Captain America may hate the Punisher, but if Age of Ultron had gone a little differently, Frank Castle wouldn't have just claimed his mantle, but succeeded in ways Steve Rogers never did.
In an alternate timeline introduced to fans in Marvel Comics’ What If…? saga, fans had the chance to meet Marvel’s best Captain America, a character who would have disgusted Steve Rogers to his core. Captain America is a symbol of hope and unity for not just the United States but for the entire world.
In What If? Age of Ultron #4 by Joe Keatinge, Piotr Kowalski, and Neil Edwards, Steve Rogers was killed back in the ‘40s when he went into the ice, and the modern day Avengers sadly unfroze nothing more than his corpse. Needing a hero to replace Rogers and give the nation hope once more, the Illuminati decide to choose Steve’s replacement. Like Steve Rogers, their choice was a war veteran who proved himself to be a skilled fighter and a sworn enemy of crime and evil doers.
The idea that Frank Castle of all people is a better Captain America than Steve Rogers would greatly disturb Steve as he is disgusted by the Punisher’s method of crime fighting. Rogers makes his position against the Punisher clear in Civil War #6 when Captain America beats the Punisher senseless after Frank abruptly kills a group of villains who just wanted to be allies.
The fact that the Punisher just kills criminals and doesn’t give them the chance for justice repulses Steve, so the idea of the Punisher being the superior Captain America would be a hurtful mental blow to say the least. From being physically stronger and arguably equally as skilled in wartime combat to uniting the country like never before, the Punisher proved himself to be Marvel Comics’ best Captain America, a fact that would disgust Steve Rogers to his core. .
