Punisher's Vest

"That skull? That's a memento mori. It's Latin for "Remember, you will die"."

- Micro to Frank Castle

Punisher's Vest is a Bulletproof Vest used by the Punisher.

First Vest
Colonel Ray Schoonover kept secret military-grade arsenal in his cabin, including special Bulletproof Vest. Killing Schoonover, Frank Castle eventually found a secret room that contained Schoonover's arsenal. As Castle began looking over the various weapons closely, he looked at the vest, noticing that the design on the front resembled a skull.

Castle returned to his family's home with Schoonover's arsenal before finding newspaper featuring an article on his trial, with the x-ray of his skull as the front image. Using this image as inspiration, Castle went into the garage with the vest he found in the armory and began spray painting an image onto it. Castle, donning his bulletproof vest with a spray painted skull-like symbol, embraced the mantle of the Punisher. With his new uniform and logo on his bulletproof vest, Castle returned to New York City to assist Daredevil in his confrontation with the Hand. Later, he wear his vest before burning his old home and leaving Hell's Kitchen to continue to punish crime the only way he saw fit. Punisher continued to hunt and kill all of the gangs who had been responsible for killing his family. Wearing vest, Castle headed to Alabama, El Paso and JFK International Airport to execute the last members of Dogs of Hell, Mexican Cartel and Kitchen Irish. With seemingly all the gangs destroyed, Castle believed that his family had finally been avenged once and for all. Believing that he no longer had a war to fight for, Castle burned his vest and began a new life.

Second Vest
Prepared for the assault on Micro's Hideout, Castle designed a new bulletproof vest with skull-like symbol. When Anvil agents infiltrated into the hideout, they was ambushed by the Punisher. Castle proceeded to kill many agents but was shot by one of them, surviving due to his vest.

Orgainized ambush on Billy Russo, Castle used his vest and take a sniping position directed at Curtis Hoyle's apartment. Deciding to end it where it all began, the two agreed to meet at the Central Park at midnight. Castle, in his vest, headed out to the park to confront with Russo.
