Marvel has made many iconic characters in their time, but none are as edgy as The Punisher (other than Spawn). Regardless, with the skull-bearing psycho's new live-action series and successful movie franchise, they're beginning to be a bit... Possessive.





Learning from Daddy Disney's footsteps, Marvel has decided to ​sue over someone's use of The Punisher logo. So much for the good guys.

Despite how subjectively dumb the main character's haircut looks in the new Netflix series, Marvel has decided to crack down on motorcycle parts and merchandise with logos resembling The Punisher, specifically HTT Group.





Marvel goes on to list all of the parts that are under scrutiny " grab rails, handlebar grips, handlebar riser, horn cover, kickstand, lamp clamp, lowering links, luggage rack, mirror block off base plates, fitted motorcycle cover, radiator grille guard cover, saddlebag bracket, seats, sissy bar, backrest, stator cover, stay bracket, switching housing cover, and windscreen.” Yes, they read off every little part and, yes, I did use that as a quote.





Loyalty Bound LLC of Texas is being looked at for merchandise like beverage can cozies and American Sniper products. The problem is, The Punisher's logo is a fairly universal logo: it's a skull. What, are they going to sue Blizzard for Reaper's face in Overwatch? Sue every pirate series for their skulls against a black background? Sue every real-life pirate for using their intellectual property? Yeah, I didn't think so.
