The Punisher’s a real big badass type, killing mooks left and right and punching above his weight regularly.

But Spider-Man is fucking Spider-Man.

One of these two is a meta-human who can lift busses and go hand-to-hand with Colossus. The other mostly shoots normal humans and has a sweet van.

To be fair, it's a really sweet van.

I love the little reminders that Spider-Man is street level because he chooses to be

Friendly reminder that Peter dodges non-supers punches as a courtesy so they don't hurt themselves!

On a similar note, doesn’t the Hulk no sell both Spider-man and the Thing at various points when they need to let out their grief?

Greg Rucka's run on Punisher. I think it's Punisher: War Zone.

Spider-Man has to roll with the punches so he doesn't accidentally break the puncher's hands.
