The Punisher does. Watch this fan-made masterpiece starring Thomas Jane:
Gotta love an actor who digs a part he played so much that he make his own peer production so it can continue. (Yeah, Marvel, we think you should bring Jane and “Frank Castle” back up to the major leagues. Joss’ll love it. Really. And we know you love Joss.)
At least, they’re saying they do. And opening up a nice little window of opportunity. “For the first time in over a decade,” as their website puts it, “Harper Voyager are opening the doors to unsolicited submissions in order to seek new authors with fresh voices, strong storytelling abilities, original ideas and compelling storylines. So, if you believe your manuscript has these qualities, then we want to read it!”
The imprint is specifically looking for “all kinds of adult and young adult speculative fiction for digital publication, but particularly epic fantasy, science fiction, urban fantasy, horror, dystopia and supernatural.” Inasmuch as this is a major league operation, publishing writers like George R. R. Martin, Kim Harrison, and Raymond E. Feist, this seems like way too good an opportunity to pass up.
Actually, we’ve thought it always was. But we’re weird.

(This assumes, of course, that viewers actually watch things when they’re scheduled instead of when the viewers feel like it, and that assumption is, we think, on its way to being totally wrong. But till then:)
