So, The Avenger...no, not those guys...and no, not THOSE guys, either...
OK, let's start again. Richard Henry Benson, a.k.a The Avenger, and the head of Justice, Inc., is leading a pal to track down a mook. But...
[editor's note--yes, The Avenger's gun is named Mike. He also has a gun named Ike. That's just how the Golden Age Of Pulps rolled]
And yes, according to the books/magazines, Benson could shoot that well.
And it should be noted that, despite his wife and child being killed by the mob, Benson didn't set out to kill all criminals--just to end all crime.
So what's your excuse, Frank Castle?
From Justice, Inc. #3 (1975). Yes, Denny O'Neil and Jack Kirby did a Justice Inc. series. It only lasted 4 issues...

I read the pulp novels of The Avenger, which was put out by the folks that brought us Doc Savage. As I recall some sort of trauma had left his face immobile, and he could mold it as a sort of disguise.
