Chapter 1 The Punisher

It has been 2 weeks since the creation of the Justice League and the end of the invasion that created it. For two weeks the world had been resting easy since with seven of the worlds greatest super heroes working together meant all the problems of the world would be stopped.

Idiots.

In the eyes of one person they weren't real heroes. All they did was lock up the bad guys who would eventually and inevitably get out and kill more innocent people for money, power or for pure amusement.

One person had stood by and watched as these criminals ran loose while the so called heroes of the world did nothing but just do the same thing over and over again.

No more.

Today the criminal society would come to fear one who would show no mercy.

He would be judge, Jury and executioner.

In Gotham

In a local warehouse a group of armed and dangerous people were manufacturing and producing high level weapons to sell on the street.

The person in charge of this operation? Black Mask.

"How much longer till we're ready to start selling these toys?" Black Mask asked one of his Lieutenants.

"About a day at most boss. The Batman will have his hands full dealing with punks with guns like this." The Lieutenant said making him chuckle.

Outside the warehouse a guard stood watch.

However as he turned to the left he failed to notice someone walking to him with a combat knife in hand before the guard was grabbed by the mouth and his throat slit making him groan before he was dropped. The person took his card and used it to enter the warehouse.

Inside the room was full of workers manufacturing hundreds of weapons before the power was shut off.

"The fuck? What happened to the power?" Black Mask asked in confusion before he looked outside his office and then.

All hell broke loose as gun fire was seen killing his workers and soldiers making him growl.

"Who is screwing with me!" Black Mask yelled in rage before grabbing his pistol and ran outside his office just as the gunfire stopped. Looking around he found the power switch and turned it on turning the lights back on and widened his eyes in shock. All his workers and soldiers were dead. Not a single one left alive. Bullet holes in all of them with near perfect accuracy.

Suddenly however someone grabbed Black Mask by the neck and held him in a head lock while pointing a gun at his head.

"I'm only gonna ask once. Where did you get the parts to make these guns?"

"Piss off." Black Mask replied only to scream as his arm was twisted.

"TALK!

"Ok look I swear the parts came from Metropolis! Some guys from Intergang gave us the parts. We sell them on the streets and they get half the profit. God please let go! I'm telling you the truth!" Black Mask pleaded.

"I believe you."

Bang!

The gun fired right in his head spraying his brains everywhere.

"One down."

An hour later

Gotham Police arrived at the scene moving dead bodies and investigating the weapons.

"Jeez. Looks like a freaking war zone here." Bullock said seeing all the blood everywhere.

"Whoever did this means business." Commissioner Gordon said before turning around seeing the dark knight behind them.

"What happened here?" Batman asked.

"No idea. We got a tip from someone that this place had been hit an hour ago. Judging from the amount of bodies and bullets we're dealing with a professional here." Gordon said as Batman took a look at the dead body of Black Mask.

"Any leads?" Batman asked.

"None. All the bullets are custom made. No hair no blood no nothing. This guy does not mess around." Gordon said.

"Where ever this guy is he's probably long gone by now." Bullock said making Batman frown.

Later

"Everyone was killed?" Wonder Woman asked in surprise.

"Yes, whoever did this has training and patience not to mention great accuracy. My guess is probably military or ex-military." Batman said.

"Oh yeah defiantly military. Probably Ex-Marines." John Stewart the Green Lantern said being a former Marine himself before he became the second Human Green Lantern like Hal Jordon.

"Think something happened to make him snap like this?" Hawkgirl asked.

"More than likely. Or he just can't stand to see criminals walk free and decided to do something about it." Batman said.

"Either way we need to stop him and try to get through to him before he makes a mistake he'll regret." Superman said.

"I hacked into Black Masks computers. The parts he got to make those guns came from Metropolis from Intergang." Batman said.

"Bruno." Superman said with a frown.

"So he'll most likely go right after him." Wonder Woman said.

Meanwhile

Bruno the leader of Intergang was completely paralyzed by fear more so then he ever felt when he was working for Darkseid so many years ago.

"Please just take what you want and go!" Bruno yelled in fear as a man hacked into his computer on secret hide outs and other important things.

"Shut up." As he got what he needed up pulled out his gun and aimed at his face making him whimper before he pulled the trigger and killed him before leaving.

Superman quickly flew in and looked at the scene and sighed.

"I didn't make it in time. He's dead." Superman said on the comms.

"So are you."

Superman turned and saw the man with a gun aimed at him before firing and Superman widened his eyes feeling pain in his stomach and looked down seeing blood.

"Kryptonite." Superman said before the man walked into the light and the person was revealed. He wore black combat boots black combat pants with a couple of side arms on each leg. A black shirt shirt with a skull in the center a black leather jacket with three spikes on each shoulder and spiked gloves and wore a mask with the same skull on the front with black shades on.

"Who are you?" Superman asked before the man stabbed him in the shoulder making him grunt in pain.

"Call me...The Punisher." The punisher said before kicking him back. "This is your only warning. Stay out of my way. This is not your fight anymore. I'm done letting you get innocent people killed just so you can look like a hero. You're no hero. You're an accomplice to scum like them. All you do is lock them away but they get out and you start over again and again. No more. I will give them what you will not. True justice." Punisher said before he slammed the butt of his gun into his face knocking him out.

Later

Superman woke up with a groan. He looked around seeing he was in the medical bay on the watch tower.

"Finally awake." Hawkgirl said walking in with Batman and Flash.

"Ugh. I'ver never actually been shot by a Kryptonite bullet. This guy knows whats he's doing." Superman said rubbing his wound.

"The Punisher? This isn't the first time he's done something like this." Batman said.

"How do you know him?" Flash asked.

"He's been in Gotham before. A man by the name of Jigsaw was trying to take over all the territories. I tried to stop him alone but to no success. Then thats when I met him. He was after him for some time. We had a very uneasy alliance back then. But I knew if he wasn't stopped Gotham would be a war-zone. We stopped Jigsaw but he got away. As much as I hate to say it I understand his methods. He lost everything years ago. He lost everything at one point in his life. And he doesn't want anyone to go through the same thing." Batman said.

"Sounds like you respect him." Superman said.

"Somewhat. It takes someone with serious conviction to do what he does. My advice? Stay away from him. If he could injure you once he can do it again and next time you won't be so lucky." Batman said.

"Can't do that. He killed Bruno and others. I have to stop him. He won't be so lucky next time." Superman said.

Meanwhile

The Punisher was looking over a chart of targets before crossing off Black Mask and Bruno.

Looking over his shoulder he spotted a woman with White skin Light blue hair and blue eyes in a blue unitard. (Basically her Assault on Arkham version)

"Louise." Punisher said before she wrapped her arms around him.

"So we're ready to begin?" Louise asked.

"I'm sick and tired of watching innocent people die at the hands of criminals. I have no issues with Batman since I understand his morals after our time fighting side by side and grew to respect him. Flash he doesn't have the killing instinct in him but at least manages to keep his city far more safe than others despite it being overrun by Mete-Humans. The others like Lantern, Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman and this Martian I don't know...But hopefully they will see things my way." Punisher said.

Authors Note: The Judge, Jury and executioner has arrived. Let the might of the Punisher be unleashed.
