I don't know. I'd be willing to wager that Punisher has a higher body count than all of the three aforementioned combined. The Punisher's entire life is dedicated to taking down the criminal underworld, leading him to kill many mob types along with many lower powered super villains. Green Goblin, Venom and Bullseye are there to torment their proper nemesis (Spidey, Spidey and Daredevil, respectively) and only occasionally kill someone not related to their nemesis.

The villains used in Civil War didn't kill anyone (at least not published), whereas the Punisher killed four in the regular series, and even a few more in the Punisher War Journal tie ins.
