Powers:
The Punisher possesses the normal human strength of a 6'1" 200-pound man, who engages in rigorous regular physical exercise. Frank engages in a brutal regimen of calisthenics, katas and firing range
practice daily, maintaining his combat skills.
The Punisher is a seasoned combat veteran of exceptional skills. A former U.S. Marine Captain with a distinguished combat record, Castle underwent sniper(his second tour in Vietnam was served as a sniper, as implied in "In the Beginning") and recon training while in the Corps. He also received SEAL (Sea, Air, Land), UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), LRRP (Long Range Recon Patrol) training and airborne training with Army special forces. It has also been revealed in both the Marvel Knights and MAX imprints of The Punisher that Frank Castle did receive training, skills and expertise from the Australian Army's Special Air Service Regiment when he was on exchange with Australian military forces operating in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War (It is also noted that while Castle was on exchange with the Australian SAS in Vietnam, he met Yorkie Mitchell, a British SAS soldier who was on exchange with the Australians at the same time. Mitchell would later become an agent for the British intelligence agency, MI6 and he would cross paths and work with Castle on a number of occasions during the Marvel Knights and MAX runs of The Punisher).
Frank is well-versed in the arts of warfare and hand-to-hand combat. His styles of choice being Nash Ryu Jiu Jutsu (the four-style martial art founded by Sensei Adam Nash, the Punisher's mentor), Ninjutsu, Shorin-Ryu, Hwarangdo, Chin Na, MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) or the Marine Corps LINE combat system, Tai Chi, as well as unarmed combat training received in the military. He is an exceptional knife fighter who carries up to 3 or 4 different types of edged weapons, preferring the knife he learned to fight with in the USMC: the Ka-bar(in the movie he killed Harry Heck with a ballistic knife.)
Armed solely with conventional weapons and motivated by a fanatical hatred for criminals like those who murdered his family, the Punisher has single-handedly incapacitated up to a dozen well-armed and experienced opponents in a single encounter and escaped almost uninjured. It is his military training and his attention to detail that allows him to achieve this. He is an exceptional marksman who is sometimes depicted as being ambidextrous in this respect. The Punisher Armory series illustrates some of his thinking and training.
The Punisher's Arsenal:
The Punisher has employed an almost endless array of conventional firearms, such as machine guns, rifles, shotguns, handguns, knives, explosives and other weapons. Castle keeps all his weapons and supplies in warehouses and safe houses all over New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and elsewhere. He employs this exhaustive arsenal of weaponry in his war against criminals and organized crime on a regular basis and with considerable effect.
The Punisher often customizes his weapons for greater effectiveness with both standard and custom items such as magnified optics, reflex sights, night vision scopes, flashlights, grenade launchers, sound and flash suppressors, bipods, high-capacity magazines and drums, and ammunition types such as, but not limited to, hollow point or armor piercing bullets.
As of the Marvel MAX printing of The Punisher, Castle prefers the use of a shotgun for close quarter encounters and an M-60 for large amounts of targets in most situations. When performing reconnaissance work, he employs a high-powered sniper rifle. Traditionally, under the Tim Bradstreet covers, Frank Castle has usually been outfitted with an M-16A2 rifle, an Uzi sub-machine gun, a Heckler & Koch HK33 rifle, two Desert Eagle handguns, an L1A1 SLR and different varieties of handguns.
Throughout the Punisher's crusade against criminals, he had occasionally used a number of high-tech transportation. During his early series, he used battle vans specially built and customized by his then-partner, Microchip. The common denominator among them was heavily armored, loaded with high-powered ammunitions with advanced telecommunication capabilities. He basically used his vans for criminal surveillance and weapons transportation. He has also used motorcycles, helicopters, speed boats, or whatever he can find and use. In the Marvel MAX Punisher series, Castle resorts to basic equipment to track down his targets, and drove a black Hummer H2 SUV. While in the Ultimate Timeline : His cop training is used to hunt down Targets but the guns are the same.
Teams: or Group Affiliation: None at this point.
Green Berets, U.S. Marine Corps (in his Army and nam days)
However, in the past he has teamed up with just about every hero in Marvel at one point or another. He has been apart of the Marvel Knights group led by Daredevil. Back in 2000, he has team with fury on a number of times, this would be true for Wolverine, Spider -man, and yes Daredevil now has rare teams up which would include Blade, Ghost Rider, Dan Ketch, Johnny Blaze, Captain America, Black Widow, (both of them The Hulk, Death Lock, Deadpool, Vemon, Doctor Strange as part as the secret defenders, and the marvel knight but that was disbaned after 5 books (all Marvel).
Another small fact about the Punisher is that he has been in the DCU while tracking Jigsaw and he has crossed paths with both Batman Azrael in " lake of fire" and Bruce Wayne in Deadly Knights.
He has not teamed up with anyone, in the MAX timeline he has teamed up with his company back in Nam' but other then that he does not trust anyone anymore, Then in Civil War he was part of Captain America's team Formerly Secret Avengers
