6. The Punisher Revenge-Kills Every Marvel Hero, And Himself
In 1995, Garth Ennis wrote The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe. Therein, Ennis imagined a what if? world where Frank Castles family were killed due to getting caught in superhero crossfire rather than gangland mobster warfare. When Cyclops of the X-Men offered a half-arsed apology, Castle snapped and shot him in the head from point-blank range. This sent Castle on a revenge spiral, as he committed himself to hunting down and killing every superhero in existence. Spider-Man is next to take a bullet, with The Punisher explaining that someone had to go first just after blowing his brains out. He gathered a load of mutants on the moon before nuking them all. He kills all the supervillains, too. Franks saves Daredevil for last. He peeks under the mask after the fact and realises that the red-suited superhero was none other than his good friend, Matt Murdock. Realising that theres just one more person that deserves to die, Frank turns his gun on himself and commits suicide. You dont need me to tell you why the MCU wont adapt this storyline. For starters, there wouldn't be an MCU left afterwards.
