I really don’t get it. I realize this is likely a me thing. I’ve never read any his comics. He doesn’t have any powers. He just shoots people. I think he shoots only bad guys, right? Seeing people get what they deserve is nice but you could also do that with a robot mech suit or giant green imaginary weapons or laser beams from your eyes. I could go on. He wears all black, so he’s emo, and shoots people. I just don’t get it.

      There’s even a scene in the comics where Frank is stop-and-frisked by some cops. Once they realize who he is, the cops let him go, saying they’re a big fan of his work.

      That has Frank going on a tirade about how they shouldn’t be cops if they’re fans of his work; He exists specifically to take down cops like them. His entire family is dead, and the killers walked free because of dirty cops.
