Biography
"Hey, Castle. Smile. No? All right. A little before and after, you know? Something for the scrapbook. Five million bucks. That's a lot of overtime, Frank. It'd save the system the trouble of putting you on trial. Not to mention the fact that you killed my cousin."

- O'Rourke to Frank Castle

Together with his cousin, O'Rourke worked for the Kitchen Irish. However, his cousin, as well as all other members of the Kitchen Irish, was eluminated by the Punisher. O'Rourke managed to survive Castle's anti-criminal crusade and later joined the New York City Police Department. He kept his hatred to Castle, vowing to revenge his cousin. Months later, O'Rourke learned that someone put out a reward $5,000,000 on Castle's head. Also, he learned that Castle was arrested after the Ambush at the Valhalla and brought to Sacred Saints Hospital. Realizing that he has a perfect chance to kill Castle, O'Rourke arrived to the hospital where he replaced Lawrence who guarded Castle's room. Approaching defenseless Castle, O'Rourke took a picture of him, informing him that he came to revenge his died cousin and take his reward. O'Rourke then asked Castle about any last words but instead, Castle just put his arm, allowing him to poison him. O'Rourke was surprised but then prepared to do his job before he was confronted by Amy Bendix. Enraged O'Rourke grabbed Bendix and attempted to choke her to death, despite Castle's pleas to let her go. However, Bendix was saved by Dinah Madani who arrived to Castle's room and knocked O'Rourke down. Realizing that Castle is insecure even in hospital under NYPD watch, Madani and Karen Page decided to take Castle away. Castle disguised himself with O'Rourke's uniform while O'Rourke himself was put at stretcher. While Page turned on a fire alarm, Bendix took a stretcher with unconscious O'Rourke out of room, making it looks like that she drives Castle. Brett Mahoney and Smith then found O'Rourke and figured that Castle escaped.
