And because he was Boomer Thanos, it didn't work

Then he was killed by the Scourge of the Underworld

Then he was cloned by Nazi Scientist Arnim Zola

Then he was killed by Deadpool

Then he was brought back to life by The Hood to kill the Punisher

Now the Punisher became a ninja, got divorced, his ex-wife stole all his money and he's moved to Weirdworld to fight monsters and now there's a slightly different guy who's wearing a slightly different skull and uses lasers instead of bullets

comic books, folks!
