>>94828904>it just proves how shit the heroes are No it doesn't. It proves that MU humans are basically all the guys from Crossed, just without the outward signs. Consider the following:
A quick search online reveals that Castle's official kill count is apparently 48,502. That's what 0.5 percent of the city population. And that's not even very outlandish with what's shown in the comics; he's been operating for 20 years or so and seemingly kills criminals literally every single night on top of bombing large meetings of them.
So statistically speaking everyone in New York knows someone the Punisher has killed. Plenty of people double up on that one I'm sure. But statistically speaking, a person has met, encountered, knows someone who has died as a result of, or in fact themselves BEEN SHOT BY THE PUNISHER.
In real life, there are about 300 gangs in New York, and 600 in Chicago. New York's gang population isn't given where I'm looking, but Chicago's is at 70,000, so that'd imply around 35,000 gangsters in New York. Even assuming a hefty number of those kills are not local crime, he's easily killed the equivalent of every single gang member in New York City. This is not counting anyone he may have discouraged from even joining by his mere presence.
Frank Castle, by the time he was too old to continue, would have killed every gang in New York several times by the time he was done. This is one person. There are also several hundred other people with varying degrees of mercy and superpower that fight crime in New York
There are also police.
WHAT THE FUCK IS SO ATTRACTIVE ABOUT CRIME IN THIS GODDAM CITY?
