I'll take that as a compliment lol.
But can Punisher survive being smashed very hard on the head with a sledgehammer? I don't know. But marv did.
I don't know either. Maybe, maybe not.
And I DO read Punisher. I know he's faster. But Kevin was faster, and Marv wasn't bothered by that. Punisher is a better fighter. So was Kevin.
I disagree. Kevin was a good fighter, but nothing out of the extraordinary. He used pressure points and such, but he wasn't durable : a few good hits and he was down. The same can't be said from Punisher.
Punisher is more experienced. Not necessarily.
Yes, he's been around for more than 30 years in the Marvel Universe and has hundreds of appearances. Marv only a few (his own graphic novel and a few cameos in other comics - read Silent Night, great short story starring Marv)
Punisher IS better with weapons. True. But Marv seems to be awfully good at bullet dodging, not to mention bullet taking.
Correction : good at dodging bullets fired by uninspired, lame policemen who couldn't hit a cow when they were sitting on one. I'd like to see Marv dodge some of Punishers well aimed shots.
And Punisher is NEVER as tough as Marv. Frank is very damn tough. But I refuse to agree he is tougher than Marv.
Let's assume Marv is actually more durable (I am far from convinced, but okay), you still forget one thing: Kevlar. Punisher wears it all the time.
See you.
