What If?... Peter Parker Became The Punisher #1

In an alternate reality, Peter Parker finds himself grappling with grief and guilt following the tragic death of his Uncle Ben. The weight of his powers feels more like a curse than a gift as he struggles to come to terms with the consequences of his inaction—a criminal that he allowed to slip away eventually causes irreparable harm to his family. Fueled by a desperate desire for justice, Peter's journey takes a dark turn.

As he sheds his web-slinging persona, Peter embraces the relentless philosophy of the Punisher. He becomes a vigilante out for blood, channeling his grief into a relentless pursuit of justice against those who prey on the innocent. The lines between good and evil blur as he adopts lethal tactics, bringing him into conflict with unlikely allies and dangerous foes who threaten to expose his new identity.

This transformation serves not only to explore the depths of Peter’s character but also to pose profound questions about morality, vengeance, and the true meaning of power. Each choice he makes wrestles with the core tenets of his upbringing, leading him down a path where he must confront not only external enemies but also his inner demons.
