History

Frank Castle shared a similar history to his Prime Marvel Universe until Steve Rogers was seriously injured at the hands of the Red Skull. Frank Castle was initially selected to replace him as Captain America but he declined so he could spend time with his family. Several others were tested, but all failed for different reasons. During this time, Frank's family was killed by a mob hit and he decided to take up the mantle as Captain America. He worked with the Avengers to take down Hammerhead and brutally took him and his gang down. While the Avengers discussed Frank's more aggressive approach, Frank becomes the Punisher and went out and killed the gang of Bruno Costa having determined they were the group responsible for his family's death. Eventually he makes his way to the Costa headquarters, where he was confronted by a cybornetically enhanced Steve Rogers who convinced Frank to give up being the Punisher and embrace his role as Captain America.
