When the Superhero Registration Act offered Day a chance at redemption, he signed up with the government and was outfitted with a new suit of armor to serve as a law enforcer during the Civil War. Unfortunately for Day, one of his assignments led him into conflict with the Punisher. Both were tracking a convicted child pornographer who was already in FBI custody. The Punisher paralyzes Stilt-Man with a M72 LAW, and then shoots him at point-blank range, killing him. The pornographer is killed moments later. Day's funeral was held in the Bar With No Name, and was attended by his fellow also-rans of the crime world. Sadness turned to remembrance, which turned into high spirits, which eventually led to a full-scale fight breaking out. The appearance of Spider-Man put an end to the violence, but the bar was then promptly blown up by the Punisher in an attempt to kill all the villains inside. It was later mentioned that "they all had to get their stomachs pumped and be treated for third-degree burns ", with Stilt-Man ultimately succumbing to his injuries and dying. During the Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy storyline, Stilt-Man is among the supervillains "reanimated" in cloned bodies (with their souls intact) by Ben Reilly and his company New U Technologies. Stilt-Man later appears in San Francisco where he fights the Superior Spider-Man, who has recently relocated there.
