That was really more of a dis to cops than a complement for the Punisher really.
I suppose so. We can at least agree that it was stupid.

I agree. What originally drew me to Wolverine when I was young was that whole struggle, that he wanted to be a better man but his situations or his enemies wouldn't let him. He would try to fight the rage, try to a "samurai". But as he grew more popular and as violence went from taboo to selling point in comics, he abandoned that crusade, and IMO became more one note. But that's just my take.
The best summary of Wolverine I've ever read still comes from some random poster at WIZARDWORLD in 2000-2001 and I wish I could remember his handle and quote him properly. "I used to love Wolverine; he was such a great character. But then he became popular, and it ruined him." While he was already popular when I was coming of age, I tend to agree.
Punisher, you could say, is Wolverine only without the powers, less of the positive moments and influences, and without the perks. Or at least that is how both stand now. OLD MAN LOGAN could have been OLD MAN CASTLE with fewer rewrites than one would think.
She was the wife of a mobster. Thats about it from what i remember.
It always seems that alternate timelines in the MU are there just so they can get away with killing some heroes(i.e. Days of Future Past)Sure, he manages to kill all the X-Men at the same time.
No. She co-ran the mob for her husband, secretly calling most of the shots behind his back. Also, she personally tortured and killed a teenage boy for dating her teenage daughter. She was a shining beacon of innocence.
A major theme of the Punisher is that he NEVER kills or harms civilians. That would be incredibly hypocritical of him, after what happened to his own family.
Check your facts.
