In a bit of bad news for you superhero fans, Forbes.com<\/a> writes that the creator of “The Punisher” wants to restrict the use of the image and not allow cops and fringe groups to wear it.<\/p>\n

The Creator Of \u2018The Punisher\u2019 Wants To Reclaim The Iconic Skull From Police And Fringe Admirers<\/a><\/h4>\n

Police and military personnel have adopted the Marvel character The Punisher\u2019s iconic skull as a symbol of force in recent years\u2014but the character\u2019s creator, Gerry Conway, told\u00a0Forbes<\/em>\u00a0that the character was never meant to symbolize oppression, and he now hopes to reshape The Punisher for this moment in history.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You may recall that US Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle wore the symbol quite frequently.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One could even make a case that the symbol was associated with Kyle.\u00a0 It even appeared in the film “American Sniper” which was about Chris Kyle.<\/p>\n

Police officers, other military, Fox News host\u00a0Sean Hannity\u00a0and some believers of the\u00a0QAnon\u00a0conspiracy theory also became fans, and some law enforcement officers were\u00a0spotted\u00a0wearing\u00a0the logo at the recent protests sparked by George Floyd\u2019s death\u2014but Conway says their usage of the logo enrages and embarrasses him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is not clear if the military would be prohibited from wearing it.\u00a0 I guess one could always have it on a t-shirt that is covered up.<\/p>\n

So, for many of you that may be wondering – your Punisher-themed UnderRoos may be safe for now.<\/p>\n
