"We were, uh... we were far from perfect, but when I remember her, it's like all the shitty stuff, it fades away, you know."

- Frank Castle to Micro

Maria Elizabeth Castle was the wife of Frank Castle.

Meeting Frank Castle
"It was at a... At a park on a sunny day, you know? I was there with my guitar. I'm sitting under the tree like a... Like a derelict. You know? Trying to learn this this new song. I'm struggling, you know? Struggling away with it. I'm even... I'm singing out loud like an asshole, you know? And then I see her. She smiled at me. Yeah. Oh, I was done, man. She... Oh... She... she had me. She says to me, "Hey, buddy, you, uh, you know anything else? Because we're sick of hearing you butcher this one." That's what she said, you know? I... I go beet red, you know? And I look up, and I see this gang of her friends. And they're all laughing their asses off."

- Frank Castle to Micro

While at the park with her friends, Maria heard Frank Castle trying to play a song on his guitar. However, Castle was so bad that Maria eventually went up to him and asked him to play a different song. A smitten Castle then flirtatiously said to her that he did not do request. Soon after the two began a relationship.

First Pregnancy
"I was with Maria for three months when she got pregnant with Lisa. She said that she was not giving her up. Didn't wanna raise her alone, but she understood if I didn't wanna hang around. I asked her to marry me that day. Now I had friends who said I was crazy, that I'd lost my mind. But we were together ever since."

- Frank Castle to Micro

Three months into their relationship, Maria became pregnant with their first child. While not wanting to give the child up and wanting to raise her with Castle, she told him she understood if Castle did not want to be in the child's life. Frank, however, on the contrary then asked her to marry him that same day much to the chagrin of many of his friends but Frank declared to him that he loved Maria and the two soon after that got married.

Second Pregnancy
"Yeah, we did 15-month rotations in Afghanistan. You leave, you got a pregnant wife. You come back, the kid, he's... he's walking, you know. He sees you for the first time, starts to scream. He's got no idea who you are."

- Frank Castle to Micro

While Frank was on another tour in Afghanistan, Maria became pregnant with their second child a boy this time.

Death


"We knew exactly where you'd be. Exactly where to go to get you. You bored your squad shitless talking about your homecoming tradition. Picnic in the park, Frank? You really were your mama's little apple pie, weren't you?"

- Carson Wolf to Frank Castle
