What happened to Punisher?
In the comics, first Punisher ends up becoming basically a full-on bad guy and taking over The Hand.
Some shit happens (I don't remember exactly what), but they end the character off by revealing that his wife is still alive, and has been alive this whole time. She hates Frank's guts, divorces him, and takes him for anything he's worth, going on a long emasculating diatribe about what a terrible person he is, she never really loved him, and other dumb shit like that.
It was essentially the activists posing as cominc writers intentionally undoing, denigrating, and overall shitting on anything & everything Punisher ever did or stood for...as well as was a thinly-veiled "fuck you" to the fans who loved the character.
