Double Edge
Frank Castle, the vigilante known as the Punisher, surrenders to authorities and is sent to a maximum-security facility with a S.H.I.E.L.D. escort. Psychiatrist Doc Samson tries to cure Castle’s obsessive hatred of criminals by using psychoactive drugs and regression therapy; however, this process was sabotaged by a corrupt government agent known as the Spook, causing Castle to believe that Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had killed his family. The two fight against each other over the next series of days. First, the Punisher baits Nick Fury into a trap by luring him with his son, Mikel Fury. Fury then retailed with a strategic air strike on the Punisher, but failed due to the Hulk’s intervening. Eventually, the Punisher hunts down and kills Fury. The shock of Fury’s death, coupled with hero Ghost Rider’s penance stare, was enough to undo the Spook’s brainwashing. Nick Fury’s death is mourned across the nation at his burial at Arlington Cemetery.
The Punisher was then sentenced to death by electrocution, but was covertly rescued by crime lord Don Geraci who arranged to have his electric chair rigged to merely stun. Years later, it would be revealed the Fury that the Punisher had "killed" was revealed to be a highly advanced Life Model Decoy android.
