** [[AxCrazy Nicolas "Nicky" Cavella]] may [[FauxAffablyEvil seem polite]], but in fact is so psychotic that even other Mafiosi despise him. Nicky started his career in murder when he was [[EnfantTerrible just a little boy]] by executing his parents and 12-year-old sister, conspiring with his aunt to gain control of the family. Later on, Nicky dealt with a particularly obstinate Chinese gangster by murdering the man's elder sons after [[FamilialCannibalismSurprise having fed the man his youngest son]], who was only in junior high school. Upon his return to New York following Frank Castle's rampage amongst the Cesare family, Nicky slaughters multiple people, betraying his own allies and throwing them to Frank to cover his own escape while also having his right-hand psychopath Pittsy torture and castrate a CIA agent for information. When he returns later, Nicky enrages Frank further by digging up the remains of his family and filming himself pissing on them. When his schemes meet a predictable end, Nicky attempts to escape by using a little boy as a hostage with a gun to his head. A DirtyCoward hiding under a tough guy exterior, Cavella was nevertheless the worst of the gangsters Frank had to face.
** [[SmugSnake William Rawlins]] was a sociopathic, greedy UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} operative who made his living as a leech in war zones. [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Betraying any ally]] for a quick buck, Rawlins once even threw his wife overboard to the Taliban rather than give up a shipment of heroin, resulting in her being repeatedly raped, something he later taunts her about. Going deep undercover in Saudi Arabia at the behest of a group of corrupt generals, Rawlins created a terrorist cell and used them to hijack a civilian airliner for a suicide attack on Moscow to create the illusion of a terrorist attack. When he later heads to Afghanistan on business, he has no compunction committing more betrayals and trying to see his vengeful ex-wife dead with Frank Castle. Betraying his benefactor, Rawlins [[SlashedThroat slits the man's loyal second in command's throat]] and promises to find the man's young son and rape him to death in Moscow. Described as a parasite who lives only to make the world a hellish place he could profit from, Rawlins thought nothing of murder, betrayal or any other crime as long as [[{{Greed}} he could earn more from it]].

* [[ArchEnemy Darryl "Fearmaster" King]] juggles being a CorruptCorporateExecutive, TheDon, a SerialKiller, and a SinisterMinister. When not ordering the demolition of inhabited neighborhoods and overseeing experimentation on the downtrodden as a part of his day job as a member of Alchemax Corporation, Fearmaster acts as the head of the Cyber-Nostra, and used his transformative powers on innocent women, disfiguring some and turning others into decorative statues for his amusement. And while he also used his abilities to revitalize those who attended his church, he had the rejuvenations be only temporary so that his congregation would become addicted to them and give him anything in exchange for them, including sex. Fearmaster's contempt for everyone around him also extended to his own allies; when the criminals that the Punisher had locked in his basement begged Fearmaster to let them out, the latter ignored them, and referred to the prospect of them all starving to death as a "bonus".

He and his associates have been terrorizing a Mexican border town by kidnapping [[WouldHitAGirl women]] and girls--as young as [[WouldHurtAChild twelve]]--and having them work literally to death as slave labor under terrible conditions in his drug lab. Frank notes that the number of crosses in a cemetery indicates the massive scale of the cartel. The Heavy tries to drive Frank away by placing an already-dead little kid at the scene of the shootout to make Frank believe he shot her. Aside from being a very BadBoss, The Heavy plans to sexually assault one of the workers, and, when Punisher's closing in, orders his men to kill the remaining workers before they can talk to the police.

** [[AxCrazy Nicolas "Nicky" Cavella]] may [[FauxAffablyEvil seem polite]], but in fact is so psychotic that [[EvenEvilHasStandards even other Mafiosi despise him]]. Nicky started his career in murder when he was [[EnfantTerrible just a little boy]] by executing his parents and 12-year-old sister, conspiring with his aunt to gain control of the family. Later on, Nicky dealt with a particularly obstinate Chinese gangster by murdering the man's elder sons after having fed the man his youngest son, who was only in junior high school. Upon his return to New York following Frank Castle's rampage amongst the Cesare family, Nicky slaughters multiple people, betraying his own allies and throwing them to Frank to cover his own escape while also having his right-hand psychopath Pittsy torture and castrate a CIA agent for information. When he returns later, Nicky enrages Frank further by digging up the remains of his family and filming himself pissing on them. When his schemes meet a predictable end, Nicky attempts to escape by using a little boy as a hostage with a gun to his head. A DirtyCoward hiding under a tough guy exterior, Cavella was nevertheless the worst of the gangsters Frank had to face.

When not ordering the demolition of inhabited neighborhoods and overseeing experimentation on the downtrodden as a part of his day job as a member of Alchemax Corporation, Fearmaster acts as the head of the Cyber-Nostra, and used his transformative powers on innocent women, disfiguring some and turning others into decorative statues for his amusement. And while he also used his abilities to revitalize those who attended his church, he had the rejuvenations be only temporary so that his congregation would become addicted to them and give him anything in exchange for them, including sex. Fearmaster's contempt for everyone around him also extended to his own allies; when the criminals that the Punisher had locked in his basement begged Fearmaster to let them out, the latter ignored them, and referred to the prospect of them all starving to death as a "bonus".
