The Punishers are a semi-secret society of vigilantes who target drug dealers; The fact of their existence is an open secret, but their membership is totally secret. The Punishers hunt drug dealers, usually killing entire gangs, often without concern for collateral damage- Everyone in the building dies.
What little is known of their history centers around the founder, Frank CASTLE; He was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and was in great physical condition. He can use any gun and has various torture techniques which he uses to get information. He was known to employ murder, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture in his war on crime. He uses his skills acquired during the war to plan missions in great detail and can turn any situation to his advantage while being able to withstand great pain. Castle also learned field medicine and camouflage techniques for stealthy attacks. He was trained by the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy and Army. CASTLE'S military training has made him skilled with all firearms. CASTLE usually used duel handguns or specially-modified M-16's (including M-203's a custom-built, illegally modified, semi-automatic shotguns) with pin-point accuracy and could fight with a combat knife. He also uses explosives to his advantage and tear gas grenades. Driven by the deaths of his wife and two children, who were killed by the mob when they witnessed a gangland execution in New York City's Central Park, the Punisher wages a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general by using all manner of conventional war weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A Viet Nam War veteran, Castle is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, guerrilla warfare, and a wide variety of weapons.
Over time, CASTLE drew to himself (quite against his will) many people who felt as he did; This became the nascent Punisher Army. Sooner rather than later they began buying guns on the black market, but the goals remained the same: Kill drug dealers.
The Punishers, as a collective, took over for their leader around 2005, who was getting tired of "his" war. Still he taught them all he knew, drilling it into them until everything became second nature- "Muscle memory" he called it.
A curious detail about the Punishers is their attention to detail and use of counter-forensics: So well trained are they that they haven't left a single useful clue in 250 years. They police brass, use unregistered guns (it's believed they may, in fact be manufacturing their own barrels), wear gloves and full-body suits (to contain DNA),
The closest thing to a conviction law enforcement has gotten in 4 HUNDRED years ;
A curious clue to a possible Punisher attack is the sudden theft of AR-15/M-16 barrels within a week of an attack; This now registers as a red flag, though it's also suspected that those from whom the guns were "stolen" actually handed the barrels over of their own free will- Or are in fact members of the Punishers.
