* ChurchOfHappyology: Fearmaster runs a cult where he preaches that aliens are returning to ferry the faithful off into space. The aliens may actually exist, but it's mostly his way of cheating and extorting his congregation.
* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Despite the similarities (they even look a lot like each other), Jake is fairly distinct from Frank. First, he isn't publicly known as the Punisher, so he can keep his day job. Second, his methods are often a lot more restrained- he's willing to use incarceration instead of Frank's 100% execution policy. [[note]] Note that prisons are considered barbaric and backwards in the 2099 world- so Jake's vigilantism is actually the closest thing in this universe to the readers' idea of a normal justice system [[/note]]
* CoolBike: Jake's HD Stealth Stinger 5. It could move fast enough that most people only registered it as a gust of wind, and it turned any traffic lights on his route green as he approached through the magic of HollywoodHacking.
* CoolCar: He also had a converted black ambulance hovercar for hauling in perps.

In his brief appearance in the second ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' series it's depicted as an actual metal baseball bat, probably becaude the artist didn't receive a reference for it.

-->-- '''Jake Gallows''' in the first issue
The ''Franchise/{{Marvel 2099}}'' take on ''Comicbook/ThePunisher'', that ran for 38 issues from 1993 to 1995.
When Jake Gallows' mother, sister and his brother-in-law were killed and the guy responsible got off easy, he decides take the law on his hands as the new Punisher. Since it is a [[CyberPunk dystopian future]], NinetiesAntiHero tropes are abound.
!!This comic has the examples of:
* AbortedArc: There were hints tha Jake's action were a case of SplitPersonalityTakeover early on, but that went nowhere.
* AllCrimesAreEqual: At first, Jake's killing murderous scum in reaction to his Mom and sister being murdered by crooks who got away with it. At the end of the series, sponsored by a new regime, he's gone around the bend. Among many things, the age at which someone can be tried as an adult is now in the single digits and pretty much everything is a crime punishable by whatever the hell he wants it to be (and brain scanners are used to cover [[{{Thoughtcrime}} bad thoughts]]). At one point, he expresses the desire that [[ConsentingAdults consensual adult sex]] should be punished.
* AscendedFanboy: Jake was obsessed with Frank Castle's war journal even before he became his successor.
* BadassBoast:
** Jake gives one when facing down against the new Aesir:
-->(immediately after [[KillItWithFire crispifying two of the Aesir with a Plasma Cannon]]) "When you're a god, you have no one to pray to."
** He gives out another one when he dives after a criminal who has a jetpack:
-->"I don't need a jetpack... All I need is ''[[ThePowerOfHate hate]]''!"
* BatterUp: Jake's signature melee weapon was the Power Bat, a club with an adjustable hardness setting ranging from "rubber" to "titanium"; he never uses the lower settings.
* DeaderThanDead: One story had Jake killing one perp's ''very soul'' with MagicalParticleAccelerator so he wouldn't turn into a god upon normal death.
* {{Expy}}: Jake Gallows seemed a bit similar to [[Comicbook/JudgeDredd an earlier character co-created by Pat Mills]] when he was introduced. When he was put in charge of the Punishment Police, this identification became certain.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: While not a direct use of this trope, it is subverted in one story. The Punisher runs across a female copycat vigilante of him, who prefers to kill crooks using painful methods and weapons. The Punisher looks down on her for this, saying that he prefers clean kills and doesn't take pleasure in killing. She sneers at him because he uses lasers. According to her, lasers burn into flesh and boil the blood. The wound always go septic and the nerves rarely regrow. They may look nice in the "Holo-dramas", but they're just as nasty as what she uses.
* FightingFingerprint: Jake is fighting a supervillain villain named Hotwire, who can digitize himself to interact with electronic systems. Jake performs a PunchCatch on him, which he counters by turning his arm and ramming his elbow into Jake's face. Jake is shocked because it's a move he made up himself and there's only one other person he taught it too--his son, Dean Gallows.
* FreudianExcuse: Kron Stone claims his family never loved him, leaving a robot to care for him but never bothering to program it, causing it to default to veterinarian mode. "Do you know what it's like to be fitted with a collar, live in a kennel, and be fed on dog meat?!" "No, but I know what it's like to have your family butchered by a crazy with a sob story."
* HandCannon: Jake's main firearm is the circa-2015 manufactured Smith & Wesson .54 Magnum full-automatic [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]]. It's belt-fed and can fire 6 rounds a second
* TheJailer: The Punisher didn't kill all criminals he came in conatct with, he locked some of them in his self-made hail.
* MeaningfulName: Real name of The Punisher 2099 is Jake ''Gallows''.
* MirroredConfrontationShot: The cover of [[http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090216151709/marveldatabase/images/thumb/1/13/Comic-punisher2099-22.jpg/308px-Comic-punisher2099-22.jpg issue 22]].
* RedRightHand: Fearmaster is a literal example; his right hand is a red, three-fingered stump that can transform any body part it touches into anything. [[spoiler: [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Unfortunately, said right hand]] [[WeaksauceWeakness works on him, too…]] ]]
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Jake once tracked down a techno-shaman who had encased himself in an impenetrable force field to protect himself. Jake figured out that it still had to be able to exchange heat through the field, and fried the guy inside the force field by showering it with hot plasma.
* SarcasticConfession: A police department shrink Kerry strongly suspects that Jake Gallows is the Punisher (spoiler: he is) and barges into his home for a surprise visit/inspection/psych evaluation. When she starts questioning him, Jake confesses that he's the Punisher, and he has a bunch of criminals locked up in his basement, and he's just been down there beating one of them half to death for kicks. He even offers to show her the Punisher costume he keeps in the bedroom. Of course she brushes all this off as misplaced anger over the death of his family. Little did she know that ''every word of it was true''.
* ShoutOut: For a while Jake had a motorcycle with an artificial intelligence, which also looked very similar to the bike of [[Comicbook/JudgeDredd a certain another officer of the law in a dark future]].
* StuffedInTheFridge: [[spoiler: Fearmaster turns the Punisher’s girlfriend, Kerry, to glass. When Gallows grabs her, she then shatters completely.]]
* TakenForGranite: The Fearmaster had a whole collection of women turned to statues with his molecular engineering powers. Each of them is a different material, you know, so it doesn't get boring. Gold, diamond, that sort of thing. He calls it the "Endymion Room", after a poem by John Keats about eternal youth and beauty (more or less).
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Subverted. Kerry, an actual psychiatrist with Public Eye, deduces by the third issue that Gallows is a little ''too'' well-adjusted to his family's death. Her superiors (and Gallows, at first) simply brush her concerns off.
* {{Thoughtcrime}}: When the Punisher is made into leader of SHIELD, he has his men hunting anyone who displays criminal or otherwise negative thoughts.
* TitleByNumber: Like all the other books in the ''2099'' line.
* VillainProtagonist: Jake gradually turns into one by the end of the series.
* VirtualRealityInterrogation: Jake has captured Multi-Fractor (a.k.a. (Jigsaw 2099), the underboss of his archnemesis Fearmaster. He puts him under a nasty look contraption with various blades in an attempt to pump him for more information on Fearmaster. After Jake gets what he wants, the machine disappears. It turns out that Jake was using his virtual reality room to interrogate Multi-Fractor.
