8 Greatest Punisher Crossover Stories

Deadpool vs The Punisher is a confrontation decades in the making. Both men have a questionable sense of morality, both accept contracts to murder criminals, and each man has an astronomical body count. As two of the deadliest characters in comic history, they managed to make the world a better place, using a few grenades and some bullets.

In 2017, writer Fred Van Lente decided to see what would happen if these two forces of nature collided. The comic starts with Castle in pursuit of a criminal. The criminal in question is a man known as “The Bank”, who is a big-time money launderer, in charge of large amounts of money made in illegal deals. He also happens to be Wade Wilson’s accountant, a fact that put Deadpool directly in Punisher’s sights.

In an attempt to protect his accountant, Deadpool goes right after Castle, and their bloody battle begins. The two engage in an all-out war that puts their various skills to the test. They fight to a stalemate.

Eventually, the two stop fighting and join forces to take down The Bank, after Deadpool figures out that their mothers have the same name. No, we are not joking.
