In all the time I’d spent playing, this was the first time I’d gotten a new character. Furthermore, it was a non-crappy character. I could have gotten Black Panther or Daredevil or Cable. But I got The Punisher. I even know who The Punisher is from the goofy Thomas Jane movie, the more grimly goofy Ray Stevenson sequel, and the straight-up grim YouTube short.

So when I killed Sabertooth — I have no idea who Sabertooth is — and my eye was drawn to that purple text in the cluster of drops, I was thrilled to read the words “The Punisher”.

I foolishly fought Taskmaster — I also have no idea who he is — on my own rather than waiting for a party.
