I'm not sure what comic it's specifically from but the character on the left is Punisher and the one on the right is Moon Knight. Both "heroes" but people who often test the limits of that designation. Punisher is filled with rage and hate and vengeance. Moon Knight is similar but is also objectively insane. Not the Deadpool level of silly but similar levels of unhinged.

Thanks. That was enough to uncover this trail.

The Punisher is the very definition of an anti-hero. The last name on his list is his own. He understands that he literally shouldn't exist, but has to because society has, at the upper echelons, become so corrupt that only an immortal and nearly invulnerable being could possibly try to take them down.

Regardless, Frank Castle views himself as part of the problem, and will absolutely execute himself as soon as there are no more corrupt rich people or politicians in his world.

Edit: I know basically nothing about Moon Knight. I kinda look at him as a Deadpool type character. Insignificant enough that one can completely ignore him, but he just keeps popping up for some reason, mostly because he can swear from what I can tell, and yes, this applies to both Moon Kinght, and Deadpool.

He's immortal? I thought he was only a regular cop.

They probably mistyped "immoral".

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

That would have made more sense than the actual answer.

No he's not immortal, I was saying his view is that he has to do it, cause no one else will, and in his view you'd have to be immortal, invulnerable, or in his case crazy to do it
