10 Craziest Punisher Villains

9. Ma Gnucci

Jigsaw Punisher
Marvel Comics

Isabella Carmela Magdalena Gnucci was the matriarch or "Ma" of the Gnucci Crime Family. Ma was feared in the criminal underworld as she brought in more money in organised crime than anyone else in New York for years. When Frank Castle had a run-in with her sons, he killed them, oblivious they were the heirs of the biggest crime syndicate in the city. Ma vowed she would not rest until Castle was buried.

As crazy as Ma is, you have to admire her tenacity. No matter what happens, she doesn't back down. When Castle killed her goons, she sent more. When she asked her brother to take him out, Castle gunned him down too. After he had a group of polar bears eat her arms and legs, she still refused to accept defeat.

When the Punisher killed everyone in the Gnucci family and burned her house down, Ma didn't give up. Even after he took everything from her, she crawled on her stumps towards the Punisher and started chomping his legs. As he hurled her into the blaze, she cursed the Punisher's name before being incinerated.
