10 Best MCU Villains (Who Aren't In The Movies)

Billy Russo, also known as Jigsaw, is a rare breed of Punisher villain, mostly in that he survives his first encounter with the one-man army that is Frank Castle.

When we are first introduced to Billy Russo, he is an old-time ally of Frank’s, but it unfolds that Russo is not exactly on the up and up, wanting to execute Frank to cover up his involvement in a heroin smuggling operation which lead to the murder of Frank’s family.

Of course, upsetting the Punisher is about as good of an idea as fighting a bear while wearing nothing but a suit made of steak, and the altercation went about as well as can be expected, leaving Russo with a scarred face and broken psyche.

Russo then reappears after being released from a psychiatric hospital, starting his own crime Fight Club and going to war against the Punisher under the new name “Jigsaw”.

The brotherly connection between Frank and Billy fuelled a lot of the animosity between the two men, leading to a hatred that only betrayed brothers can have. Even when Russo can’t remember Frank directly, he still knows that he hates and fears the Punisher. Their connection transcends the physical and onto a more spiritual level.

It would be sweet if they weren’t trying to massacre each other.
