* ChestInsignia: A stylized skull.
* ClarkKenting: As the Punisher, he doesn't bother to cover his face; he simply uses a signal jammer to hide it from cameras. Somehow nobody figures him out.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: While he has many similarities with Frank Castle, Jake's identity isn't publicly known - so he can maintain his old job - and instead of an 100% kill policy, he uses an incarceration system that's more in-line with our modern idea of justice ([[DeliberateValuesDissonance but considered barbaric in 2099]]).
* CoolBike: His HD Stealth Stinger 5. It can fly so fast people only perceive it as a gust of wind, and turn all light green via HollywoodHacking.
* CoolCar: He also a black ambulance to haul in perps. The colour is justified; the colour of credit cards corresponds to one's wealth, which in turn corresponds to the services available to them, and how many laws they can break. Black is the top of the scale, which means that the car and everyone in it are immune to laws.
* HandCannon: Jake's main firearm is a circa-2015 Smith and Wesson .54 Magnum full automatic revolver. It's belt-fed and can fire six rounds per second. His justification is that most modern armors are designed to deal with lasers, not lead.
* TheJailer: He maintains one in his basement.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Whole his crusade against crime starts off almost reasonable, especially given the setting, Jake becomes increasingly unhinged as the series goes on, to the point of turning to a NominalHero.
* LegacyCharacter: He is the new Punisher.
* MeaningfulName: His surname is ''Gallows''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Instead of making sure Kron Stone was dead, he instead tossed him in the sewer to die. The same sewer were ComicBook/Venom was. Cue a new Venom coming to torment Spider-Man for years to come.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The Punisher vs [[ComicBook/SpiderVerse Daemos]]. Winner: the Punisher.
* ThePowerOfHate: Who needs a jetpack?
* SarcasticConfession: When his psychiatrist confronts him in his house, suspecting he's the Punisher, Jake flat out admits that he really is that guy, he keeps a prison in his basement, and he was just downstairs beating a prep half to death for kicks. He even offers to show her his costume, which he keeps in his bedroom. She thinks the whole thing is outrageous and brushes all off.
* SecretIdentity: Unlike Frank Castle, Jake maintains a secret identity so he can keep his day job.
* ShoutOut: Jake is practically an {{Expy}} of ComicBook/JudgeDread. They even have the same creator.
* SigilSpam: His uniform has skulls ''everywhere''.
* VillainProtagonist: He gradually turns into one.

!!Jake Gallows
->'''Debut''': ''The Punisher 2099'' #1
Just a while ago, Jake Gallows was an ordinary Public-Eye officer with a happy family, and bright prospects for the future. That was until they run into the psychopath murderer Kron Stone, who got away free due to the shortcomings of the new justice system. Blinded with hatred, and inspired by the adventures of [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]], Jake Gallows took the identity of the Punisher, with the goal to eliminate all crime.
----
* AllCrimesAreEqual: While at first he averts this by applying harsh but proportionate punishments to the criminals, he slowly but surely switches around to this mindset. By the time he [[spoiler:takes over SHIELD]], among other things, the age someone can be tried as an adult is in the single digits, he uses brain scanners to detect bad thoughts, and even wants [[ConsentingAdults consensual adult sex]] to be punished.
* AngstWhatAngst: Invoked. Jake pretends that his family's death hasn't affected him at all so he doesn't get kicked out of the force. He ends up acting the part ''too'' well, as the department's psychiatrist becomes suspicious of him precisely for that reason.
* AscendedFanboy: Jake and his brother had found Frank Castle's war journal stored in the department archives a few years prior, and became huge fans of him, even collecting various guns as a hobby. When Jake's family was killed, he took up the mantle himself.
* BadassBoast: Pretty much every time he's in a fight, but this one takes the cake.
-->'''Jake''': I don't need a jetpack... All I need is ''[[ThePowerOfHate hate]]!''
* BatterUp: His signature weapon the Power Bat. Originally it had adjustable hardness from "rubber" to "titanium", but he never uses the lower settings. Future writers apparently forgot this, because in his cameo in the second volume of ''Spider-Man 2099'', it's a simple baseball bat made of titanium.
* ClarkKenting: As the Punisher, he doesn't bother to cover his face; he simply uses a signal jammer to hide it from cameras.
