17
18	-> ''"The horror , the '''''unspeakable fucking cruelty''''' just keeps happening -- and nothing gets done about it, they just keep on getting away with it... And it makes me want to not '''''be''''' a social worker anymore, it makes me want to '''''burn the world clean''''' like an '''''angel with a fiery sword'''''...! But there are no angels are there?"''
19
20	A liberal activist and social worker, who is currently investigating the Eastern European sex slavery trade, and begrudgingly helps Castle go after the Romanian gang behind the operation.
21
22	----
23	* ButtMonkey: A very dark example. The poor woman genuinely means well, but her luck just ''never'' lets up, and unlike the typical butt-monkey, it's not just she that suffers, but the desperate and helpless victims of society she tries to help.
24	* CanonImmigrant: Along with Microchip and Fury, she's one of the few characters from the main Marvel universe to appear in the ''MAX'' series. She originally appeared in ''The Man Down Below'' story arc, which seems to have taken place here as well, as Jen mentions "that thing in the subway" when Frank runs into her.
25	* ItsAllMyFault: Her well-meaning but inexperienced advice got Viorica's baby murdered.
26	* MotorMouth: Being a comic series, it's unclear how fast she talks, but Frank describes her as someone who never shuts up.

32
33	-> '''Debut''': ''The Punisher: The Tyger''
34
35	One of Frank's old neighborhood friends and something of a big brother surrogate. He's also a U.S. Marine and older brother of one Frank's closest friends, Lauren.
36
37	----
38	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is a genuinely nice guy who loves his family, likes Frank and approves of Frank's close friendship with his sister. Harm his loved ones in any way and no power on Earth can protect you from his wrath, as Vincent Rosa finds out the hard way.
39	* BigBrotherInstinct: A downplayed example, that is until he learns what Vincent Rosa [[RapeAsDrama did to his sister]]. Then this trope is in ''full effect''.
40	* BigBrotherMentor: Towards a young Frank Castle. In fact he was partly responsible for the reason Frank decided to join the Marines later in his life.
41	* DeathSeeker: It's theorized by Frank that he may have developed into this after his sister's death. Which would explain why he continued going back for numerous tours of duty in the Vietnam War until he was eventually killed in action.
42	* PosthumousCharacter: Like many of the characters from Frank's old life, he's already been dead for years before the main series begins.
43	* SemperFi: At the time of the story, he's an enlisted member of the Marine Corps.

51
52	A girl belonging to Frank's "''past life,''" as well as his closest and quite possibly most meaningful childhood friend.
53
54	----
55	* DrivenToSuicide: Following her traumatic rape at the hands of Vincent Rosa, she decides to slit her wrist while in the bathtub. Much to her family's horror.
56	* GirlNextDoor: Her wholesome appearance and personality gives off this vibe.
57	* NiceGirl: Easily one of the nicest characters in a series that is otherwise known for [[CrapsackWorld shady]] or [[AxCrazy morally depraved individuals]].
58	* PosthumousCharacter: Sadly, she's already long dead before the main series begins.
59	* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: By far one of the sweetest and most innocent characters in the entire series. Lacking any form of angst or moral baggage. So naturally it doesn't end well for her...

72
73	----
74	* DeathByOriginStory: Just like her mainstream incarnation. Here she is killed off during the retelling of Frank's origin.
75	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde and by far and of the few characters that could be considered a "''good person''"
76	* MoralityPet: She served as this to her husband Frank. Which would explain why he went off the deep as badly as he did when she was killed.
77	* SacrificialLamb: Just like her mainstream counterpart, she exist so that her death could serve as catalyst for her husband's descent into vengeance induced rage.

108
109	The father of Frank Castle. An Italian-American who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, where he fought against the Japanese at Iwo Jima. For the bravery he showed during his service to his country, he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Sadly, he passed away on the day that Frank considered enlisting in the Marines, years before the series officially begins.
110
111	----
112	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: He shows an alarming amount of callousness towards rape victims, stating that they "should learn to keep they're legs closed". His wife immediately calls him out on this. Though he then explains to her that he and four other men tried to do something about it, but the serial rapist is the son of the local mafia boss, whose answer to their accusations was breaking the fingers of one of them [[ForcedToWatch while his lackeys surrounded the others.]]
113	* PosthumousCharacter: Like the rest of Frank's family, he's long dead before the series begins.
114	* SemperFi: Just like his son, he too was a Marine, with the difference being that he fought in the Pacific Theater of [=WW2=]. Specifically in Iwo Jima against the Japanese.

133
134	-> '''Debut''': ''ComicBook/ThePunisherTheEnd''
135
136	A conman from Syracuse who was placed in D-Block of Sing Sing. When World War Three breaks out, Paris and a few other inmates (including the Punisher) took shelter in a bunker beneath the prison. After a year went by, Paris and the Punisher left the bunker, and venture out to what remains of New York.
137	----
138	* AlliterativeName: This being a Marvel book, it's only natural that he would have one.
139	* AudienceSurrogate: His every-man qualities make him an obvious example.
140	* WhamLine: "How does a small-time con-artist end up in D-Block?" [[spoiler:By setting fire to some empty buildings for an insurance scam, and the fire spreading out of control and burning a dozen children alive.]]

148	--> ''"My name is Oswald. Not Hemo. Oswald."''
149
150	Son of big time Mob boss Chris Angelone and eventually successor to the Angelone family.
151	----
152	* BoomHeadshot: He [[spoiler:finishes off his old man with a magnum round to the cranium.]] Much to the delight and shock of Barracuda.
153	* HandCannon: Despite his scrawny build, he picks up and uses [[spoiler:a badass Smith & Wesson Model 500 to blow a hole through his dads head.]]
154	* MoralityChain: He serves as one to ''Barracuda'' of all people.
155	* NerdGlasses: He has a very typical nerdy appearance thanks to his thick glasses that cover almost half of his face.
156	* NiceToTheWaiter: Disapproves of how rude Barracuda is to the stewardess on their flight.
157	* OlderThanTheyLook: Would you believe that this scrawny little geek is actually ''twenty years old''. Even 'Cuda seems surprised by this revelation.
158	* RedOniBlueOni: The meek, sensitive blue to Barracuda's brash and voracious red.
159	* SelfMadeOrphan: Near the very end of the miniseries. While aboard a helicopter, [[spoiler:after his father Chris Angelone, has learned of Barracuda's betrayal, he plans on killing 'Cuda on the spot only for little Oswald to blow a hole through his head with a S&W Magnum. Thus usurping him as the head of the Angelone family. It's indicated that he did so largely because Chris attacked a place he was in with little regard for his safety.]]
160	* WeaksauceWeakness: He's a hemophiliac, meaning that he'll die instantly if he gets as much as a paper cut. Or as Barracuda crudely assess: ''"bleed to death if he play with his dick to hard"''.

163	[[folder:Wanda Lube]]
164	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wanda_lube_earth_200111.jpg]]
165	-> '''Debut''': ''ComicBook/ThePunisherPresentsBarracuda'' #2
166
167	A former hardcore porn star and the wife of Leopoldo Luna.
168	----
169	* AwfulWeddedLife: She's married to a man who won't even touch her unless she dresses like Che Guevara, and has [[ReallyGetsAround banged every member of the staff]] to relieve her boredom.
170	* FakeBoobs: Wanda, being a former porn actress, has a comical set of fake tits, that she likely got to invoke BuxomBeautyStandard. In fact, they're so much plastic that she gets a bullet right through them and ''[[BoobBasedGag doesn't even bleed from the wound]]''.
171	* PornNames: Wanda ''Lube'' is certainly not her real name, but that's the name she's known by.
172	* UncertainDoom: While it's heavily implied Barracuda cannibalized her to survive when they end up stranded at sea, it isn't shown.
