Artifact Overview

The "Punisher" skull motif originated with the fictional Marvel Comics character Frank G. Castle. A highly skilled veteran, Castle seeks to avenge the death of his family and fight crime. The skull was adopted by military personnel in the 2000s, followed by pro-police groups, white-supremacists and far-right political groups. The skull motif has been modified with Trump's iconic swooping hairstyle.
