History YMMV / ThePunisher2099

* CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Darryl "Fearmaster" King]], when not ordering the demolition of inhabited neighborhoods and overseeing experimentation on the downtrodden as a part of his day job as a senior executive of [[MegaCorp Alchemax Corporation,]] Fearmaster acts as [[TheDon the head of the Cyber-Nostra]], and uses his transformative powers on innocent women, disfiguring some and turning others into [[TakenForGranite decorative statues]] for his amusement. While he also used his abilities to revitalize those who attended his [[ChurchOfHappyology church]], he had the rejuvenations be only temporary so that his congregation would become addicted to them and give him anything in exchange for them, including sex. Fearmaster's contempt for everyone around him also extended to his own allies; when the criminals that the Punisher had locked in his basement begged Fearmaster to let them out, the latter ignored them, and referred to the prospect of them all starving to death as a "bonus".

* CompleteMonster: [[ArchEnemy Darryl "Fearmaster" King]] juggles being a CorruptCorporateExecutive, TheDon, a SerialKiller, and a SinisterMinister.

* CrazyAwesome: A frequent occurance, an example being when an evil shaman claims that death will allow him to ascend to Godhood. The Punisher sabotages this by dramatically feeding the man to a particle accelerator, which will supposedly incinerate his spirit.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Some readers criticized the book because, compared with 2099's takes on Spider-Man or Ghost Rider, Punisher 2099 really wasn't that distinct from the mainstream Punisher, apart from more high-tech weaponry and maybe a bigger focus on the class dynamics of the 2099 world.

* CompleteMonster: The new Punisher's ArchEnemy is Darryl King, a SuperVillain known as "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Fearmaster]]" who juggles being a CorruptCorporateExecutive, TheDon, a SerialKiller, and a SinisterMinister. When not ordering the demolition of inhabited neighborhoods and overseeing [[TestedOnHumans experimentation]] on the downtrodden as a part of his day job as a member of [[MegaCorp Alchemax]], he acted as the head of the [[TheMafia Cyber-Nostra]], and used his transformative powers on innocent women, disfiguring some and turning others (such as the Punisher's fiance, Kerry) into decorative [[TakenForGranite statues]] for his amusement. And while he also used his abilities to [[HealingHands revitalize]] those who attended his [[ChurchOfHappyology church]], he had the rejuvenations be only temporary so that his congregation would become addicted to them and give him anything in exchange for them, including sex. His contempt for everyone around him also extended to his own allies; when the criminals that the Punisher had locked in his basement begged Fearmaster to let them out, Fearmaster ignored them, and referred to the prospect of them all starving to death as a "bonus".

* CompleteMonster: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Fearmaster]], real name Darryl King, Punisher's ArchEnemy, is also a [[TheDon mob boss]]; {{cult}} leader; [[CorruptCorporateExecutive tycoon]]; and a SerialKiller in his spare time. Fearmaster had his hand genetically altered and now has the power to transform living issue into anything he wants. He kidnaps young women and [[TakenForGranite transforms them into statues]], keeping them on display in his personal hall. We first see him turning a young woman's leg into solid bone so that she could not escape him. Fearmaster sends his minion [[TheDragon Multi-Fractor]] to clear a slum populated by poor people so he can build condos, not caring if they die in the process. Fearmaster is also involved in the [[MegaCorp Alchemax]] program to mutate and perform [[TestedOnHumans medical experiments on poor people]]. Fearmaster begins to think [[LawEnforcementInc Public Eye]] psychologist Kerry Dowenn may know who Punisher really is; Kerry is romantically involved with Punisher and is reading a file with his real name on it, when Fearmaster confronts her. Kerry manages to delete the file and Fearmaster kills her in frustration. Fearmaster eventually discovers that Punisher is really Public Eye officer Jake Gallows. Fearmaster confronts Gallows and discovers Gallows has a makeshift prison where he keeps some of the criminals he has tangled with. The prisoners ask Fearmaster to release them, but Fearmaster thinks its [[ForTheEvulz amusing]] to let them starve to death.
* DesignatedEvil: After Jake becomes director of SHIELD, he eventually employs technology designed to track thoughts to detect malicious intent, so they can stop crimes before they happened. This is treated as a sign of how far Jake has gone over the edge, and it is the kind of thing you'd see in a lot of dystopia fiction. The problem is, the only times we see it being used are on people who were very clearly about to commit murder. Instead of coming off as a horrible device that will cause people to be arrested for having nasty thoughts, it instead comes off as an effective way to prevent serious crimes.
* SoBadItsGood: They combined ''The Punisher'' with ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' and made it as over-the-top gritty as possible.
