 However, the character faded into obscurity for many years, until he served as a main antagonist for the first half of Ka-Zar's eponymous 1997 title by writer Mark Waid and artist Andy Kubert, from issues #1 - 10 (May 1997 - February 1998).The Plunderer was apparently killed by the Punisher in "Punisher War Journal" #2 (February 2007) during Marvel's Civil War event.This led to a turning point in the storyline involving Captain America's activities during the Civil War, as he was intending to allow supervillains to join his side and the Punisher's actions prevented this.
