Punisher wouldn't steal a mug, that would make him a criminal and he would have to punish himself.

Pregnant Woman got pepper sprayed and kicked in the stomach? That ugly bitch was asking for it.
"Grêle Hydra" has to be a joke. It's literally using the word "Hail" as the meteorological phenomenon for frozen rain instead of... Well its other homonym. ("Vive Hydra!" Is what they meant to say).

That's neither wordplay or a pun, and a reader would have to be bilingual to catch the... Whatever-that-was. I'm rereading the panels, and "Barte" is probably meant to be "batre" instead, and even then the sentence wouldn't be correct. Incompetency seems to be more likely than any attempts at humor.

Someone put some words in google translate and then didn't even copy them into the comic correctly.

Use a Quebecer and see if the ability to piss off actual French extends to writing.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

It would be fine if its was just Ben's stuff all hosed up, because nothing about him has ever suggested he'd pick up a new language on the fly and I can imagine him trying to use one of those little electronic phrasebooks and complaining that his fingers are too much so he keeps getting it wrong.

ALLEZ-OUP!
There's an issue of Bendis's Daredevil where he very obviously used Google Translate for some German and had no idea what he was saying. It was total nonsense that I saw some native German speakers really confused by.

I barely remember any of it, but the one that sticks out is a guy shouting "Schieben Sie ihn!" which is basically a polite way of asking a stranger or like your boss or something to push someone. What he likely meant was "Erschieß ihn," or "shoot him," but he couldn't tell the different between ß and B, so he wrote schieben rather than schießen.
