The Banisher is an amalgam character of Bane and The Punisher.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Given that the Marvel has a lengthy history of re-inventing its villains and heroes via clever plot devices (i.e. alternate universe #5285), it shouldn't come as a surprise that some fans came up with The Punisher - a cross-breed that could use all the brute force of Bane while nominally still on team 'Good Guys' by virtue of being a stupidly edgy anti-hero.
Though the Banisher originally was a fan creation and/or a glorified meme, Marvel itself quietly acknowledged his existence. Well, in a footnote. In a spin-off comic. But he still broke Batman's back, and this is 110% canon.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The Banisher fought in 8chanmania LXIV. His first match against Yakuza veteran Daisaku Kuze veritably was exactly what he wanted, but he still lost to Fumi Kanno in the round.
