I know the punisher only from the TV shows. But there, he fights bad guys and somewhat avoids harming the good ones, in a few instances even protecting them, right? So no, not at all like that, more like the opposite in all aspects. Lawful evil vs. lawless good. With “lawful” including everything government / society approved, such as war crimes, crimes against inconvenient protesters etc.
it’s not so much who the punisher attacks, but the why.
he punishes the unpunishable. Judges, politicians, police, etc. he knows he’s a vigilante and doesn’t want to be praised or worshipped. he’s a self aware villain that’s a symptom of a flawed and unbalanced system. he can’t stand it when police emulate or idolize him because they are supposed to be the “good guys”.
so the punisher, but IRL.
