8. The Punisher: Danger Close

Of all the defenders in Netflix's TV shows, it honestly is no surprise that The Punisher has one of the highest kill counts of any Marvel superhero, especially after he got his own solo show.

When Frank Castle was backed into a corner by a group of private military personnel, serving under his ex-best friend Billy Russo, attacking his secret base, the Punisher suited up in his classic bulletproof vest with his iconic skull painted on and grabbed as many weapons as he could for a truly awesome shootout.

This well-shot episode was full of the usual uncomfortable amount of blood, screaming, rainstorm of bullets, and a fair few explosions for good measure. At least twenty-four people are killed single-handedly by the Punisher, the most people killed in a single episode with the Punisher in it.

This battle may not be as flashy as any fights in Daredevil, or full of superpowers and immortal ninjas like the other Defender's shows, but it perfectly encapsulated the carnage The Punisher is capable of when push comes to a violent shove.
