History

Matt Axel was a Public Eye tech and friend of Jake Gallows, the Punisher.

He played the tech support to Jake as Microchip, Henri, or Stuart Clarke had done for Frank Castle, creating more and more of his weapons, using his work as a cover.

He also conceived the Punishment Hotel under Jake's house.

Taking Saber Hagen under his care

He was one of the rare philanthropists of his age, assisting the Degens and taking care of them in his his Degens Hostel. During a time, he was helped by the young Saber Hagen, a Degens born from military experimentation subjects and who later became the Public Enemy.[2]

As Punisher's support, he quickly became frightened by Jake's change of mind, his schizophrenia, expeditive methods, and finally was done with helping him.

Public Enemy File[]

With the Public Enemy rise, he came to see Matt who reproved his actions and made him stop, but he was then targeted by the Punisher, considering he had betrayed him in hiding Saber, and in providing him an unloaded gun to confront the Red Dog. In a psychotic state, Jake stated that the Punisher personality had taken control of him, and stopped his attack.

One Nation Under Doom[]

When the Punisher was appointed head of the Punishment Police by President Doom, Matt went paranoiac and rebuilt the robot Gold Heart as "The Real Punisher", considering that his former friend had became a pawn of the corporations.

He was then considered by Jake as an enemy and targeted. Jake quickly became crazy about Matt and soon was considered by Doom as unstable, and he tried to eliminate him.

Matt Axel rejoined his hideout, intending to flee from Earth, but his transport was requisitioned by Jake, now a fugitive himself.
