Kurtis Stryker
Kurtis Stryker's biography screen in Mortal Kombat 3 revealed that he was the leader of the Riot Control Brigade when Outworld's portal opened over New York City. He attempted to keep order among the populace in the ensuing chaos, but soon all human souls were taken by Shao Kahn with the exception of those that belonged to the chosen warriors. Stryker did not understand why he had been spared until he received a vision from Raiden, instructing him to head west in order to meet with the other chosen warriors and learn about the importance of his survival. Although he did not wish to be one of the few souls that was spared, he entered the fray with the intention of avenging the lives of the innocent that he had vowed to serve and protect. Along with the other warriors, Stryker assisted in liberating Earthrealm from Shao Kahn's clutches Stryker was introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 as a somewhat stout-looking man sporting a very urban design with a white-blue shirt, combat boots, gunbelt, black police pants, and a backwards cap. However, his appearance changed in Armageddon into a more serious-looking and modernized policeman. Originally described as being a leader of the Special Riot Control division in the New York City Police Department, he uses firearms and other modern weapons, in contrast to the normal fighters, who use magic, or robotic techonlogy.

In the new timeline that was created as Raiden send a message to his earlier self. Stryker was one of the police officers too defend New York from Outworld's forces before he was recruited by Nightwolf as one of the defenders of Earthrealm. He was soon killed however by an empored Sindel, along with most of the Earthrealm warriors, only too return as one of Quan Chi's undead revenants.

The Punisher
After a failed arms deal results in the death of Bobby Saint and the arrest of Mickey Duka, "Krieg", the dealer is apparently killed but revealed to be Frank Castle. This would be the last job for Castle before his retirement from his career as an FBI and Delta Force operator. When he goes to Puerto Rico to visit his father, mob boss Howard Saint isn't happy about his son's death and bribes his way to Krieg's info. After finding about the truth, Saint sends his hitmen to finish Castle.

In Puerto Rico, Castle's family, including his son, wife, father, and other extended family are celebrating his retirement. This is short lived though as Saint's hitmen including John Saint, Bobby's twin invade the party and kill almost everyone. Castle and his father try to fight back but Frank Sr. is gunned down and his wife and son are run over by a truck. Castle himself is shot in the chest by a shotgun and blown up by Glass, one of the hitmen.

Surprisingly, Castle survives and is brought back to health by a local fisherman named Candelaria. When he goes to find the destruction left from that day, he finds a black shirt with a skull on it which was a gift from his son. Contrary to his comic book counterpart, this version of Castle lives in Tampa, Florida, as opposed to New York City.

My Edges
Short: Edge Stryker: WHile his weapons are less lethal, he has two nightsticks and a taser, while Frank has one knife and thats it, plus Stryker has better short range.

Mid: Edge The Punisher: He has two pistols with higher rate of fire than a single Glock pistol.

Long: Edge Even: Both rifles have almost equal stats, one has more rate of fire, the other has more range.

Explosives: Edge The Punisher: The M203 has more range and is attached to the M4A1, making it easier to carry, despite having weaker blast.

X-Factors
Physicality: Stryker 94, The Punisher 89: Frank has decent physicality and survived a shot from a shotgun, but Stryker can uppercut into the air beings like Kintaro or Goro, plus he is the only character of Mortal Kombat with no magical abilities, and keeping up with the supernatural cast is a feat of strength.

Combat Experience: Stryker 89, The Punisher 95: Well we don't know how much Stryker has served in the NYPD, we can assume is quite long since he had become an officer during the events of Mortal Kombat and having to fight Reptile, Mileena and Kintaro. Frank fought in the Gulf War and was part of Delta Force, then having to fight his family killers.

Training: Stryker 82, The Punisher 96: Frank was member of Delta Force and FBI, Stryker is just a SWAT policeman.

Brutality: Stryker 91, The Punisher: The Punisher knows when to kill and not to kill. Stryker kinda does it too, if we don't count that he kills in more gruesome way with his fatalities.
