When Tony Stark aka Superior Iron Man's bounty system mutates into a decentralized intergalactic network of sanctioned slaughter, the world collapses into chaos, its streets ruled by killers feeding on endless blood money. Into this maelstrom steps Frank Castle, a dishonorably discharged war addict who no longer hides his lust for violence. After Killmonger assassinates T’Challa and begins distributing Wakandan tech across the globe, Punisher tracks some weapons dealers to Jakarta and acquires custom black and red battle armor, its crimson skull projected outward as a holographic symbol of terror. The suit’s arsenal includes stolen teleportation tech, allowing him to carve a bloody path across borders and turn the entire world into his personal battleground. He tests it first by massacring the black market that armed him, then sets his sights on the assassins and mercenaries who thrived under the bounty system, cutting them down with sadistic precision. His campaign becomes a grotesque mirror of the predators he despises, each kill dragging him deeper into psychotic joy. But vengeance finally consumes him and he falls in battle, only to awaken in fire and torment as the Ghost Rider, his eyes burning with something glimpsed in death but never revealed. His rampage draws the attention of Galactus, who offers him the Power Cosmic in exchange for servitude. Frank accepts, twisting the gift into a curse, and rises as the Cosmic Ghost Rider.
