About the game
Frank Castle was a former Marine just trying to pick up a normal life with the family he loved. But when that family was murdered, Frank swore to avenge them by punishing those who hurt the innocent. Proficient in close quarters combat, a trained marksman, and an explosives expert, Frank now stalks the mean streets delivering his own brand of personal justice as the Punisher. When Anthony Masters injected himself with an experimental serum designed to unlock the brain’s procedural memory potential, he gained the ability to instantly replicate the physical movement of anyone he saw. Using these photographic reflexes, Masters took on the name Taskmaster and became a mercenary, selling his skills to the highest bidder. Thanks to his Mnemonic Memory, Taskmaster is able to memorize, utilize, and predict the attacks of any opponent, turning their own physical abilities against them.
