RUMOR: Will it be Marc or Matt?

Aug 27, 2017

Just came out in The Punisher news. Rumors has just started to go around that there’s going to be another Marvel Hero that will be making his appearance in Netflix’s The Punisher.

So earlier today, I was at my country’s annual Asia Pop Comic-Con where they held a Marvel presentation titled Hall M – more on that here. In that presentation, they featured footage from upcoming MCU properties such as Inhumans and Thor: Ragnarok. During the Punisher segment of the presentation, our distinguished host C.B. Cebulski who happens to be Senior Vice President of Creator and Content Development at Marvel) dropped an interesting tidbit about Frank’s debut show. While praising Jeph Loeb‘s oversight over Marvel TV’s success with the Netflix shows, C.B. stated offhandedly in verbatim that “another Marvel hero may be showing up [in the Punisher],” a comment that a handful of the audience gasped at.

Everyone loves a good rumor like that. Leaving us to speculate who will be appearing in the show alongside Frank. The one who’s being speculated by fans the most is Marc Spector (aka Moon Knight). Marvel’s answer to Batman with a touch of The Joker. Now this is a soldier who served in the US military and worked for the CIA for many years. But then he became a mercenary and headed to Africa where he does some dirty work for pay. He then suffered a huge attack by an enemy and was left for dead in the Sahara Desert. Marc regains conscience and finds himself crawling in the desert to find help only to encounter an ancient Egyptian temple in honor of the moon god Khonsu, who granted him the power to become Moon Knight, a crime fighting vigilante with powers deriving from the moon.

He's a lot like Batman with a touch of The Joker. — He’s a lot like Batman with a touch of The Joker.

Marc teamed up with Frank in many comics. Both are respectful soldiers who took different paths to become who they are. Perhaps Marc would like to hear some harp music being played by Frank if he doesn’t mind listening to soothing harp music that’ll help him ease his troubled mind, which is being possessed by Khonshu, leading Marc to harbor many different personalities to help cope with this supernatural torment.
Here’s another guess I’m making is to who will appear in the upcoming Punisher show. Good ol’ Matt Murdock who encountered The Punisher in Daredevil Season 2 and got his world shaken to the core by him.
Perhaps there will be a few scene flashbacks from Daredevil Season 2 where Frank gives out his beautiful touching speech at the cemetery in front of Matt. Will we also see the epic prison fight scene or the courtroom scene where Frank loses it in front of everyone and then was brought back into the courtroom in the most epic way?
I think I’ll go along with everybody else and say that Marc will be the one appearing in Punisher. Otherwise who knows who will be appearing in The Punisher? The only way for us to find out whether we see Matt or Marc (most likely) in the show is to watch The Punisher on Netflix this coming November.

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.
