Meeting the Punisher

One day, Mickey was leading four enforcers against a triad bank when Punisher confronted them. Punisher killed Mickey's men but had plans for their leader. Castle wanted Mickey's help in creating the identity of "Johnny Tower" and infiltrating the Carbone family. The duo , posing as cousins, would regularly perform missions for Julian Carbone while quietly eliminating other family soldiers. When their cover was blown, they were barely able to escape with their lives. They needed the assistance of Shotgun, a mercenary working for the American government, to do so.

Julian Carbone met his demise at the hands of the Punisher. His daughter Rosalie took over the family. Rosalie had been romantically involved with Johnny Tower and felt betrayed. Both Rosalie and uncle Sal used Mickey for information on the Punisher's location. Their schemes actually backfired. Now working for himself, Mickey opened a used car sale's lot. Most of the cars in his stock were stolen. Mickey continued acting as Punisher's informant on more serious criminal activities.

At one point, Mickey and Microchip assist the Punisher in investigating the Secret Empire, a worldwide criminal group with the front as a men's social club. Mickey and Micro are mistaken for two visiting bosses and must improvise their way through the incident.

Marvel Knights

His criminal career ended when Mickey got hold of the wrong stolen car. It belonged to the Black Widow who came asking questions along with Dagger. Mickey tried keeping his mouth shut. Dagger performed a soul cleansing technique on him. Not only did he tell the two ladies everything they wanted to know, he decided to quit crime and follow the straight and narrow road. Punisher soon realized his best informer had become useless to him. Castle severed all contact with Mickey.
