Manic What If? Day--What If All The What Ifs Were About The Punisher?

How can you tell that the 90s were a little bit Punisher-obsessed?

Of course, we should be grateful that they never got really silly, like "What If The Punisher Fought Crime In Space?" or "What If The Punisher Came Back As Frankenstein's Monster?" Because Marvel would never be that silly...
