The Punisher is one of my favorite characters. The reason for this is because he takes matters into his own hands. He has a problem and deals with it in his own way. He is bound by the genre of "shoot 'em up" movies mainly because if he was in a romantic comedy it would drastically change the genre. He also could not exist in a real society, mainly because if he was killing all of those people in real life he would've been caught and arrested. There have been people who try to live like him, "above the law", but they always end up caught and incarcerated. You might be able to say that the character of, someone who has been wronged and rises up against adversity, is a universal character. There are many other books, and movies who use this character as their protagonist but nobody does it quite like The Punisher. He is very good at revenge, using torturing people, and killing them in interesting ways to avenge his family. He is the main character of the story therefore without him there would be no story. He and his family make up most of the cast so without them there would be no story.
