What does The Punisher mean?

Answer 1

The Punisher's Skull has the same meaning as the common symbol of a skull- it means death, pain, suffering, ect. It represents the Punisher's violent and brutal treatment of criminals, and it's a symbol meant to strike fear into their hearts. It also doubles as functional, because the bright white is meant to draw enemy fire to the most armored part of his uniform, and the "teeth" of the skull are often portrayed as being part of his belt which contains additional ammo for his weaponry.
