10 Craziest Punisher Villains

10. The Holy

Although the Punisher believes he is wiping out crime, his actions have inspired many people to turn to vigilantism, often with disastrous consequences.

During confession, a priest called Hector Redondo heard a mass murderer asking for absolution for his sins. Enraged that the criminal thought he could avoid repercussions for his evil deeds, the priest snapped and hacked him to bits with an axe. The last thing the crook said was, "Holy!" before he was killed. Redondo saw this as a sign he was chosen to punish sinners and took on the name, The Holy.

He killed any person who entered his confession booth that he believed to be beyond redemption. He knew his actions were evil in the eyes of God but he didn't know how to stop killing. When The Holy read an article about the Punisher's goal to wipe out all crime, it compelled him to continue smiting the wicked. He found two vigilantes called Mister Payback and Elite who also took it upon themselves to slay criminals.

The trio tracked down the Punisher to thank him for inspiring their work and asked him to lead their group. Unsurprisingly, the Punisher shot them all dead.
