Despite Frank Castle’s historical hate for the police and the American government, his white skull logo has changed meaning in popular culture, becoming a symbol of pro-police and pro-military support. With the symbol now officially adopted by an ideology directly opposed to Frank Castle’s, The Punisher's skull would be misused by police in St. Louis, building towards America’s 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. While The Punisher is getting his symbol back as of 2025, it goes without saying that stories will take care to make the true message of Frank Castle's skull too clear to misinterpret any longer.
