I wish this could be AP and Durability revisions too, but I unfortunately don't think I'd get the specific explosion tanking feats from this movie looked at in time. I'll just do what I know I can do for now

For this revision thread, I will be taking from three sources. The Punisher (2004), The Punisher (2004) [novelization], and Punisher: Countdown. The last one is a comic that takes place before the movie, which you could get with early DVD purchases. Lets get into it


Abilities
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (Given his past as a marine and delta force member, Frank is incredibly proficient with firearms and knives. He can easily disarm and counter close-quarters opponents as well as accurately shoot specific body parts or environmental hazards. Has displayed proficiency in the use of compound bows), Martial Arts (Received martial arts training as a marine and delta force member), Vehicular Mastery (Has proficiently driven both cars and motorcycles), Stealth Mastery (Infiltrated a bank, making it to one of the highest floors unnoticed. Snuck a claymore between stacks of laundered money on a speedboat. Quickly and quietly snuck up on a gang member who was already walking meters away from his position. Stealthily killed a guard, timing his attack with a corkpop), Social Influencing (Manipulated Howard into killing his own subordinates. Made Jimmy Weeks take his own life), Preparation (Modified his car with defensive armour. Installed several hidden weapon compartments into his apartment room. After learning of Livia's routine, Frank placed a fire hydrant next to her car to get her ticketed, which would be used as "evidence" against her), Explosion Manipulation (Has access to explosive weaponry), Enhanced Senses (Sensed a gunman silently sneaking up on him and his father. While in close proximity to flames from an explosion and with his back turned, he was implied to have heard a whisper from John Saint over 50 feet away. Carries night-vision goggles), Sound Manipulation (Can access to a device that alters his voice over phone calls), Limited Fire Manipulation (Via blowtorch)

Intelligence
Gifted (Frank Castle has an incredibly impressive history as a combatant, with his skills remaining as sharp as ever. He formerly served as a Marine and a Major in the Delta Force, noted as having fought in the Desert Shield during the Gulf War. As a result of his training, Frank is well-versed in covert operations and knows several ways to kill a person. Speaks six languages. Due to how applicable his skills were, Jimmy convinced Frank to work with the FBI. As an FBI agent, Castle spent 11 years working in undercover cases and was eventually given a job as London's FBI liaison. Has often come out on top against groups brandishing firearms by himself, both in close-quarters and ranged combat. Castle is also a very cunning strategist. In order to exact revenge on Howard Saint, he gathered intel on his insecurities and the lives of those close to him. As his plan unfolded, Howard would end up killing his best friend and wife, completely convinced they had an affair behind his back entirely off of cleverly placed evidence from the Punisher. Has excellent foresight regarding his placement of traps and how his targets will act. Formed his skull logo out of the flames with strategically placed magnetic mines in a parking lot. Worked on 1969 Pontiac GTO, getting it into good condition and integrating bulletproof sheets to pull over the windows)
