Stone Cold
I changed sudden death to stone Cold as that in The Punisher War Journal#79 "Countdown #4" the man who blows away Microchip is called Stone Cold not Sudden Death. Paulwharton 23:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Cause of original fight
I'm not sure from reading this article, why it was that Microchip and Punisher had their first shootout. The second one makes sense (with Microchip funneling drugs/guns), but I don't get why this happened the first time when he apparently died. Jkoudys 00:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * After "Suicide Run", Microchip and Punisher were separated for a lengthy period of time. Disapproving of Frank's increasingly self-destructive behavior, Micro pretended to be a drug dealer named "Kringe", and lured Frank into a sealed room made to look like the Castle family house. He hoped to sort of detox Frank off his suicidal path. Meanwhile, Micro was also grooming a replacement Punisher in a guy named CC. Needless to say, Frank didn't see this as Chip caring about him, and sought revenge. The MAX run, which has been thankfully declared non-616, had Microchop having just up and walked away, no death, fake or otherwise. Ennis got that wrong, got his first name wrong ("David" instead of Linus) and even got his nickname wrong (Frank called him "Chip", not "Micro").SirStack (talk) 17:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Plot And Other Aspects Of Microchip's Life
I have reservations about the 'Plot' paragraph. I've read many, many Punisher/Microchip stories and I am hard pressed to recall one that is remotely like what is described. The Punisher's relationship with Microchip has had a long, varied and vastly interesting history. In fact, I'll be thinking of ways this article could be reasonbly expanded, there are many interesting facets of Microchip's life. Such as his son and his cousin and Mickey Fondozzi, to say the least. (I tried to add his relatives to the infobox but it won't let me). Not to mention all the solo adventures Microchip has. He may have a gut but he can kick butt. (I did not intend for that to rhyme, please forgive me)

And in answer to the previous comment, I know where you are coming from, Sir/Ma'am. I've read (still own, I think) the comics myself and gravy goodness, they do not make sense.

Well, except for the part where the Punisher was close to a nervous breakdown. But still. What did Microchip do to him at that point in time?

Suggestions for improvement
1) Micro's friendship with the idiotic Mickey Fondozzi.

2) Micro's adventures on his own. Usually in Punisher annuals.

3) Didn't Micro have a son who died while assisting Frank?

 * There's information about Micro's son somewhere in the history. Someone removed it, not sure why. - Peregrine Fisher 03:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The first clash
I seem to remember that the Punisher expressed some regret over Microchip's first apparent death. I don't recall the Punisher saying he would have killed him. And either way, wasn't Frank goofed up on brainwashing drugs at the time anyway? Lots42 (talk) 09:27, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * He didn't say he would have. He said he didn't know if he would have or not. Whoever wrote the article got it wrong. And for the record, Frank wasn't drugged then, he was just on a destructive path at the time. He didn't get drugged until the "Over the Edge" storyline which started after Micro died.SirStack (talk) 18:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

MAX again.
Pulled off the Punisher discussion page. "In Punisher #5 which was released today, writer Rick Remender finally put this debate to rest in the letters section. He explicitly stated that MAX is not in 616 continuity. Here is the whole quote, "Let me make this very clear and concrete: PUNISHER MAX IS NOT REGULAR MARVEL CONTINUITY. Seriously, It is a different, and quite filthy, universe. In MAX town Frank is an older man, there aren't any magic crystals lying around and people use cocaine for sugar."

Is that really the word we want to use?
I can see how some would view Microchip as a supervillain but isn't he technically an anti-hero? He only kills/help kill really horrible people. Okay, once in an alternate universe he worked with drug dealers but what the hell. Anyway. Lots42 (talk) 00:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Nephew, son?
Been reading a lot of real early Punisher comics (Essential Punisher Vol. 2). Lots about Microchip and his son...but here I see Microchip had a nephew? So confusing. Especially since Vol. 2 can't keep straight the number of kids Frank Castle had. So is there someone else who can nail this down? Micochip's son/nephew is very important to the character. Lots42 (talk) 17:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * And to make it more confusing, I just finished Punisher Vol #1 #9 (1998) where his son dies and it has nothing to do with hacking the Kingpin's databases (he was providing sniper control for Frank and a ninja got him). Lots42 (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
