-->'''Frank Castle'''

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: By the end of ''Daredevil'' season 2, Frank had murdered every criminal directly involved in the death of his family. At this point, he's targeting individuals and entire organizations with even minor relations to the drug trade that led to his family's murder.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Someone called "The Punisher" is, as usual, not someone you want to mess with. Frank unsurprisingly raises his body count far beyond the 98+ people we learned he had killed by the end of ''Series/Daredevil2015'' season 2 in this series as well.

* SpinOff: This show follows the continuing exploits of the version of Frank Castle that served as a secondary character in ''Series/Daredevil2015'' season 2.

* SpinOff: Punisher's role in ''Daredevil'' was well-liked enough for Netflix to spin him off into his own solo series.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Based on the Netflix blurb, it sounds like the criminal underworld will come to fully see him as this.
