PunishMob Go

As Poke’mon Go continues to sweep the world, Frank gets caught in the huge worldwide craze. He downloaded the app on his smartphone and tried to play it. It took awhile but he got into a hang of it. And soon, he was catching some good Poke’mon to train and battle other players with. But then it hit him. This game’s game play is a lot like what he does. Going around hunting down one mobster after another. But instead of capturing the mobster, Frank kills him so he won’t hurt innocent people again. This inspired Frank to invent a game of his own he calls “PunishMob Go” a reality-style game he doesn’t have to download an app on his smartphone to play. He doesn’t have to worry about server errors, bugs, or crashes, either.
To play the game, all he has to do is download large rhino bullets into his automatic weapon of choice, which is usually the M-60, sharpen his knives, fill his ball-shaped grenades with heavy amounts of liquid nitrogen explosives, and load up his M1911 pistols. Then, Frank puts on his bulletproof armor chest plate bearing his iconic skull emblem. He then takes his utility belt and shoulder pads, fills them up with all the accessories, snacks, grenades, gas bombs, and ammo that he needs to reload his guns, and puts them on. When he’s ready, Frank goes off to play a game of “PunishMob Go” where he enters the bad parts of town to hunt, battle, and punish crooks and mobsters wherever he finds them. And the only people Frank trains for battle against other “players” in this game is no other than Frank, himself.

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.
