Fun fact: There's a classic Daredevil comic where Punisher is one of the villains, and ends up accidentally killing a civilian while escaping police custody. If I remember correctly, it clearly disturbs him, but he swallows it with some "greater good" argument.ravenshrike said:The problem with having The Punisher kill civilians is he is very patient when is suits him. So unless killing the civilians is the only way to take out a target inside a several day period, he is EXTREMELY unlikely to do so
Jump ahead a few years later (to Punisher Marvel Knights) and he kills another vigilante for doing the same thing.
I don't know which take Netflix will go with, but since the former is a Daredevil storyline, that approach wouldn't surprise me at all.
