* EpicFail: Gadriel for failing to protect Frank's family due to him being too busy getting drunk and hitting on women. It's especially bad since it's made clear that being assigned to watch over the Castle family was Heaven's way of giving Gadriel a largely unprecedented second chance... which he promptly squandered in the worst way possible by giving into the same Earthly temptations that caused him to screw up the first time.

A four-part ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'' miniseries, released in 1998, proving that even the most adult-themed comics weren't immune to the industry DorkAge.
Some time ago, Frank Castle killed himself. But he came back [[EmpoweredBadassNormal with strange divine powers]], and uses them in his war against crime. He is then pulled into a conflict between angels and a power-hungry demon, and learns the truth behind his work as a vigilante.
This iteration of Punisher appeared for the second (and last) time in a crossover miniseries with Comicbook/{{Wolverine}}, subtitled ''Revelation''.
