Create an alternate version of Frank Castle.

Create an alternate version of Frank Castle. He can be hero, anti-hero or villain.

[robreedwrites]

Frank Castle, a man in his mid-thirites, watches as his son is killed by police officers using excessive force. Angered and distraught he becomes a vigilante that targets police officers that abuse their power. His actions put him at odds, not only with the police and the superhero community, but with the criminal element that is now dealing with a police force on edge.

Frank Castle goes to Central Park with his wife and children. Nothing happens. Thirty years later, he celebrates the birth of his first grandchild. Three years after that, he is forced to give the child a time-out, thereby earning the nickname "The Punisher".

Frank Castle: Director of SHIELD
During the Vietnam War Frank comes into contact with Colonel Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos. Proving himself during the war Fury recruits Castle into SHIELD. Some time latter he witnessed Fury and the Commandos killed by a HYDRA attack. He's made director of SHIELD, angry over the death of his friend he reformed SHIELD into a much more extreme version, bringing violent war onto all criminals and villains, slaughtering all criminals that SHIELD finds. This leads him to but heads with several hero groups, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and the X-MEN, but he manages to recruit a few into his SHIELD. Wolverine and Moon Knight both join as agents. Ironically him leading SHIELD into a violent era alienated his wife and children, leading to a bitter divorce. Frank never sees his children, believing his duties as SHIELD director were more important. He continued through this life, unaware that he has everything his 616 counterpart dreamed of, a living family, and an officer position. He had everything, and yet he gave it all up.

During the Vietnam war, soldier Frank Castle volunteered for a procedure that would increase his feats, being told that this procedure helped create Captain America, After being giving the untested serum Frank acted like a killing machine and took down the enemy by groups. Many years later Frank was persuaded by his former war buddy Nick Fury (Jackson version) into becoming an assassin for SHIELD. When HYDRA started targeting potential threats from within SHIELD, they went after Frank and his family. Killing Castle's family but failling to kill him, Castle talks to Fury and finds out that HYDRA help created SHIELD. Castle's PTSD kicks in along with the serum's effects and goes off the grid and starts his own war on terror, killing HYDRA and SHIELD agents and any other terrorists, calling himself the Punisher.

I'd like to see an Old West version of Frank Castle. There needs to be an ongoing series. The character can interact on occasion with the "classic" Marvel Western heroes.

Frank Castle: Iron Man
While serving with the military convoy protecting Tony Stark, they are attacked by the terrorists the Ten Rings. Shielding Stark from an explosive device (which was Stark tech like the film), metal shrapnel is lodged in Frank's chest. Both Frank and Stark are captured, during their imprisonment Stark creates a small arch reactor to keep Frank alive. Eventually they escape with Castle wearing a combat armor created by Stark. Once they were back in the US, the two start project Iron Man, in which Stark creates more advanced battle armor (it resembled the War Machine armor) for Frank to wear as they go to war with those using Stark tech against the american people. Eventually Frank's identity as Iron Man is outed and his family is killed by the Ten Rings. Angry, Frank repaints his armor with the classic skull and slaughters the Ten Rings. Eventually he begins attacking and slaughtering all criminals, Stark is forced to don his own armor and confront his former partner. The two apparently kill each other in combat. But in actuality Frank survives, and is latter shown leading a platoon of black ops SHIELD Iron Men into battle.

Not bad, but I gotta say.............

That sounds f^$%# awesome!!




My pitch would be. Frank Castle is the son of a decorated military officer who is a casualty while on mission abroad and a mother who shortly after, dies of lung cancer and is taken in by a renowned army scientist. During World War II, due to his quick reflexes and ingenuity, his adoptive father who is involved with a special gov't project, offers Frank a chance to undergo a unique experiment turning him into a super soldier. He becomes Captain America and defeats Hydra and during the climax of the war, executes the Red Skull in a fit of rage after the Skull murders his adoptive father. Castle is tried in a military court of law and is found innocent, but his image is tarnished in the eyes of the public and the international community. He continues to work for the U.S. to help repair his reputation being a model citizen and even having a wife and a little girl. Eventually he begins working with SHIELD and it's director, Nicholas Fury.



Years after, he receives a letter from someone who claims to be his brother. He attempts to meet this person in private and he is captured by Hydra. Turns out his adoptive father never told him he had a twin brother that he could never locate. Frank's biological father had many trysts while away at war. Frank's biological mother, gave birth to two sons, but when Franks father left the foreign land at the end of the mission, she insisted one of the children stay with her. Frank's father never told him, his mother was working for the enemy(which would later become Hydra.) Frank never met his brother. Hydra leaders located this brother and made genetic modifications (including their own version of the super soldier program) to make him sound, look and talk like Frank. His brother has also been studying much of Franks mannerisms and tendencies on television, etc. Hydra plans to replace Frank. They tell Frank they have set up an intricate plan and it will start where his heart is. Frank escapes and reaches home in time to find a bloody house and two bodies, along with a video with a pre-recorded feed showing his brother sexually assaulting his wife and then brutally murdering them. Shortly after, the footage is broadcasted all over. While Frank is busy evading the authorities and trembling with fear, anger, and confusion, his brother quickly uses his likeness to gain access to Fury's quarters at SHIELD base where he murders him in cold blood. Then, he films a video confession explaining how he always had darkness in him from when he murdered the Skull and the serum and constant fighting has driven him mad. He looks at the U.S.A. and sees a hypocritical country whose leaders talk one thing and use him and the military to do the other; dirty underhanded deeds he can never wipe from his memory. He has officially denounced this country and would see it destroyed. Then he waves his arm and proudly declares HAIL HYDRA!!! With Fury dead, his second in command becomes the leader: Bucky Barnes: agent of HYDRA!!! Hydra controls SHIELD, they have their own super soldier posing as Captain America, and Frank Castle is on the run. With his world torn asunder and everything he's ever loved taken away, he doesn't know what to do. He's almost completely broken.


Drinking away his time, in a secret hideaway, he is confronted by an old friend, Danny Rand aka The Iron Fist! Danny confronts Frank and they reminisce about the time when Frank ran into Danny and his school during one his missions that lead him into a jungle in Asia. Danny says he can look into Frank's spirit and see he did not do these terrible things. He offers to take him back to his school to train him to overcome what he has suffered. During training, Frank finds the darkness in his soul but learns to not let it overtake him, but to use it to help fuel his newfound quest for justice. Before returning to the U.S., he stops off at the African nation of Wakanda and is assisted by T'Challa, the Black Panther who gives him weaponry, some stealth tech, and armor made of vibranium. T'Challa remembers his adventures with Mr Castle defeating various Wakandian rebel warlords as well as a potential coup by his sister as diplomatic gestures from the U.S. T'Challa says he would like to help more, but his hands are tied due to diplomatic laws and such.


Upon returning stateside, Frank has learned through his one contact in SHIELD he still trusts(Sharon Carter), that HYDRA has been using Shield as a cover to attack and plunder resources and special tech from other countries by first using a proxy terrorist group to steal the resources and then using Shield and his brother as Captain A to 'reclaim' them. Frank reaches out to an old trusted friend from Harlem to set him up with a cool set of wheels and a base for his arsenal. This genius mechanic goes by the name of Luke Cage. Luke tells Frank he will get him what he needs, but he doesn't approve of what he plans to do. He tells Frank if he does this, he can never again don the mantle of Captain America. Franks says he knows, it's not about that, it's about removing his brother and Hydra for good. Bucky informed Hydra leadership of Carter's longstanding connection to Frank and had a monitoring implant put in her head without her knowledge. Once Hydra finds out Frank is back stateside, they use a third party agent to approach the Kingpin of Crime, Wilson Fisk, and wish to pay him handsomely in money and even a seat on the senate if he instructs all the gangs of the city under his control to assassinate Frank Castle on site. Frank learns of the bounty on his head from a new recruit in Shield, who goes way back with Luke Cage, Sam Wilson.



Frank now believes he can't make his mission only personal, he still has to find a way to embody the spirit of Captain America, so he says to himself, he will fight against the injustices done by all criminals, not just Hydra. As Frank is drinking beer and watching a Spawn episode on HBO, he snarks out loud to Luke, "This cartoon seems weird as hell, dark for no reason, but I gotta say, I do like the ink on that Chapel fella's face. ****, that might even make a good symbol." Later, he recollects back to a fond memory of one day when he told his little girl he would punish her by spanking her. "You've never spanked me daddy, not a day in your life!" He recalls her saying. "You can't punish me, you love me too much, ha! I'm gonna start calling you the Punisher!" she said with a smile and then laughed showing off her angelic appearance. Frank spray paints his new armor with the symbol of a skull face and says to himself while a tear drops from his eye, "little girl, this is for you." Thus, the Punisher was born. This was the story of the beginning, of a man who had it all and lost it all only to find a greater mission. With his band of colleagues. Against Hydra. Against the living symbol of his country. Against the mob, the crooked cops and the politicians. Against the greedy CEO's. And, against the darkness within himself.......the battle of the Punisher BEGINS!!!!!


Man for real, PROPS to anyone who reads this entire post! I can't believe I actually just typed all that.

[SymbioteCastle]

This is my first thread and all I can say is wow. Wonderful work to all. As for the Iron Man Idea I found this earlier today.

[Darth Phoenix]

Frank Castle as Ghost Rider ...there will be Vengenace...let him fly a flaming Apache helicopter.

[Of Atlantis]

Frank Castle as Ghost Rider ...there will be Vengenace...let him fly a flaming Apache helicopter.

Was going to say this. Frank Castle would be a relentless Ghost Rider. Would probably be difficult to tell who's in control half the time.
