Biological Disaster
The idea if a "correct" version of any Marvel or DC character feels a bit weird when there's so many official versions of them, even just looking at the comic-book version in the primary setting. When you expand that to elseworlds, what-ifs, novels, animated shows, live action shows, video games...
As bad as some of The Punisher movies were, they all kept the core idea of The Punisher intact (ex-military who goes on a vigilante killing spree when his family is murdered by criminals, has torso apparel with a skull on it). They're all valid interpretations of the character. It's fiction, there's no "real" person of which the facts may be wrong, just a fictional version of whom the facts may be wrong within the specific medium and story they're being presented in. The live action version of Sherlock where the main character is a woman isn't a "fake" Sherlock, just a different interpretation of the character.
Having said that, there are some TERRIBLE interpretations of fictional characters out there.
