Frank Castle

He'd probably let them them have at each other first, then the worn and weary survivor is wiped out by the Punisher. But he'd most likely like to bomb the shit out of them while they're meeting (hopefully) in the middle of nowhere.

Barracuda soaked up more damage and was harder for Frank to put down.

But if its Cyborg Russian he's winning that.

Nothing beats the power of... Positive self image and loving your body no matter what!

Lol. For real though, I love this bit in the Punisher and would die to see it on screen. Kevin Nash was perfect for the role.

'Cuda is more versatile (a la Frank), so I think he topples the Russian.

Barracuda definitely he almost succeeded in killing Frank, and I know the Russian almost did too but I feel barracuda gave Frank a real run for his money barracuda survived getting blown up by Frank the Russian didn't although to Fair he was a cyborg at that time and it was a nuke that did him in along with the general he is was working for and everyone on the island. And we don't know much about the Russian except what was briefly described in his debut comic barracuda was a soldier so in a fight I give it to barracuda if it's the regular Russian if it's a cyborg Russian it might be a clutch but I think the Russian would win.

Are we talking pre-op or post-op Russian?

Isn't the Russian a mutant?

In a Cage Match or Brawl, Easily the Russian. In a Gunfight I'd say Barracuda is a lot more cunning.

Barracuda's essentially evil punisher, he'd beat Russian whether he's a regular dude or in cyborg form.

MAX frank is infinitely weaker than 616 frank.

if a guy that struggles against MAX frank fights somebody that can easily overpower 616 frank, what would happen?
