What Marvel's The Defenders Cast Look Like In The Comics

In The Comics

Turk Barrett was a small-time criminal who operated in Hell's Kitchen. In addition to being a member of the Thunderbolts Gang for a time, Turk worked for the likes of Roscoe Sweeney and Eric Slaughter. He also had brief stints as low-level super villains, such as Mauler and Stilt-Man. Outside of the costumes, Turk is commonly seen wearing business attire.

In The Show

In the Netflix Marvel Universe, Turk reprises his role as a small-time crook (although more dressed-down, which seems to be Netflix's style thus far) and found himself in Daredevil's crosshairs during the time he spent working for Wilson Fisk. He would later become Daredevil's go-to guy to beat information out of and, as old habits die hard, would serve a similar purpose to Luke Cage. He appears only briefly in The Defenders, with Cage roughing him up until he reveals what he knows about "White Hat" (Sowande).
