Punisher honestly at least is semi real.justifier wrote:Also I'd like to take a stand for the Punisher, he's not hated by the public, because the public doesn't know about him. He's not some spandex wearing hero flying through New York, he's just an angry guy with a dream...and lots of guns. So the only people that fear him are criminals, and they have good reason
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.
