Who Would’ve Thought The Punisher Could Inspire So Many Puns
Frank Castle might not have super powers, but the folks over at ADHD gave him a very suitable one: The ability of dropping silly puns… non-stop. The puns in Age of Ultron have nothing on this. These are so bad they’ve gone past good and back to bad again. But they all fit The Punisher…

Using various mods, allmhuran built a pretty neat drivable mech from MechWarrior in Kerbal Space Program. Yes, dropships included.
