Name: Frank Castle/The Punisher

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral 

Affiliation: The Punishers

History:

Frank Castle was born in raised in Brooklyn. Right out of high school he married his sweetheart Marie and signed up for the Marine Corps. He and Maria had two children Lisa and Frank Jr. 

Castle was an exemplary Marine and soon joined Marine Special Operations Regiment, a special forces unit. Frank saw major combat in Afghanistan. On a routine mission in the Khyber Pass, Frank's entire squad were wiped out by a Taliban ambush. Frank, the sole survivor, proceeded to kill every Taliban soldier. Frank was wounded in the fight and sent home, awarded the Navy Cross for his actions and honorably discharged from the Corps.

A month after he was home, Frank and his family had a picnic in Central Park. Unfortunately, they were there at the same time as a botched mob hit. Frank and his family were caught in the crossfire. Frank was wounded, his family was killed. The two assassins who were responsible for their deaths were acquitted by a corrupt judge and jury. The assistant district attorney who tried to case was Adrian Chase, a survivor himself of criminal violence. As devastating as it was for Chase to lose the trial, for Frank it was so much worse.

That was when Frank Castle ceased to exist. Taking what little money he had, Castle put it all into weapons, gear, and a safehouse and proceeded to wage a one-man war against the Scargetti Crime Family, the employers of the two assassins responsible for his family's death. While effective at first, Castle soon realized soon that he could not do it alone. If this was a war, then he would need an army. 

Rachel-Cole Alves, a fellow Marine who lost her new husband thanks to violence, was the first recruit. Second was Yorkie Mitchell, a British ex-pat Castle served with in Afghanistan. Together, the three tore through the Scargetti Crime Family like tissue paper. The NYPD began to look into the vigilante murders. The NYDA's office assigned Adrian Chase to the case. Castle was the prime suspect and Chase tried to reach out to him to talk some sense into him. Instead, Chase was recruited and the vigilante group gained a fourth member. Together, the four destroyed the last remnants of the Scargetti Family and stole five million dollars of their laundered money for operational cost. Now, the band of four are average New Yorkers by day and something else altogether at night. They are not agents for justice or truth. Frank Castle and his group deals in one absolute principle: the wicked should be punished. And they are the Punishers.

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?: Castle doesn't roll solo anymore. He has a dope squad with him. #squadgoals. I want to set up each one with a unique character and voice. They'll work together and solo to deal with the corruption that's run rampant in NYC and America as a whole #lifegoals. If you're wicked and have profited off the suffering of others, you will be punished #murdergoals.
