I just arrived to work today when suddenly, News Flash! Punisher to make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by appearing in next year’s Season 2 of Daredevil, a highly acclaimed show from Netflix! Oh, how I am happy and overjoyed to hear the news! No more gloom and especially that dreaded god Doctor Doom and his despicable BattleWorld fantasy planet! It’s official! Jon Bernthal, the actor who played Shane Walsh from The Walking Dead, will be playing the part of Marvel Universe’s deadliest vigilante, The Punisher who’s going to harp his way (no pun intended) into blowing up and killing every criminal infesting Hell’s Kitchen where Daredevil makes his presence known.

Netflix’s “Daredevil” series will add another major Marvel vigilante to its ranks in its second season: The Punisher, as played by “The Walking Dead” alum Jon Bernthal. Here’s Marvel Television’s official description of The Punisher: “a vigilante who aims to clean up New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen by any means necessary, no matter how lethal the results.”

….
“Jon Bernthal brings an unmatched intensity to every role he takes on, with a potent blend of power, motivation and vulnerability that will connect with audiences,” Marvel Head of Television Jeph Loeb said in the announcement on Marvel.com. “Castle’s appearance will bring dramatic changes to the world of Matt Murdock and nothing will be the same.”

This’ll be an incredible sight to see when Daredevil debuts on Netflix in 2016. Daredevil and Punisher going head to head in a vicious battle over who’s ways of fighting crime is better? Frank’s or Matt’s?

Sherry is the one who came up with the idea of portraying The Punisher from Marvel Comics as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family who was killed by the mob years ago.

About the author

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
