Punisher War Zone is peak character though. I had one comic as a kid where he's just sniping drug dealers in central park. "Two to the head, two to the heart. Keeps things interesting." Then he ignites their stash and money bags with incendiary rounds. One guy tries to run and Punisher pops out from behind a tree and breaks his neck with a clothesline. Totally badass shit, that will never appear on comic pages again.
He's been turned into an angel at one point. People don't know how to write him, so they go insane.
Also Frankencastle, equally batshit.

That would be fun to read.
