here in what looks like grass but is actually badly coloured carpet.

I don't think Wolverine is actually in that one. I know Black Widow gives him a pass because she's like "whatever, I kill people", Thor gives him some speech about being a warrior but then lets him slide, and I forget how he gets out of facing all the other Avengers. Of course the real justification is he gets away because he's the star.

Dexie posted:Why DO they let him run around doing his thing? Like, is there an in-universe justification for allowing him to go on his killing sprees? I'm pretty sure Punisher has said at least once if they put him in prison he'll just kill everyone there until he figures a way out. The heroes can't sit and watch the prisons 24/7, and if they put him in a supervillain prison there would probably be an argument that it would be akin to murdering him (placing him with supervillains with powers). I suppose they could put him in some sort of one-man superprison and have him be watched around the clock, but unless that would be the final story of Frank Castle it would be pointless because he'd just get out some way or offscreen because someone wanted to use him in the future. It reminds me of when Joker was decided to be so dangerous that he was moved to a DC Ultramax prison for supervillains, the Slab, and what followed was an event called Last Laugh where he figured out a way to engineer a mass breakout. At the end he was stuck in an even fancier cell in the ultramax prison where, IIRC, the cell had no doors and was being watched 24/7 by Oracle. Then like...five months later, in a Harley Quinn comic, the writer wanted to use Joker in a story so Harley tossed off a line that Joker broke out of the Slab. That pretty much says it all, really.

You just put the Punisher in solitary. Oh wait I'm using both tactical realism and violating human rights.

Fanwank: There's an underground cloning facility somewhere cranking out Franks. Every time one gets gunned down or stuck in an inescapable prison another is released from the facility to continue the Punisher.

Marvel has a bunch of prisons that can hold guys like Dr. Octopus and Carnage, I'm not sure why Frank couldn't just be placed in one of those. Even if he broke out due to authorial fiat, there's enough security involved on every individual cell that it'd take him forever to even get to the Green Goblin or whoever. Frank was placed in a ridiculous underwater single-cell prison during Rucka's run, which is ridiculous overkill for a guy who's only powers are "never seems to get hit by the 80 million bullets fired at him by bad guys, and somehow has perfect intelligence regarding his targets every time".

Have Daredevil or She Hulk books ever determined what legally constitutes someone for Villain prison over Regular prison? Punisher would be an edge case if so, which would be an easy out for why they stick him places he can break out of with a hard stare.

I think all you need is solid evidence that a normal prison wouldn't hold them. Then again, loving Hammerhead and Kingpin were held just fine by normal prisons, so again, acting like Frank would definitely totally break out within a week and kill everyone because he's just that awesome is some Batgod bullshit.
