FRANK! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!!

Here’s another reason why I had to shout, “FRANK! HOW COULD YOU!” when he reveals the reason why he joined Hydra in Secret Empire #7 that’s just been released today.
WARNING SPOILERS: Frank admits to Black Widow, who struck him down, that he joined Hydra because they offered him a big army to lead into battle to destroy all crime. And that HydraCap promised him to use the Cosmic Cube to bring his family back from the dead.
DANG IT, FRANK! You know better than that! Hydra is supposed to be your enemy! The enemy that is not to be believed or trusted in anything. Even keeping promises. Frank, you should’ve never have been so gullible and believe in all those lies and empty promises. You should have gotten smart and reject those offers. But, no! Instead you made arse of yourself by saying “Yes.” to the offers and agreed to join Hydra on a false, empty hope of seeing your family alive and leading an army to destroy all crime, which none will happen at all.
Seriously, if Frank would’ve joined the resistance movement instead of falling for Hydra’s empty promises and kissing HydraCap’s you-know-what, he would have been better off a true hero instead of a lowlife, disgraceful pawn.

Why does The Punisher play the harp?

It’s easy to imagine The Punisher shooting up criminal hideouts and blowing off the heads of thugs and mob bosses as the ultimate punishment for their crimes. But it’s hard to imagine (and believe) that there is also very gentle side to The Punisher no one knows about except for The Defenders (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist), Microchip (aka David Linus Liberman), and Spider-man (aka Peter Parker) who actually saw and became amazed at him doing something no one has ever thought he could do with his violent hands– play the harp. A gentle stringed musical instrument no one could ever believe that The Punisher would have such talent and ability to use his otherwise destructive hands to gently and tenderly pluck and caress its strings.

Indeed, it’s very hard to imagine and believe that the Punisher’s violent hands that brake bones, strangle necks, and punch out guts are the very same hands that softly and tenderly pluck, caress, and gracefully sweep across the strings of the harp.

Why does he do it, you asked? Because Frank is doing this in memory of his family whom he communes with through songs, poems, and prayers as he gracefully wave his battle-scarred arms and hands across the strings to fill his private family shrine with harp music that moves The Punisher to joyful tears.

Where did the Idea of The Punisher and his Harp come from?

It’s a concept I, Sherry Konkus made up myself. It combines my new found obsession with The Punisher that I had since 2014 and my life long love for the harp. It is the very best concept I ever made. This is my version of The Punisher from Marvel Comics who is portrayed by me as the punishing harpist who plays the harp in memory of his late family who got killed by a criminal mob years ago and whenever he needs a break from waging a one man war against organized crime.

The Punisher was created by Gerry Conway with the help of artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. His name coined by Stan Lee. The Punisher is owned and trademarked by MARVEL.

The idea, concept, and inspiration behind The Punisher’s portrayal as The Punishing Harpist who plays the harp in memory of his family is in fact my own. Sweetest. Idea. Ever.
