Marvel Comics has been slowly moving to materially alter its “Punisher” character after years of disgust at pro-police groups and conservatives using the character’s white skull logo, but now, in the company’s latest Punisher series, it looks like they have set up the complete end of Frank Castle. (snip) writer Gerry Conway has been extremely upset over use of the logo by Deplorables. Conway claims that his character was meant as criticism of the police and, being a left-winger, he despises the fact that his character was adopted by people on the right.

The idiot forgets his creation was a criticism of corrupt cops. Cops who do their jobs are real blessings. Too bad all he is filled with is hate.

Backfire for libs once again. The skull icon will really become powerful now that Marvel can't ruin it by making it's character into a Bud lite-drinking, female transgender idiot or something.

Ooo…that’ll stop us for sure. We won’t be able to figure out how to create an exact copy. Sometimes, I just can’t believe the left is as stupid as they are.

As an alienated teen back in the Sixties, I saw Marvel Comics as a window to what could be. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created a portal for the imagination.
Now it's just a mouthpiece for cultural rot.

I am sure that the Marvel Comics team explored having the Punisher come out as gay or become transgender before deciding to retire the character.

They want to go big with their demise. No small fade aways for them.

Ya...and Thanos's motivation was to save the Galaxy, create intergalactic peace, end pollution, restore natures balance, reverse global warming, end over population, he even had a trans daughter, that he kept "Improving" on the pathway to perfecting.
BUT...since Conway and Marvel no longer WANT the character, or the Logo? Everyone is entitled to use it as they wish.

Achully...He STOLE the character to begin with.
The Punisher was conceived by Gerry Conway, and was inspired by The Executioner, a popular book series created by author Don Pendleton, in which a Vietnam veteran, Mack Bolan, becomes a serial killer of criminals after the Mafia-related deaths of his family. Conway said in a 1987 interview that "I was fascinated by the Don Pendleton Executioner character, which was fairly popular at the time, and I wanted to do something that was inspired by that, although not to my mind a copy of it."
Even though his original title was "The Assassin", Stan Lee made the change to "The Punisher".
Also was a veitnam veteran whose family was killed by the MOB(and CIA), thence become a serial killer criminals. In school..THAT would be called Plagiarism.

Change the 'Punishers' looks ever so slightly, so the woke liberal cop hating writer can't sue for infringement, and start letting him go after woke liberals and Antifa characters!

I guess this Conway fellow forgets the lesson of Norman Lear thinking that the character of Meathead would be the favorite in his show All in the Family. Instead it was the crusty conservative curmudgeon named Archie Bunker who got the love from the viewers. Meathead was put exactly where he needed to be, as the punching bag for Archie. I loved watching that show, and Lear never got over the fact his creation was loved by republicans and that Meathead turned into an insult for dumb liberals.

I have an idea, put the Punisher on t-shirts in rainbow gay pride colors and sell them at Target. That's sure to kill off the Punisher in short fashion.
