Description
I'm a crazy Mario fan. But also, I adore The Punisher, from Marvel Comics; I've got a very big collection of this character, which includes a lot of comic books, video games and the two last movies (War Zone kicks ass). Nintendo and Marvel Comics are way too different universes, but since I'm a huge fan of both companies' works, I always wanted to mix them up.
Appreciating both Mario and the Punisher, I just needed an excuse to mix up their universes. That's when I heard (and eventually watched) Super Mario Momotarō. This is the first one of the Super Mario anime series, and it's based on the Japanese fairy tale Momotarō. The story is considered to be totally separated from the rest of the Marioverse, since it's just a version of Momotarō and changing everything up in the Mario series was a need; this resulted in two elderly Hammer Bros. being grandparents to Princess Peach, Mario being born from inside of a giant peach (the fruit) and using a freakin' MACHINEGUN. No, there isn't any machine-gun in the original Momotarō, so I really don't know what those guys from the animation team had in mind. I'm not complaning, though.
Add to it the band he wears on his head and the association of Mario with the symbol of a peach, and you'll have a true kickin'-ass, Koopa-punisher Super Mario.
The background was taken from the original Super Mario Momotarō. Dry Bowser and Dry Bones don't appear in the anime, but I based this whole drawing on the cover for The Punisher #28 (Streets of Laredo, part 1) made by the glorious Tim Bradstreet; the picture features human skulls being aimed by a gun, and I wanted to be loyal to it, so it's like if Bowser was alive, but we're actually seeing only his skull, representing death. Download it for bigger resolution. The logotype was also based on the Punisher's logo, his skull being replaced by Super Mario Momotarō's peach. Roy Koopa is in the background.
