Every Netflix Marvel Villain Ranked Worst To Best
16. Alisa Jones (Jessica Jones Season 2)
It's wasn't until halfway through Jessica Jones' second season that we learnt the identity of our violent, mysterious villain. The series constantly reminded us that Jessica was the only survivor of the tragic car accident that killed her family and so we should've been more surprised to find out that the villain is none other than Jessica's mother, Alisa. Sadly, the show was so heavy handed in dropping hints that the 'plot twist' failed to shock.
Alisa Jones' low ranking can also be attributed to the fact that she only very tentatively classified as a villain - a prominent criticism of Jessica Jones' second run. Uncontrollable rage? Check. Murderous tendencies? Check. Yet this was all beyond Alisa's control. Her main battle was ultimately not with Jessica but with herself and her attempts to subdue her proneness for violence - a result of her time in the IGH facility.
Alisa does gain points for the intensity of her rage. She's certainly not the type of person you would want to cross in a dark alley, but the more we got to know Alisa, the less villainous she became and by the season finale, her tragic end was almost regrettable.
