    More like a spree killer than a serial killer, as a serial killer would tend to kill one at a time and the Punisher usually kills multiples at a time.

    Honestly, this seems to fit the earlier takes on the character. He was a vigilante who focused on perceived corruption in the health care industry, threatening violence on pharmaceutical CEOs and the like.

    we'll see what happens to him. maybe it's a clone. or whatever. maybe he'll be more "centrist" in his next appearance. Or not.
    wish he was in some team like the Defenders or that "doctors only" clique of folks.

    I recently read the Black Cat miniseries from the 90s and in that comic, Cardiac tried to blow pharmaceutical company building because of its illegal activities and had to be stopped by Spider-Man and Black Cat who reminded him innocent people worked there and later on she had to remind him not to kill some cyborgs that had been captured and roboticized against their will.

    Still this does seem more sinister than what he'd usually do.

    Yeah, and his original motivation for vigilantism was discovering that a medicine that could have saved his dead brother's life was deliberately withheld from the public until it could yield a bigger profit on the market for the pharmaceutical company that made and sold it, and even worse, that it was legal for that pharmaceutical company to do so. In light of all the critiques and condemnations of "Big Pharma" and the medical industry's shady practices and manipulation of laws and lawmakers in more recent years, one could say Cardiac was ahead of his time.

    Thanks for the refresher, though I do agree taking hostages usually isn't his style or speed.
