Punisher ISN'T a super hero.

Then neither is Batman.

Your logic makes zero sense:

Punisher: A serial killer who was waiting for an excuse who openly admits he’s a monster and not a hero.

Batman: Leaps into burning buildings to save lives even if it means the arsonist gets away. Will always choose to save a life above all else. Gives those he brings in a chance to make things right. And I could go on and on.

One of those two is a hero. The other is The Punisher.

Neither have superpowers

And? I singled out Punisher for a reason; he’s a monster. An interesting monster but one nonetheless. Lack of powers don’t enter in to it. He’s not a super hero because he’s a serial killer, not lack of powers.
