Bridge gets involved in a Times Square standoff between Bushwacker and a police auxiliary officer who refuses to back down. The Punisher arrives as part of Bushwacker's demands but it is Bridge who ends up bringing the bad guy down. The death of Captain America is broadcast over the Jumbotron.
Frank and Stuart narrowly escape an attack by Bridge and his SHIELD agents. The Punisher gets really angry when he sees a news story about a guy killing Mexicans on the border in California while wearing a uniform styled after Captain America. The Punisher heads out west.
Punisher poses as a racist jerk and is initiated into the new Hate Monger's National Force by fighting a bull blindfolded.
Tony calls in Bridge and fires him from SHIELD service. Stuart makes Frank a modified Captain America costume that he will use in facing down the new Hate Monger and his National Force. Tank captures Stuart's girlfriend, Tatiana.
As Frank's last initiation into the National Force, he is asked to kill Stuart's girlfriend, Tatiana. Stuart calls in Bridge for help. When the Hate Monger and his forces attack another Mexican lay-up colony, the Punisher puts on his Captain America inspired costume and starts attacking but is quickly captured by the men he is trying to kill.
Punisher, Bridge and Clarke take down the new Hate Monger and put an end to his National Force. Bridge lets Frank and Stuart go rather than arresting them as he was commanded to do by SHIELD.
