--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I didn't care about the politician haranguing the crowd below -- I'd had enough of his kind when I was younger and believed that sort of drivel -- but I knew what another assassination would do to this country -- and that was something I cared about.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

War Journal, Entry Ten -- continued: The Mechanic was my ordinance man in 'Nam. He had a special genius for devising weapons and explosives... a genius that was almost terminated by a claymore mine in Quảng Trị Province. "Maybe its just as well," he said when I first looked him up in the Maryland Veteran's Home... "Guys like us, Captain, we were trained for one thing only... killin'. What good are we to anybody without a war?" At the time, I didn't have a good answer for the Mechanic. I suppose I don't really have one for him even now... but I do have a war.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Remember my face! It's the last thing you're ever going to see ... and I want you to carry the memory of it straight to HELL!

Doesn't take a doctor of theology to know they are not doing the Lord's work.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

They laugh at the law. The rich ones who buy it and twist it to their whims. The other ones, who have nothing to lose, who don't care about themselves, or other people. All the ones who think they're above the law, or outside it, or beyond it. They know all the law is good for is to keep good people in line. And they all laugh. They laugh at the law. But they don't laugh at me.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Ninja Training Camp--a commercial mutation of the ancient Japanese way of life--or maybe not. The ninja began as a way of life--of self-preservation against the government. But ninjutsu became a business. Ninjutsu is derived from the written character shinobi, and means to "steal in". All ninja had to be proficient with three major weapons--some were skilled with as many as twenty. The modern ninja looks little like his traditional counterpart. But the purpose remains the same--to steal in, steal secrets, maim, kill and bamboozle your enemies, often at the behest of a wealthy client--or government.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I came to Scully's Ninja Training Camp to find Iris Green, who'd poisoned the middle-weight boxing champ, B.J. Johnson. I found Iris's file seconds before encountering Katherine Yakamoto, daughter of the legendary ninja teacher, Hatsu Yakamoto. Katherine claimed to be on a mission to punish the bogus Scully for his presumption, and I was her unwitting ally. Scully and his men surrounded the house. She split, leaving me holding the bag, so I torched the place and escaped into the surrounding fields...

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

That's a good deal of lead flying around right where you want it.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

There're over eleven thousand cabs in New York City. And almost nobody has a good word to say about any of them. But when it's raining New Yorkers keep their opinions to themselves. They hate the cabbies even more. New York cabbies are near legendary for their surliness and indifference. It's their suit of armor. But somebody out there hates them with more than the usual venom. Five cabbies in as many weeks. All done with a .44 Magnum. Probably a Charter Arms Bulldog. David Berkowitz's weapon of choice. No sex angle. No big names. The press is ignoring. The cops have better things to do. Time for me to pull a few late nights.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Funny thing about Uzis - the smaller they are, the faster they shoot.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Nobody suspects the caterer.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

See? It's not how much it hurts. It's how much you think it'll hurt.

I'm only human

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

"My way is to cap him in the face and leave him in the street but this way is more ... traditional ..."

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Four dead & I'll bet my pulse is still under eighty. Not bad for a warm-up.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

We're nothing alike, me and the enemy. Yes, we both deal in death. But they sell theirs. I give it away.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Wait what?! This where you beat the crap out of me for what I did to you? What?!

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Wire's around my wide-pipe now...arms going numb...vision red around edges... Gonna die in the stinking subway.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Lower the shield, man! Just walk away! Or you can never go back......and it's lonely as hell once you get here! There's nothing...But the cold satisfaction of punishment!

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You wouldn't like where I'm going.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

What have I done?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

"I won't shoot you, you're an honest cop. But I'm going to shoot him. Even if he goes to prison, he'll be out in five years to do it all over again."

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Survivors aren't your problem.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I think I shoulda just killed you after all, spider.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm through being anybody's soldier.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I caught a glimpse of Heaven once. The angels showed me. The idea was I'd kill for them. Clean up their mistakes on Earth. Eventually redeem myself. Tried it. Didn't like it. Told them where to stick it. So they brought me up to Heaven, to see what I'd be missing. A wife. A son. A daughter. All finally at peace. I hadn't seen them since they bled out in my arms. Then I was cast down. Back to a world of killers. Rapists. Psychos. Perverts. A brand new evil every minute, spewed out as fast as men can think them up. A world where pitching a criminal dwarf off a skyscraper to tell his fellow scum you're back is a sane and rational act. The angels thought it would be Hell for me. But they were wrong. Welcome back, Frank. Says New York City.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm coming for you, Ma Gnucci. I thought I'd let you know so you could plan your funeral in advance. I got your sons. I got your killers. Now I've got your man-behind-the-man. Or man-behind-the-hag in your case, Ma.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm disappointed in the choirboy. He didn't bring out the world class supercreeps. Two females and a blind guy. Looks like I'll still be doing all the heavy lifting.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

In a place like this, what comes to hand depends on your imagination. Always did like the zoo.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'll be watching you.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Links disintegrate -- bolt clanks back and forth behind the thudding roar -- brass rains on the sidewalk--the 'sixty rattles out its song. A song I first heard years ago -- of fireteams dug in on the breaks between the paddyfields, of tracer lasering the jungle night, of Hueys screaming through the void -- of Lieutenant Castle getting short and hating it, wanting 'Nam to last forever -- a lullaby come all the way to New York City -- come to sing you to sleep.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

We had a team-up. You were great.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I don't smile much. Don't smile ever. But if I did--this would be one.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Whatever Kriegkopf had on you died with him. The fact he had something means you're dirty. But that's your business. My business is the maniac you let in was sicced on me. Most people involved in attempts to kill me die. Not you. You get a warning. Don't ever give me cause to visit you again. Like I say I can get in anywhere. Nothing stops me. The latest idiots to try are vapor. Nine millimeters. I'm never further away than that.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

It's okay, Joe. I caught you.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You're all spooks and boy scouts -- she...she's a warrior. She wants to avenge the death of her family, and she's willing to do whatever it takes. I respect that.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

True story. I never think about it. That way I figure I'll stay sane. But it's true.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

All of a sudden, I'm in the mood for a cheeseburger.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Your time's over, Oswald Zinn, "Napoleon", or whatever the hell you call yourself. This is your Waterloo.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Just because you married a bunch of greaseballs, doesn't make you gangsters.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Well... At least I finally know what a cape's good for.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

S.H.I.E.L.D. could swoop down in from the sky and put one long-overdue bullet between my eyes right this very second.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Me, I know where I stand. And I don't worry about it. Because when it's over. When they're all dead and the war is over... there'll still be one bullet left. To clear all accounts.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

We gotta steal a car. I'm going to MEXICO, and I'm gonna SHOOT THAT GUY in the FACE.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Children. He's using children. I should't be surprised. Children are always in the front lines of a war. At least this won't take long. One look at me and they're frozen. Like they're looking at the angel of death. It's a good start.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You think that's all it'll take to kill me? You think that's all it'll take to kill CAPTAIN AMERICA?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Relax. It'll fade. And if it doesn't, well...You get used to it.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

So they're idiots. Nobody with that kind of gear is harmless. Just like the last Stilt-Man. They'll get cocky and overconfident and open fire in a crowd to prove a point and people die when idiots get power.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Inside the first twenty-four hours there won't be an Alceno crew. They're on my list anyway. I'll bump them to the top, give you the space you need to work.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Excuse us. Coming through. Thank you.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

One click down for automatic. Two clicks down for semi. Mikhail Kalashnikov was not a man to mess around.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Joey Balls...I thought I killed you.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

That's where the caped crowd always misses the point. Some enemies you charge head-on. Others you shoot through the head with a high-powered Skrull sniper rifle from four miles away.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I send them to hell. I sleep just fine.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I didn't break up that biotech weapons deal in New York...and follow the merchandise halfway around the world...to sit on the sidelines watching a five-foot-two hairball try and stab a giant metal dog to death.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You boys like Skynyrd?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Microchip's dead.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Only one way to cure a junkie. Same way you cure a killer.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I see Maria waiting... it's a good lie.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You don't know what it's like to hate. To have your entire life become nothing more than an expression of hate. Nothing else matters. Nothing else can compare. Or taste as sweet.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

They kept her alive. Maria. My wife.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Why all of this--for what? Revenge for your old man? Was it worth making me kill you?!

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You killed Bridge. Sold my wife to Jigsaw.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

A good place to end things. Just don't say another word. Let him remember you like this.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

It's called spider-sense. Idiots.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

We have a new target, Marine. Form on me. We're going to war.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

These are your tools. The rest are the luxuries of the living. The dead don't get music. The dead don't get beauty. The dead don't get flavor, or warmth, or friendship. Because the dead don't feel.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Punisher War Journal entry #22173. Whatever it was that changed Spider-Man's worldview on dealing with criminals... I approve. Which is something that before now, he would never want. And if he goes too far over the edge? I'll be waiting.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Sounds like you don't think I'm so crazy after all.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

We're trying to find the Paguro Family, which has survived everything thrown against them -- me included -- because they're incredibly good at not being found. Other criminals won't talk about them. They're too afraid. If you want to find out anything about the Paguros, you need to be scarier than they are.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

All I need was a reason to be in court also, a trial of my own.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

No. They're all here. All of the scum. All in one place. It's perfect.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Going against a target guns blazing feels like swimming straight up. I still have to know what kinds of guns to bring, though. Death is immediate... but killing takes patience, or so training says. Sometimes, lots of patience, gathering intel. Been struck in traffic now for 30 minutes. I'm not feeling patient today.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Let's talk outside. Got something for you in the car. Dos Soles brought some weapon in last night. What ever it is, it's not what they used in Mexico. Not chemical. EMP, maybe. Shorted out my NVGs.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Hey, Mercy, that's your name, right? You know what they call me? Punisher. Never had much use for mercy.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

No, Tuggs. I'm the doctor here and the patient needs continuity of care. I have to see it through. If I don't stop them, well... everyone will get involved then, anyway.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm not afraid of death, Electro. That's a weakness of men. I'm the Punisher.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

This feels more and more like fighting a war in someone else's name, fighting a war for politics... victory doesn't feel like victory. When war becomes politics you fight for your brother instead. We are soldiers, not politicians. Not even civilians. But my brothers are gone... so who do I fight for?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

What was your mission?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm not your sherpa. Come on, sister. Tick, tock.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You made things easy. I don't have to come and find you. You're next on my list.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I don't care when the first time you saw me was, as long as this is the last time. We're done.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Mr. Ruiz. My name is Frank Castle. I thought we could have a little chat.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

L.A. is a stray coyote. All it wants is to bite my hand off. But I've held it like a muzzle. Looked into it's eyes. And made it my bitch. It's time to make L.A. do what I want it to.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Can I ask you something? Is it part of your regular duties to scoop up American citizens and bind and terrorize their children?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I can take on a city. But not a nation.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You can hear the truth... or you can kill me.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

These men believe they are agents of death. The terrorists think that they bring war. But they don't know how long I've spent in the company of death and war. They don't know... death and war are my allies.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I need some air. One last breath. Pain is drowning. And drowning is --

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Don't be an idiot. Too many idiots in masks out there already, living in their fantasy dream world. You think heroes don't kill? Heroes get people killed all the time. Ask your boss. Ask Daredevil. Lotsa people died on his watch.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

So choices. Maybe you and I fight, which would give that wannabe Crimson Dynamo idiot time to grab Antonov and leave. In which case nobody dies -- unless the red guy kills us while we're fighting over who's got moral superiority. Or instead, I'll just kill them both right now. You don't even have to look, Daredevil. It'll be our little secret.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Don't be an idiot. Too many idiots in masks out there already, living in their fantasy dream world. You think heroes don't kill? Heroes get people killed all the time. Ask your boss. Ask Daredevil. Lotsa people died on his watch.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Now, how about some ice cream?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

That's a ten-inch blade and I'm guessing about a two-inch thick table. How much fat does it have to go through before that thing reaches your heart? Let's find out

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You're sending us in with a bunch of mercenaries?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Stranger things have happened.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I don't want to be friends. I just know my limitations. And the fires of Hell will burn this city to the ground if you don't follow me. That enough to get you out of bed, Doc?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

No. This isn't your fight. You protected me. It's my turn to protect you.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Wait. Look at them. Look at what they're doing. These aren't monsters. They're people from another realm. Families... just wearing a different skin. That -- that magician. He pulled them into our crossfire. Not a thing I take kindly to.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I don't want to be friends. I just know my limitations. And the fires of Hell will burn this city to the ground if you don't follow me. That enough to get you out of bed, Doc?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm looking for a couple of out-of-towners. Nasty-looking dirtbags. Probably real #$%@.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You can fly a World War I biplane?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Wait. Look at them. Look at what they're doing. These aren't monsters. They're people from another realm. Families... just wearing a different skin. That -- that magician. He pulled them into our crossfire. Not a thing I take kindly to.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I can't thank you enough for your hospitality. Are you sure you're safe out here all alone?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Come on, Strange. I don't know if you're the best anymore, but you're the best we got.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You like magic tricks? Abracadabra.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You can fly a World War I biplane?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Come on, Strange. I don't know if you're the best anymore, but you're the best we got.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Stay here until you hear the gunfire stop.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

What is even happening?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Tag. You're it.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Never kiss me when I don't have a free hand to shoot you with.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

If he doesn't get justice... I promise you... he'll get punishment.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

It don't matter who I am, Fred. It matters what I could be, if you and I don't come to an understanding. I could be God's red right hand. I could be His swift and terrible vengeance. I could be your punishment. Hail Hydra.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Go ahead. Give it to him. He's too much of a coward to pull the trigger.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

The cockroaches always come out when the lights go off.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Are you up for an adventure tonight?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Don't tell me when the conflict is over.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm not here to save your country.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Your goons broke my suit, Fury.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You know I'm close, Fury. Petrov dies today or I do. And I know you're okay with either option.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Two dozen prison guards were killed by Hydra and rioting convicts. Ghost escaped. Baron Zemo escaped. The Supreme Commander is still alive. And you consider tonight a win. That's why I'm not on your team.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Come on, Daredevil! You have to -- wake up!

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Either way, this is going as well as all the others.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

What's your endgame here, Fury? You going to ask me to stop killing Hydra?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Okay, listen up. This is how it's going to be. You don't like it, you leave now...

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

I'm not leaving. There are a lot of people here I need to see.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Sounds like a suicide mission in the perfect place for an ambush.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You're following a little too close, Doc.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

You know what? I don't care if that's true. That's the greatest story I've ever heard in my life, and I want it to be. Let me get you a beer. For real this time.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Is this where you tell me not to kill them?

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

No, Doctor... the war never ends.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Whoever this High Evolutionary is, he's got some kind of fetish to be Dr. Frankenstein.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

No. We have one more name on our list. This one belongs to me.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Our hearts will give out eventually. Until that day... we fight.

--Frank Castle (Earth-616)

Frank	Help her?

— Wolverine/Punisher Revelation #2

"Logan"	I never figured angels to be so arrogant.
Frank	They're not arrogant. They're bitter. The only thing they know of life is what they see in us.

— Wolverine/Punisher Revelation #4

Punisher	One bullet. One shot. One chance to stop me killing Dino Gnucci. It's time for that choice you were telling me about. You can't break loose in time. You haven't the space to throw the gun, maybe knock me off my aim. I've got my back to you. I'm wearing Kevlar. It's got to be a headshot.
Daredevil	Now wait a minute--
Punisher	If you don't shoot you've got a death on your conscience. A death you could have prevented. If you do shoot, you're a killer.
Daredevil	What kind of choice is that...?
Punisher	The one I make every time I pull the trigger.

You're insane! It's mass murder, whatever you want to call it! It's genocide! What'll you do, keep going 'til we're all dead? Will that make you happy, you sick, twisted creep?! You should put a bullet in your own head, Punisher! That's the only way you'll get any peace! And you know, it too! You're a dead man walking, Punisher! You are damned!

Punisher

So tell me something I don't know.

— Punisher Vol 5 #12

Punisher	I guess the Daredevil witness protection program didn't pan out, huh?
Daredevil	Neither has your one-man war on double-decker buses.

Punisher	Rachel...no one should be like me.

— Punisher Vol 9 #16

Spider-Man	I don't know if you killed those people or not. I really don't. You've always given cops a pass before, but as you are a nutjob, you may have changed your mind. Heck, one of them may have looked at you funny or called you moo-moo bunny-lips. Whatever, your murderous run is over. You are over, Frank. You're done.
Punisher	I'm done when I'm dead, kid.

— Punisher: War Zone Vol 3 #1

Black Widow	Your friend, Sergeant Cole-Alves, she is going to die for you, Captain. She will be found guilty in the eyes of the law and they will execute her.

Punisher	Relax. You won this battle.
Spider-Man	But I might have just lost the war.

— Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #10

Punisher	You know why Murdock wants to get Antonov to Texas?
