Captain America: Civil War - 11 Things From The Original Story They Can't Show You
3. The Punisher's Massive Role
Seeing some of the questionable choices being made, Spider-Man becomes conflicted about his decision to blindly back Iron Man. Renouncing his Pro Registration side, he takes off and is tracked down by two super villains who are now working for Stark, Jester and Jack-O-Lantern. They brutally beat him until The Punisher makes a surprise appearance and takes the baddies out, whisking Spidey to safety at Cap's new HQ. The Punisher lets it be known that, due to Stark recruiting thieves and murderers, hell be fighting on the side of Captain America. Naturally, the heroes are conflicted to have a man who they regard as a serial killer in their ranks but Cap eventually recruits him and they prove a very capable team, with Frank successfully infiltrating the Baxter Building to get information on where Stark has imprisoned captured rebels. Naturally, because hes Frank friggin Castle, it all goes to hell in a hand-basket when Frank guns down Goldbug and Plunderer, two villains who represent the super-criminal community and offer the help of their peers. This may not be a shock to you, but he did so by murdering the two unarmed crooks right in front of Cap and his cohorts. Despite subsequently being given an almighty beat-down by Rogers, Frank refuses to raise a hand against a fellow soldier. It would be incredible to see The Punisher throw his black and white morality into the mix but the Civil War movie wont have Jon Bernthal dishing his finite brand of justice alongside the others, if only because of TV rights.
