The Punisher represents one of the most recognizable types of anti-heroes. His iconic skull insignia stands for a unique type of justice: protecting the innocent while violently eliminating everyone he sees as a villain. This collection examines the Punisher from philosophical perspectives about morality and justice. Essays critique the character through the lenses of gender and feminism; consider the Punisher's veteran status in relation the Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq wars; and examine how politics and gun violence connect the Punisher's world with the real world. Many iterations of the Punisher are examined within, including the Netflix release of Marvel's \u003ci\u003eThe Punisher\u003c\/i\u003e, comics series such as \u003ci\u003ePunisher: MAX, Marvel Knights\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCosmic Ghost Rider\u003c\/i\u003e, and several fan fiction stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alicia M.
