Suggested by Destroyer Now this is a tough one. Both of these characters are basically just guys with a gun. That being said, Howard was terrified of the Punisher while Eric was standing up to Superman. Neither one of these guys strike me as being a fighter in any way outside of the gun but I would give Eric the edge here. He’s built ready to fight and would be able to take the clean shot easier than Howard due to his confidence. He won’t falter when the going gets tough unlike Howard who would be out of luck here. Eric Reibel wins.
