She first appeared in Punisher War Zone #7, as a police officer attempting to catch a serial rapist plaguing Central Park. Frank Castle is in the park as well, taking down targets of opportunity as well as being aware of the rapist. They both confront the criminal, but he escapes. Lynn and Frank team up and confront the rapist, plus several international assassins, in multiple incidents. The rapist dies in the crossfire. Lynn is wounded and as she is being treated, she plants a kiss on Frank. The fact she worked with the Punisher becomes common knowledge.
Later, Frank asks for help in tracking down an organization that is kidnapping people and stealing their blood; it is supposedly 'safer' for medical use. Lynn kills the leader, Mr. Sandeen, when he had the drop on Frank, Ghost Rider and Daredevil. Feeling she had crossed the line again, she breaks down.
Lynn and her partner confront a suspected thief, Clyde Allen Durkin, in his home. They discover evidence indicating he has murdered several children. However, all of it is ruled inadmissible due to warrant problems. Disgusted, Lynn leaves the force.
Frank Castle apparently kills himself in a bomb that takes out a mobster's meeting. A government task force that targets vigilantes, called VIGIL, targets Payback. He is Eddie Dyson, an ex-police officer trying out vigilantism in response to the murder of his family by mobsters. Lynn rescues Payback from VIGIL.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“She [Evelina] is a little angel!... Her face and person answer my most refined ideas of complete beauty.... She has the same gentleness in her manners, the same natural graces in her motions, that I formerly so much admired in her mother. Her character seems truly ingenuous and simple; and at the same time that nature has blessed her with an excellent understanding and great quickness of parts, she has a certain air of inexperience and innocency that is extremely interesting.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
