The butterfly effect is the idea that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon.

You could not remove a single grain of sand from its place without thereby changing something throughout all parts of the immeasurable whole.

A word unspoken.

A feeling towards something never discovered.

An apology never delivered.

It could change everything and anything all at once.

Now if you had the chance to change something you regretted, would you jump on it and never think of the consequences if it was important to you?

New York, one week after the spider bite. November 5th...eight hours until the death of Ben Parker.

A 15 year old Peter is being dropped off at school by his uncle. "Thanks for the ride, uncle Ben." Peter thanks his uncle and gets ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, Peter. We need to talk." Ben tells his nephew.

"We can talk later, I gotta get to class." Peter tells him.

"Well, we can talk now you've still got some time if we hurry. If you let me." Ben tells him.

"What do we have to talk about?" Peter asks Ben.

"Because we haven't talked for so long, I don't even know who you are anymore." Ben tells Peter since he's been acting weird since his trip to Oscorp. "You neglect your chores, you're doing all these strange experiments in your room, you started a fight in school." Ben lists down the past week to him.

"I didn't start that fight, I thought you believed me on that." Peter points out to his uncle. He had no control of these abilities he's been getting recently and one of the school bullies tried fighting him because of an accident.

"You sure finishes it." Ben reminds him since he was actually able to stand up against a person who was stronger than him for once.

"What was I supposed to do, run away?" Peter asks.

"No, you're right, you shouldn't run away, but..Peter, look, you're changing. These are the years when a man changes into the man he's gonna become the rest of his life. Just be careful who you become. I mean, that kid probably deserved what he got. But just because you can fight doesn't mean you always should." Ben explains to Peter.

"I'm not becoming some kind of criminal because I just snapped, I was sick of being beaten up all the time. And I wasn't the only one getting beaten up. So quit worrying about me, okay? I know I'm different, I'm working through some things right now. So stop lecturing me about it, please." Peter tells his uncle.

"I don't mean to lecture, and I don't mean to preach, and I know I'm not your father." Ben tells Peter.

"Then stop pretending you are." Peter states to Ben.

Ben feels hurt because of those words but knows deep down he doesn't really mean it. "Right. I'll meet you here around the regular time, Okay?" Ben asks Peter.

Peter looks to his uncle and feels the weight of what he just said and regrets it. "Uncle Ben, I'm sorry." Peter tells him and Ben looks back up to him. "I...I just need to figure some things out. But I'm sorry for what I said." He apologizes.

Ben smiles at his nephew. "Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it." He assures him.

Peter smiles at his uncle and gets out of the car. "Love you, uncle Ben." Peter reminds him.

"Love you too, kid." Ben tells him before driving off for work.

-

Peter goes through school regularly and waits for Ben outside when the final bell. After waiting some time, Peter decided just to walk him.

When he got to his street in Queens, he saw police cars and an ambulance at his house. He broke into a run and got there in time to see a body bag being wheeled away.

Peter couldn't breathe when he saw the body of his Uncle. A Captain George Stacy came up to him.

"Peter." said George.

"What happened?" Peter asked.

"Peter, this isn't the best time to..."

"What happened?" Peter repeated.

"Someone broke in, he shot Ben and stole the car, we'll get him Pete." George said.

Peter ran from the scene with George being unable to catch up with him due to his abilities. He kept running until he was far enough away from the police, and then started looking for his uncles killer.

He also found a jet ski mask in the trash and decided to use that to at least cover his identity.

-

Peter tracks the man down to an abandoned building with the things he stole from the house. "Who's there?!" He asks and starts shooting around the room. He gets afraid and runs to the door.

But Peter was already on the other side and starts fighting him off. The killer tries killing him with a knife, but Peter knocks it out of his hand and Rios off his mask.

"Please, don't hurt me. Just give me a chance." He pleads to Peter.

"What about my uncle? Did he get a chance?!" Peter asks before pushing him.

But what Peter didn't realize was that the wall was already falling apart so when he hit the wall, he fell through it.

Peter just watched as he fell and hit the ground. Death on impact.

"There's your chance." Peter says heartlessly before leaving.

-

A few weeks later, Peter went to live with his aunt May in Central City, but things just went downhill fast. May got fired from her nursing position and is desperately looking for a new job.

The two of them were just out to dinner, since she was able to save enough for the two of them to eat out.

"What's the matter?" May asks Peter as he's not eating his food. "I thought you loved larb."

"Is it too larby? Not larby enough." May keeps guessing. "How many times do I have to say larb before you talk to me?" May asks him.

Peter hasn't been feeling like himself ever since he stopped his uncles killer.

"Come on, you know I larb you." May tells him.

"I'm just...I'm still grieving I guess." Peter replies to her.

"I understand, sweetie." May tells him. "And you know you don't need to grieve alone, right?" She reminds Peter when one of the waiters bring them something.

"We didn't order this." May tells the waiter.

"It's on the house." He explains and leaves.

"That was nice of him." May states.

"I think he larbs you." Peter jokes and May mockingly looks shocked at Peter.

-

The two of them start walking back home, since May's car broke down and they haven't gotten it back yet.

They were a block away from their home when they were ambushed by a man with a gun. "Don't do anything stupid, and everyone gets to live." The thug warns them. "Wallet, purse, everything."

May panicked and hides Peter behind her not wanting him to be hurt. "Please." She begs the man. "This is all I have left." She pleads with him.

"You've got three seconds." He warns May.

"Peter, run." May tells Peter before trying to wrestle the gun from the man.

Peter does as his aunt told him acting on impulse. But when he realizes what was happening, he runs back to help his aunt.

As he's running back, he hears a gun go off and starts running faster.

When he makes it back, he sees his aunt was shot.

Peter runs up to his aunt. "No, aunt May...please, stay with me. Stay with me, May." Peter pleads to his last family member as she gasps for air.

"Peter, my beautiful boy..." May says while smiling as her life leaves her body.

Peter screams at the top of his lungs in anger and looks up to see the man who shot her running away.

Peter, with all his might, chases after the man and tackles him to the ground.

He then starts to beat the life out of the man, the hatred, anger fueling his strength as he takes away the life of the man who took his last family member.

As of this moment, Peter Parker was alone in the world.

2015..

Peter's life was never the same since that fateful night. Since then, he's been on his own. Every man for himself, while bringing out his own sense of justice to the world.

Ever since that night, he's been training himself to be better, faster, stronger.

When he wasn't in the gym, he was practicing with guns, when he wasn't practicing with guns, he was learning how to treat his own injuries. He never had time for friends anymore, they just got in your way.

After he came of age, he spent a few years in the marines to get the weapons training and how to do it faster than he could ever.

And his powers only gained in strength as he took the law into his own hands.

Vigilante in Central City?

Hero or criminal?

Drug trafficking stopped by the vigilante.

Vigilante named Punisher.

Who is the Punisher?

Trickster killed by the Punisher.

Dr. Octopus killed by Punisher.

Kid Flash nearly stopped the Punisher.

-

The news would keep on coming up with things like that for Peter. He didn't care what they called him as long as they stayed out of his way. Some even believe that there's more than one of him, but there's only one Punisher.

He doesn't plan to stop until every criminal is out of Central City, so no innocents will have to share the same fate as his uncle and aunt.

Peter as of this moment is hunting for another criminal that escaped the police with nothing but a gunshot wound. Peter's only interested in people when they don't care about human lives, and these men apparently work for the Kingpin. He already hunted down the rest of his men and killed them. Kid Flash was there seconds after him, and saw the massacre he left behind.

Peter's only disguise is a pear of boots he got from his time at the marines and a jacket with a skull on it that belongs to his uncle. (Ben was a fan of heavy metal.)

As Peter makes his way through the hospital, one of the officers recognized him and tries to stop him.

Peter quickly grabbed his hand and took his gun away from him and knocks him out.

-

Patty Spivot is the detective watching over the last of the gang members when she hears screaming outside.

"No, he's coming to finish the job." He warns Patty.

Patty takes her gun out and moves to the door and sees the man walking with a riffle in his hands.

"We gotta move." Patty tells him and starts dragging him out of the room.

As they exit the room, Peter is on their trail and states shooting at the man.

Patty gets him out the back way and knows it'll take him a minute to catch up.

"Where is he?" The man asks looking around, completely afraid.

"Get in." Patty tells him.

He gets into her car and starts driving away.

On the rooftop of the hospital, Peter has his riffle aimed at him when a flash of lightning comes up behind him.

"You didn't learn your lesson last time, kid?" Peter asks the speedster.

"What can I say? I don't like crazy people who kill other people." Kid Flash tells Punisher.

"Well, lt looks like I'll have your cowel on my wall after tonight." Peter tells Kid Flash.

Peter turns to shoot him and he dodges all of the bullets. The speedster stops and Peter sees the familiar black kid wearing the yellow suit with only a mask that covered his eyes.

Peter grabs a grenade from his belt and throws it. Wally catches it and looks to Peter annoyed.

"You really thought I couldn't stop that?" Wally asks the madman.

"No, I was hoping you would." Peter tells him when the grenade sends a shock through Kid Flash and he drops in pain.

Peter makes this time to get away as the hero is down.

"Next time you try and stop me, I won't be so nice to keep you alive." Peter warns him and leaves.

Before the end of the day, the last member of the gang was dead...and several officers were injured in the process, but not killed. Peter has a code, kill criminals, victims and innocents get to live.
