Okay, I know why : in his own special way, Dredd can be funny. Punisher is always serious.
They are too equal, so I vote for the "funny" one.

Like I said, they're very equal, so if I have to pick one, it's better to pick the cooler one.
They both don't quit, are great with weapons, strong as a human can be, posses a killer instinct and are tough as hell. But Dredd has that little "dry humor" thing. Punisher hasn't.
I have to pick somebody, don't I .

How a guy who proclaim himself THE LAW can't win this one.
Hehe, I think Dredd is The punisher in the future so Dreed will got him. Best weapon, technology etc...
Punisher wears a kevlar costume and has high level weapons but they're still weapons of his time.Dredd's gun can fire many kinds of projectiles, for every situation.From laser to grenades.Also he's trained in hand to hand combat too.Probably his low level physical protection would be his weakness, cause the kevlar vest he wears doesn't protect him on the chest, the legs etc.
Dredd is bad ass, but the only real advantage I think he has on the Punisher is fire power/technology. On that point if Castle knows what he is going up against he will no doubt try and find some heavy firepower. At times he has used some sci-fi grade weapons. Like I said besides firepower, what does Dredd have on Castle?

Well it's not as cut and dry as it use to be. But Dredd is the Captain America of his Universe. He's the best fighter, the baddest bad ass, the top dog on Human characters. Punisher has had some hype to him lately and it's all pretty cool, he does deserve most of the credit, but he's still out classed. Technology is the obvious advantage but he also has fighting ability. I don't know how to explain it but Dredd does some crazy things, It's like he's invincible, he's not afraid to go up against anything and somehow always comes out victorious (much like Batman) where as Punisher would likely run away.
The Punisher can and has gone hand to hand with Captain America, Wolverine, Daredevil, and even Batman. Infact before the building fell down around them he was doing fine against Batman. Has taken out Wolverine and DareDevil. Captain America considers him in the same "weight class". Even if Dredd has the Tech and a slight edge in terms of skill. I admit I have not read a lot of Dredd, but the stuff I did read it did seem like he had the same stick-to-itness, durability, ingenuity, intensity. agressiveness, spirit, or resourcfullnes that Castle has. Point is when the cards are down and retreat is not an option, Frank will find a way. Even if he does retreat it is more often then not to gain the advantage and plan the next encounter. Castle also seems to have better tactical skills (is more likely to plan an attack and use his brain in a fight). And maybe ranged combat skills as he is deadly accurate. Where given the nature of Dredd's gun accuracy is not so importent. From what I have seen Punisher is also better in terms of stealth/covert attacks. So he may be able to get the drop on Dredd. Dredd is used to back as well, other Street Judges and the like where as Castle nearly never has help. Again in truth though I haven't read a whole lot of Dredd and non or the recent stuff.

Well then I won't critisize you for you assumptions, but they are somewhat flawed. Dredd however is an incredible tactician. Your right about him not showing it all the time but sometimes he goes all out and is down right ingenius. Esecially when in life threatening situation, he has just as much if not more tenacity then Frank. Frank is praised and feared by many but remember, most of his fights with Wolverine, he veiws surviving as a victory, And Frank himself does not feel he is in the same league. He admits being outclassed by all three characters you mentioned at one point or another. He even goes as far to say that Elektra could kill him at any time she wanted. This would in no way be the case for Dredd. He may have equals but no superiors. As for the stealth thing, Dredd has employed those tactics before, but remember he feels deeply he is representing the law and will avoid sneaking around if possible. And backup, come on, Most of the other judges die, and are just there to show how much better Dredd is than them.
This is part of what I am talking about. Dredd may have the tactical and covert ability Frank has, but he is far less willing to employ them. It's quit possible given that, that by the time he figured out it was do or die, that Punisher will have already pulled out all stops. Dredd is a lot more rule bound, honor bound, duty bound, style bound etc. Then the Punisher who while he has his code of ethics it is alot more versatile. In that short of killing innocents(which Dredd wont do either), the Punisher will do everything and try anything to take out his target. He is constricted by no law book or court system. And even if Dredd chucks these out the window they are still obviously ingrained in his brain and suth will effect his behavior and tactics. As to Frank not believeing he is equal to the Cap, Logan, DD, or Elektra. It is Castle being humble/carefull. If you remember the comic with Elektra he had chance to kill her if he had wanted to, but he was to buissy checking her out. It was a case were he was more intrested in takeing her out to eat then takeing her out. Point is if he can go HtH with DD he can go HtH with Elektra. The judges may die in droves, but they do take a lot of the fire that could have been directed at Dredd. In the end I think the are physicaly similiar in terms of skill and if he has time to pack Frank can bring some pretty heavy firepowwer to the show, but at the end of the day Punisher seems to be more resourcfull and capable of thinking outside the box.

Umm you do realize this is the Dredd that reads your sentence aloud after he's shot you dead right? IF your saying Frank has more engenuity than Dredd this simply isn't true. And as far as being careful, they both are when it comes to "innocents." Dredd might be even less descriminant to who is innocent than Frank. Frank didn't not take out Elektra because he was checking her out, he didn't try because he knew he could of been killed long ago and wanted to know why he wasn't. Outside the box? Come on now, Dredd gets the job done no matter what it takes, no matter what tools he has at his disposal.

Dredd really is a completley underated and underestimated character. I'm not sure I've ever read a Dredd book that wasn't good. Too bad people seem to ignore him, especially since they made that atrocity of a movie.
