In a surprise hand to hand or handguns only type fight... I'd say John Wick has the advantage.


In an open conflict where they are basically at war... Punisher has just a lot more going for him.

I might have to agree with this. Given time to prepare, Punisher has managed to back down some genuine Big Bads. He managed to get over on Doctor Doom one time. Doom would have slaughtered him in a straight up fight, but Castle stole a painting of Doom's mother and used it as a shield to hold Doom at bay long enough to negotiate a ceasefire in exchange for the portrait. We have not seen that level of resourcefulness from Wick.

The problem with comic books is 1) they can get so over the top as to be tarded and 2) there are different story lines that make it hard to gauge abilities. The most consistent and realistic punisher is probably netflix.

Frank Wins, Bigly.

Member that time he murdered the planet?

Member that time he killed the X-men, Dr. Doom, The Hulk, Spiderman, and everyone else?

Frank is like Batman, but without the money and questionable relationship with children.

Also, you don't see very many recurring Punisher villains.

tie but both beat up.

Then in their exhaustion they realize they are the same, and have the same enemies. They then combine forces to destroy evil crime lords...together...in the same movie. I can't even imagine. matthew mcconaughey is comic relief helicopter pilot that transports them around and bails them out once or twice.

Electricity kills Sniktbub.
It's almost like writers overlooked physical abilities and wrote what they wanted yo happen.

The Punisher blew up all of the other X-Men and most of the major X-Men villains in a giant nuclear explosion on the moon. He then attacked Wolverine whilst he was drunk from drowning his sorrows after losing most of his friends. During their fight he stabbed Wolverine in the throat with a knife and in the chest with Wolverine's own claws and threw him into an electrical generator. Wolverine's claws pierced the generator and Wolverine was electrocuted until he basically melted down to just his skeleton.

In some stories that wouldn't be enough to kill him. In some it is. This is obviously the latter.


That's not how the real world that these characters are fighting in operates. Punishe can't just nuke Wick.

In this debate there is plausible and stupid fiction. It's like hitting heads in a coin toss ten for ten. One side makes it seem like it happened. The other side thinks Boba Fett could defeat Vader

Punisher MAX series would be the best comparison. Minimal superhero/ability interaction with lots of fighting and violence. I think MAX Frank could take Wick but he'd get fucked up in the process. Frank has exhibited a greater propensity for dirty tricks and explosives than Wick and I believe that would ultimately be the deciding factor. Not nuke level or anything, but C4 or IED level.

If you watch the Punisher movie Thomas Jane (?) has shit gun handling and technique compared to Keanu. Not even fucking close. Not. Even. Close.

I think most votes will be based on the cult following of either character.  I don't follow comics at all so from a shooters perspective Wick all day every day.
