Even Belasco a demonic Sorcerer from another dimension rates Punisher’s intelligence. Pretty sure that guys been a global threat. Hell Belasco wanted to recruit him.
The High Evolutionary wanted Punisher dead but failed to kill him. HE sent his eliminators to kill him but they failed(There are a couple of scans in this thread with him taking out HE's Elimanators).
Punisher escapes from a trap meant to mind control its victims. Punisher has no prep but still escapes.
Punisher fakes his death. He’s able to do this because he knows how the KGB work and understands his opponent
Punisher fakes his death again. Yet again he’s able to predict what his enemies are going to do.
Punisher is helpless against a cybernetically enhanced Russian. He has no weapons and Spiderman has been Koed. See what he does to escape.
Punisher kidnaps Bruce Banner and actually planned to give him amnesia.
Punisher also finds a way to stop the Hulk
Both Wolverine and Punisher are tracking this guy but Punisher finds him first (ie the guy is running away from Punisher and runs into Wolverine). Not saying Punisher is a better tracker but its impressive that they are both in a jungle and Punisher managed to find the guy first at all.
VI. DAMAGE SOAK/TOUGHNESS
This is a pretty good damage soak showing from Punisher. He gets electrocuted more than a several times, gets shot in the head with a rubber bullet. Wakes up gets electrocuted again….well you see the rest.
Whats really hilarious about this showing is that both his shoulders were dislocated, so naturally what you decide to do is balance on one arm and kick some guy in the head.
This is one hell of a showing Punisher gets messed up by the Hand and after this..
Gets electrocuted a couple of times
Still manages to find the stamina ro run and gets pushed through the wall
Its also a good showing of speed. She is obviously a top hand assassin but Punisher is fast enough to run up some stairs before shes steps through the wall, she then decided to change her tactics…
Mental torture, she links Punishers mind to a guy whos throat she cuts and Punisher feels all of it.
Its not over yet…Punisher then has to fight this guy. Lets face it theres no proof that hes a top tier martial artist but he was trained by Jigsaw to be the new Punisher. He at the very least would be a healthy athletic human. Considering the condition Punisher was in its still a very good showing.
Im not sure if this a skyscraper or a very tall building, but Punisher falls from it and survives. The only thing that saves him is that his fall was broken, he was wearing kevlar and he fell on some rubbish. Not that much when you see how high up he was (more than 67 stories).
Everbody knows that Punisher fought Daken and lost, but this was the condition he was in before they fought. He had bleeding bandaged wounds and had a broken leg.
Punisher resists a toxin that is supposed to keep him paralyzed for 24 hours, he starts moving in several and manages to get to his antidote.
Punisher shows good stamina, speed and durability in this showing. Punisher ends up with broken ribs and at least severe concussion but he still manages to run down a trained assassin who has a big head start. Later we see some impressive speed and durability (evading gunfire and landing on car from several stories).
Punisher actually does have a healing factor. Its not a healing factor like Wolverine where it can heal in mid-battle but he can heal relatively fast over long periods of time, much like Captain America.
Jigsaw and his men kicked the crap out of Punisher and cut up his face. Punisher was also on a morphine drip and prior to this showing he said he could barely stand. He still manages to take on two guys and almost escape without getting shot. After this he still manages to muster enough strength to knock a thug on his back with one punch.
This is probably Punisher’s best damage soak showing and this doesn’t even show you all of it. Punisher shows toon like damage soak and even before all this he hadn’t slept in weeks.
Punisher takes a punch from Leetha, not sure how strong she is but she was shown lifting a coach full of people above her head.
Then gets a full force punch from a blood lusted Spiderman
Gets thrown by Spiderman into the air…just see how high up he is and lands on a ****ing car bonnet.
Then gets hit by a car…LOL. Its like roadrunner cartoon.
After that he gets kicked in the stomache by Spiderman and pulls of one hell of trick shot, but that’s in the gunskills section of this thread.
VII. MARTIAL ARTS
Lulz, not a showing but it just shows Punisher fighting philosophy. Fight dirty.
Punisher knows the history of ninjuitsu
Punishers so good at ninjuitsu a ninja grandmaster wanted him to represent him in the US. Yeah man Punisher hates ninjas….GTFO
Punisher is also able to predict the sort of traps that a ninja might use. Punisher hates ninjas? Somebody didn’t do their research.
Punishers moves are good enough for Taskmaster to copy.
LOL! Taskmasters students keep pestering him to teach them Punisher’s moves.
Punisher shows his knowledge of other martial arts. Shorin Ryu, Chin-na. He knows other but couldn’t get the scans.
Punisher uses chi to break a massive block of ice. Punisher also has to do this quickly because there’s a guy underneath the ice whos about to shoot him with a gun.
Classic fight from Circle Of Blood. Punisher is attacked by nine guys in close quarters he beats up six of them and he doesn’t even get touched. The other three decide they don’t want none.
He then walks down to D-block gets attacked by another seven guys and beats them up and then proceeds to humiliate Jigsaw showing impressive strength
Punisher vs. a mob of mafia goons with baseball bats. Not sure how many guys are there. I counted 16 and theres possibly more off panel. Basically one of them has to resort to getting a gun and states that Punisher was creaming them.
Its been stated that the Hand were not aiming to kill but to kill him slowly. It was also stated that Punisher was not at the top of his game. Its been suggested that this meant that he was not prepared. This is nonsense because Punisher stated before that he knew they were following him all day and had a good idea who they were. Punisher has stated that he preps for people he might fight so he’s not going to suspect it’s the Hand and not be prepared. The most likely conclusion is that “off his game” meant he was rusty overall which would include everything including h2h skills. Punisher has also met the Hand before and had not trouble dealing with them so this is the most likely conclusion.
