Early Years
Francis "Frank" David G. Castle Sr. was born in Hell's Kitchen, New York and joined the Marine Corps at his early adulthood after finishing military academy in the early 2000s, where he was eventually placed within the Cerberus Squad, under the command of Colonel Ray Schoonover and William Rawlins III, also known as Agent Orange, undertaking classified missions behind enemy lines. Fearing he was slowly losing his honor under the command of Agent Orange, Castle resigned from the covert ops squad and willingly returned to his wife and children, only to lose them all during a brutal shooting in Central Park, which was later revealed to be an assassination attempt orchestrated by some of the former members of Cerberus Squad.

Unable to move on and failed by a corrupt criminal justice system who left his the slaughter of his family unjustified, Frank furiously sought revenge, devoting his entire life to the task of destroying organized crime wherever he finds it, along with his core mission of seeking to avenge his own family's deaths. Due to his extreme vigilante actions, Castle became the Punisher, as he aimed to clean up New York City of crime by any means necessary.

Trial of the Punisher
At some point while he was still seeking vengeance for his family's deaths, Castle came into conflict with the Guardian Devil of Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil. Castle was soon arrested and, despite the efforts of Nelson and Murdock, was sentenced to life within prison. However, Castle was almost immediately freed with the help of Wilson Fisk, and discovered that the mysterious criminal Blacksmith, who was Schoonover all along, was the one who was responsible for his family's murder, or at least he was partly responsible for the latter.

Avenging the Past
During his ongoing hunt to kill all of the gangs who had been responsible for killing his family among others, Frank was eventually found by a man by the name of Micro who revealed to him that more people had been involved in his family's death, and they were involved in the illegal Operation Cerberus he had performed in Afghanistan. While hunting down all those involved, Castle came back into contact with his old best friend Billy Russo, who he eventually learned was working with William Rawlins to try and assassinate Castle back at the day.

Having discovered the whole truth regarding the loss of his loved ones, Castle allowed himself to be captured by Russo and Rawlins, until he eventually killed Rawlins and, in a brutal showdown at Central Park, managed to defeat Russo and disfigure his face beyond repair, an action of his that would subsequently turn his old friend turned rival into the future powerful ravenous and vengeful criminal, Jigsaw.

Battle of New York
After months of continuing his vigilantism across the United States as the Punisher, Frank was courageously obligated to join the heroic fight when the Earth was in great peril due to the arrival of extraterrestrial threats, led by the dangerous unearthly race of creatures guided by Loki, known as the Chitauri. As a result, he coincidentally joined forces with other the street-level heroes to reform the heroic team Defenders, once again to fight off the descending aliens from above, alongside the S.H.I.E.L.D.-based turned independent heroic team known as the Avengers. With the best efforts of both parties, the Chitauri Invasion was thwarted once and for all, and the Earth was saved, thanks to it's mightiest and most fearless heroes who bravely helped defend it. Although he aids many heroes in their quests later on during their future encounters, they often come into conflict over his way of dealing with crime.
