"With guys like Punisher and Nick Fury and guys like that, the gritty, what makes these street level soldiers just as tough and important as superheroes?"
"To me there a lot more important than superheroes is because there several steps near the real world. Superheroes to me are of every limited interest, every limited relevance. It's hard, it would be hard to do a story a story like the one I did with Nick Fury and have Spider-Man show up in the middle of it, it would instantly destroy the story, it just remove all creditable. With a guy who's a Black Ops agent, a spy, an assassin, all the various roles Fury has fulfilled, with a guy like that to begin with I think your able to achieve a level of relevance that superheroes simply can't reach." --Garth Ennis, 2013

Wrong post.. Go read PUNISHER MAX or wait for the upcoming mini series by Garth Ennis.
