The Character: Vietnam vet Frank Castle has killed more than 4,000 people during his tour of duty in his own personal war against crime.
He started out killing crooks to avenge his family, who were gunned down by gangsters, but we reckon he carried on because he enjoys the smell of shotgun smoke.
Most Violent Moment: So many to choose from, but his epic Marvel Max scrap with psycho hitman Barracuda is up there.
Pit Frank against a villain so deranged he hums and sings after having his eye gouged out and his fingers cut off and there will be blood.
If It Was Filmed: To be fair, Punisher War Zone is one of the most violent films ever made. Sadly, it’s also one of the shittest.
But if Barracuda had been thrown into the mix, we probably would never have to suffer through it, as the censors would go into so many apoplectic seizures, the thing would never have made it out of the certification booth.

Judge Dredd is my favourite comic book character but I'd rate Slaine as more violent .

Did you ignore every single character from 'The Boys'? Even Wee Hughie has a more violent history than some of these choices! The Homelander is an all powerful psychopath who destroys passenger jets for fun, drops competition winners out of the sky and cannabalises ordinary humans! Plus imagine what Butcher is going to do to him when they finally duke it out, there won't be enough scarlet ink in the world!

Yep, I'd definitely say Michonne. But for most violent moment I'd say in #6 where she actually tortures the hell out of the Governor. Hello, she nails his d*ck to a board!! I'm female and even I crossed my legs at that page... *shudders*

Well seeing as a lot of movies are being made these days from comics, it makes sense for people of all ages to discuss and critique said comics, as well as movies. p.s I'm pretty sure even 14 year olds could spell the word "aren't" correctly. :)

Seem to remember "Marshal Law' being pretty violent, surprised that a film hasn't been made about him.

I thought this was Total Film? What's up with the videogame news and articles about comics?

@cleanbreak Have to agree, a Marshall Law film would be excellent.

Regarding #11, Midnighter. There is a huuge factual error. The Carrier is 50 miles (80 km) long, 35 miles (56 km) high and two miles (3 km) wide. Go on, check it out. "50 feet" my @$$...
