From Wikipedia
“The Marvel MAX version of the Punisher is set in the Marvel Universe world but without superhero appearances. Castle’s timeline remained untouched when Marvel adjusted those of its other characters. His history has never been altered or moved up, creating an unaddressed chronological anomaly.
The MAX version of the Punisher ages in real time, propelling him into his late 50s, significantly older than most of the mainstream Marvel Universe. The cover of issue #44 reveals that he was born on February 16, 1950, but was later removed during the book’s publication. He has a well-maintained physical condition and health, in spite of his age. The imprint also depicts the Punisher as having been an active vigilante for almost 30 years. Issue #19 specified he had killed approximately 2,000 people, not including military personnel or the deaths in a story in which the Punisher causes a hydrogen bomb to be dropped onto the Pacific island Grand Nixon, where a General Kriegkopf has gathered 2,000 mercenaries, including the assassin known as The Russian .
Whereas the traditional Punisher stories remained within the United States and involved antagonists and settings of conventional domestic crime, stories of the Marvel MAX Punisher often focus on current events, ranging from corporate fraud to sex slavery and most commonly the War on Terror. Characters in these stories are all products of past or current environments, including operatives of the CIA, KGB, MI6, SAS and various militaries and militias from the Balkans and Middle East and terrorist cells like the IRA, all with agendas rooted in past conflicts like the Cold War or the Yugoslav wars.”
