actually based off of what the original writers wrote ghost riders stare works on anyone even the most innocent its strength depends on how many sins and how much pain they have under there belt. in punishers case its plot armor cause its not about regret, now this comic could be different I never read it

The main fuel for the Penance Stare is the Fear and Guilt of the crimes they’ve committed. Frank had no guilt and zero fear.

The ghost rider is a spirit of vengeance. Castle is the human personification of vengeance.

I was thinking the same thing. Castle is a human doing pretty much the same thing as the spirit of vengeance and can’t be affected by default.

Actually, since Daredevil's blind, he would be immune to the Penance Stare too.

Ah, the Penance Stare. 30 percent of the time, it works every time.

feel like the penance stare is the absolute equalizer for truly bad guys

The Penance Stare has been shown to work on remorseless criminals repeatedly including who straight up enjoy what they can do and it cannot differentiate right from wrong and people think is right. This claim that it requires the Regret to be effective almost always comes from a popular instance of rhe Penance Stare failing against Punisher and was said to be a massive outlier and that should be ignored. It's likely that either the Punisher was squeaky clean and had not harmed any innocents because the writers messed it up and didn't do their own research.

It won’t work if you are blind, don’t have a soul to be punished, are a masochrist, or is just innocent. **Black heart**: was instead powered by the stare. **Venom**:Ghost rider was instead overwhelmed by venoms deeds. **Punisher**: in thunderbolts #29. **Carnage**: again, it didn’t work, carnage laughed at the stare, It doesn’t seem to work on aliens, which would explain thanos. **Conan**: again, a symbiote

I seem to recal that it was later explained that Punisher had an angle feather or something like that in his back pocket and that's what saved him.

Frank Castle The Punisher doesn't Target innocent people

Maybe the experience is awful, but it also educates Frank on the pain he inflicted on people he feels truly deserved death. It might oddly just be a powerful reinforcement of his character and choices to Punish thinking of the agony of the Stare and what he is doing to others.

This is entirely false. Frank is not immune to the penance stare. The only time it didn't work is because Deadpool put an angel feather on him. He basically had divine protection. The penance stare does not work on the divine. We saw later the penance stare works on Frank. It also would not actually work on Galactus. That was strictly for the cartoon. While Galactus does feel sorry for the lives he must take he is a necessary cosmic force of nature. The penance stare also does work on ppl who regret nothing. We have seen it on panel. A serial killer who killed 45 ppl had no regrets whatsoever and couldn't wait to get out of prison so he could continue got penance stared and it did its usual effect. Remorse is not necessary for it to work

@FrancisCastiglione the rider whomever it is at the time controls the intensity

Because the Punisher is doing Gods work

I think the best explanation short of plot armor is who Ghost Rider was working with at the time and a line Doctor Strange uttered about Ghost Rider vs. Worldbreaker Hulk. Doctor Strange said Ghost Rider avenges and protects the innocent, and that was why Ghost Rider wouldn't take on Hulk at the time, because the people Ghost Rider would have to defend from Hulk were *not* innocent in Strange's own words. Hulk was avenging the wrongs committed on him by the Illuminati of Marvel Comics. Fast Forward to the incident Punisher was hit with the Penance Stare in question. As some pointed out, he had a plot-device in his back pocket to help, but further, Ghost Rider was trying to defend the Thunderbolts, particularly General Ross/Red Hulk, who again, was not an innocent man since he did literally try to murder Punisher before Ghost Rider fought him. And one thing not discussed is the time Ghost Rider literally vaporized an angel with the stare (unintentionally) just because the angel tried to lie to him about the nature of his powers. I conclude it's less the feather, and more that Frank was protected by the fact that he was actually the *more* innocent party than the person the Rider was trying to avenge. But the feather did definitely play a role as it was shown Frank is not entirely immune to the stare without one.

I would love references for the specific comics you put on screen so I could go read 'em

Frank is righteous in his mission.

The penance stare is just like the truth in full metal Alchemist

Frank IS Penance...

It SUCKS that Marvel Comics has basically DELETED the Frank Castle Punisher as we know him! 💀💀🤬🤬

@@pnut3844able Because some so called "PROGRESSIVE" current day Marvel Comics writers who support Gun Control & Identity Politics decided that Frank Castle was RACIST for killing BOTH Black & White gangsters.. & that he used GUNS to do it.. in the last Frank Castle Punisher series they made Castle the leader of the Hand ..who fought ONLY with swords..then at the end of the series they had his previously dead wife come back & not only DIVORCE him... she sold off ALL his hideouts & weapon supplies..& donated the money to charity.. Then after Castle dies ..he wakes up in the Weird World dimension & I forget the rest. Btw the reason that Marvel Comics gave for eliminating the character was that TOO MANY members of the military & law enforcement wore the Punisher skull symbol on their uniforms during the DEFUND THE POLICE era a few years ago.. I believe that they've launched a NEW "Punisher" character who is NOT Frank Castle.. but I doubt it's going to last.

@@pnut3844able well… he joined the hand (ninja clan daredevil fights), renounced his use of guns(used swords after this), became an avatar for the god the hand worships (gained powers from this), his wife was resurrected by the hand but she was horrified by what frank became and everything he has been doing since her death, and then finally he banished to an alternate dimension by other street level marvel heroes because he became too much of a problem, but he’s technically still out there. I really hate this story.

It seems to me that the Stare should *not* affect Galactus. He is literally a force of nature that the universe has as a way to tidy up; morals don't seem to be an issue for him, as he's just doing what he was created to do. Not sure that the concept of "guilt" has any real meaning for him. As for Punisher - While he might very well see what he does as a "necessary evil," evil done in the name of God is still evil; killing criminals instead of incapacitating them and hauling them in is still murder, no matter how vile they are. Feels like plot armor to me.

Because if it worked for Frank it would work on the ghost rider too.

How would Spawn react to the penance stare?

Frank doesn't kill the innocent.

You just got a new subscriber brother.

Spot on actually

Why doesn't the penance stare affect the Punisher? 1) He's already in Hell 2) You're only showing him a collection of his Greatest Hits

Good take on it.

Cause his Soul died with his family, or atleast that’s my interpretation.

Short answer: He's not.

he isn't, it worked on him in a later story and the penance stare doesn't even work like that. Short answer, plot armor.

I also think that the Ghost Rider powers only work on people that feel guilty but hide it. Doesn’t really punish them for their sins.

The old saying goes "When innocent blood is spilled" then the Ghost Rider gets summoned well u can bet your grandmas house the Punisher may spill blood but it aint no innocent blood the Punisher will not kill any innocent he actually protects them when need be

It didn’t work on World War Hulk even as he leveled NYC. NOT because Hulk is powerful but because Hulk was right.

Because they gimped GR a long time ago.

Penance stare just makes people relive their worst moments they regret, punisher doesn’t regret shit, courtroom scene in daredevil is the perfect example of how punisher feels about his actions

For the penance stare to work. U have to have guilt and have harmed an innocent. Ad have a soul.

Under the premise given for it to work; The Penance Stare wouldn't work on millions of people.. A sociopath generally doesn't feel remorse for the people whom they hurt or kill, hence the stare wouldn't affect them one bit. So I would just call this plot armor..

When did GhostRider and Conan meet ?

Great video

Maybe Frank doesn't have any guilt to begin with. Maybe he KNOWS that he doesn't hurt innocents directly. In the Corman movie with Dolph Lundgren, he spoke to God all the time trying to reason out his war on criminals. Maybe the Ghost Rider is limited to spiritual boundaries and his victims MUST be consciencless KILLERS or perps who DON'T have a grasp of care or belief. Frank being a Catholic, and a believer would understand that there's right and wrong. That gives him a conscience, and a conviction that taking out the bad-guys ACTUALLY saves INNOCENTS, which would limit Ghostriders penance stare. He's bound by laws of spituality, which The Punisher ISN'T, because he's working against spiritual EVIL, despite being a KILLER.

Because he is out of fucks to give..

Plot armor

The Penance Stare is Hell's timeout corner of pain Because the Ghost Rider isn't angry he's just disappointed and he wants you to know what you've done and it to hurt a lot. but under the Penance Stare the Ghost Rider forces you relive the pain and misery you inflicted on others throughout your entire life. no indiscretions no matter how minor is safe from the Ghost Rider's Gaze. But should your sins so numerous and terrible. The Penance Stare can obliterate your soul leaving you nothing more than a empty husk.

He feels no guilt.

Because the plot is shitty???

Because vengeance belongs to The Lord God Almighty and therefore the punisher is technically an Angel of The Lord
