[Marvel] Would the Punisher prioritize saving innocent live(s) or killing his target?

I know the Punisher is extremely careful to not cause any collateral damage in his pursuit of criminals, even going so far as to kill other vigilantes because they have.

However, since he is so single-minded in his pursuit of villains, what would he do in a situation where he had to choose between letting an innocent person die and killing his target? For example, if a villain had made it so that a civilian died if they died, would he let them go?

Or how about if, while chasing a villain, he crossed paths with someone in need, perhaps from a car crash or something? How much does he truly care about saving lives?

It depends on the situation really. People in normal, everyday peril don't really register for him if he's on a mission, so he won't let a mark go to pull somebody out of a fire or anything like that.

A villain threatening an innocent life as collateral to escape is another matter entirely. If there's a way he can take somebody down and save the hostage he will, shooting a guy in the head while they're holding a hostage for example. If there's no way he can beat the situation he'll spare the innocent life, but you better believe that guy will become his new #1 and he will be after them twice as hard.
