* WouldNotHitAGirl: As in the comics, The Punisher very rarely kills a woman, unless the woman is involved with the criminals he's fighting, or in charge of them. Most of the women in this game are considered innocent. The only exceptions are Ma Gnucci, and Takagi's geisha bodyguards. (Unless you kill Takagi the way he asks you to. They will then leave Frank alone and commit RitualSuicide.)
