Marvel Comics' Punisher is the archetypal pop culture anti-hero, but the publisher actually set the precedent for characters like Frank Castle decades earlier with Namor the Submariner. Anti-heroes might feel like a modern phenomenon, but they have a long pre-history, and Namor's early appearances show Marvel was ahead of the curve on this trend.
