Ma Gnucci

You scum! You vicious, evil scum! You're no better than I am, Punisher! You think you're better, you think you're on the side of justice, but you're wrong! You're a serial killer, Punisher! 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.

Synopsis for "Go Frank Go"

Ma Gnucci flies into a hate-filled diatribe against the Punisher. Frank douses Ma’s house with gasoline and from outside lobs a grenade inside, setting the place on fire. With near-superhuman strength, Ma launches herself from the second story window, latching onto Frank’s leg with her teeth. Frank drop kicks her back into the burning building. Frank walks up to a surprised Soap and von Richthofen and in exchange for info on the copycat vigilantes gives them incriminating photos of the mayor and police commissioner. Back at the apartment Spacker Dave, Joan and Mr. Bumpo are all pleasantly astonished when they find a huge stack of Ma Gnucci’s money left for them by the Punisher. Soap becomes police commissioner and von Richthoven is running for mayor. Punisher heads over to Father Redondo’s church and finds the Vigilante Squad squabbling. They are happy to see him as they think he’s going to be their leader. He guns them down instead.
