Punisher honestly at least is semi real.

He sticks to the shadows...the police overlook him because to them he does what they want to do...so in a fantasy world it works enough.

People don't know him because he doesn't stop intergalactic/dimensional/universal menaces.

On the flip side DC tries this with Batman which honestly makes little sense given how public he works...he maybe stealthy but he actively helps out people. It's not like he sits with a Sniper rifle aiming for the next piece of scum to walk into view.

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all

Actually he's known by the public, and they LOVE him. The cops won't turn
him in, even though he breaks all kinds of laws, because he does the job
they'd LOVE to do...but can't
