As a result, he acquires a taste for human flesh. As an adult, he moves into the sewers and calls himself “The Man Below.” He starts eating homeless people and living in an underground structure framed with their bones that he calls his mother.
A cult of cannibals grows up around him and becomes his personal army.

Punisher kills them all and burns the Man Below alive.
