20 comic book characters who would challenge John Wick

8. The Punisher

Frank Castle isn’t a mercenary, but he’d go after John Wick. After seeing all the chaos he’s causing, The Punisher would feel the need to step in and stop things before more innocent people were killed. Granted, Wick doesn’t like collateral damage. We’ve seen him stop fighting because there were kids in the area. The problem is The Punisher won’t see it like that. All he’s going to see is the fact that innocent people were dying – intentional or not.

Much like the “Martha” scene in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, both Wick and Frank would find a common ground and fight together because both of their families were taken from them. For a short time anyway. But what happens after that?

Punisher wins 3 out of 10 fights

Frank Castle is ruthless and an incredible planner – one of the more underrated ones in comics. If it was up to The Punisher, he’d blow up the hallowed ground the minute John Wick walked in the building. Problem solved.

However, that’s not how it would go after their truce. Wick would try and reason with The Punisher. We know that’s not going to work, so after that, it would become a shoot out. If it stays that way, Punisher wins. The flaw in this, however, is that bullets eventually run out. John Wick never stops and he’s a better fighter. Frank won’t go down easy, but he would go down.
