Why Did The Punisher Take My Mask?

Question

As the War continues, Rogers becomes more and more extreme in his desire to win, including allowing the Punisher to join his "Secret Avengers," (though he does not condone the man's willingness to kill) and working (albeit reluctantly) with the Kingpin.[38] At the climax of a battle between Registration and resistence proponants, realizing that his fight against the Registration Act is endangering civilians, he removes and drops his mask to surrender as Steve Rogers. He gives the anti-Registration side the order to stand down. As Captain America is led away, the Punisher picks up the discarded mask.
While entering a Federal Courthouse, Steve Rogers is shot in the shoulder by a sniper. In the ensuing crowd chaos, he is shot three times in the stomach and chest with a handgun, and later dies of his injuries in an ambulance.[39] It is discovered that the assassination was orchestrated by the Red Skull; Crossbones was the sniper and Dr. Faustus had hypnotized Sharon Carter into shooting Ro

gers in the stomach.
While Captain America appears to be genuinely dead, in Civil War: The Initiative, Ms. Marvel tells Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) that Captain America is not dead but "...tucked away safe on the Raft... They're trying to save his life even as we speak." It is unclear whether Ms. Marvel is misguided, intentionally lying or telling the truth.
