For those of you who are not familiar with the character, the Punisher debuted in a Marvel comic book series in the 1970s. Heâs a real bad-ass who rights wrongs, delivering vigilante justice. A movie by the same name had just come out; the Punisher wore a shirt with a stylized white skull.
According to the Punisher movie, his son tells him the icon is a sign to ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer. From there he adopts it as his logo because he honors his son and uses it as a protection sign.
