A nightclub owner in Harlem who deals in illegal operations.
----
* AffablyEvil: Despite his brutal methods, he genuinely loves Harlem and thinks he's doing whats best for the people who live there. He's also very personable face-to-face, all smiles and handshakes.
* AscendedExtra: Cottonmouth is not a terribly prominent villain in the MarvelUniverse comics, but here, he's the BigBad of the ''Luke Cage'' TV series. [[spoiler:Only for the first half though.]]
* BadBoss: While he may have [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]], it's a bad idea to be a subordinate who gets on Cottonmouth's bad side. The lucky ones just get fired for annoying him. The ''unlucky'' ones get shot in the face or thrown off buildings, frequently with no warning.
* BaldOfEvil: He has very little hair, and is the resident BigBad.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' call him Cottonmouth. He doesn't like it.
* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Cornell dies after confronting his cousin on the fact that she was protected by Maybel, while he was forced to get his hands bloodied, even killing the man who cared for him the most]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Is killed in the seventh episode of ''Luke Cage'', making way for Mariah and Diamondback to take his place as the BigBadEnsemble of season one]].
* TheDreaded: His own employees are afraid to go up to his balcony. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows to be afraid of Cottonmouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Stokes did care for Pop in his own way. When Pop is killed, Stokes furiously throws the murderer off the top of his club and is later seen weeping over an old photo of Pop.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As cruel and greedy as he can be, Stokes does have a code. He believes that there are rules to the criminal lifestyle, and is angered when those rules are broken. He's also disgusted with Mariah's pretenses of legitimacy, seemingly viewing her as less honest than him.
* HiddenDepths: Cornell is a very gifted pianist, even keeping a Rhodes Mark II keyboard in his office. [[spoiler:As "Pistol" Pete mentions in flashbacks, he even had the talent as a child to go to Juilliard, but living under Mabel's influence made him decide to use his hands as blunt instruments instead]].
* InTheBlood: Cousin to Mariah Dillard, and raised with her by his crime boss grandmother, "Mama Mabel". The experience seems to have made quite an impression on him, as he equates crime with autonomy and empowerment.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: His comics counterpart isn't related to Mariah.
* SharpDressedMan: He tends to be very well-dressed, as befitting his status as a WickedCultured club owner.
* TheToothHurts: His nickname comes from an incident as a young street thug where three of his teeth were knocked out.
* TranquilFury: Don't be fooled by his [[BerserkButton moments of raw fury]]. It's when he's outwardly calm and composed that Cottonmouth is at his angriest, and consequently his most lethal.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: He was a gentle boy, played the piano. Then Mama Mabel made him beat a boy to death.
* VillainousBreakdown: Stokes comes from the Wilson Fisk Academy of Bad Guys where he's largely a genial sort, but can terrifyingly blow his top. When things go wrong, all the smiles and good humor in the world won't stop him from beating you to death with his bare hands until there's more blood outside than in.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: As part of his SharpDressedMan get-up, he has a very cool waistcoat.
* WickedCultured: He may be extremely ruthless and willing to get his hands dirty, but he's still a criminal of the classy variety, favoring a wardrobe of natty well-tailored suits and playing soul piano in his off-hours. He also has a poster of [[Music/TheNotoriousBIG Biggie as the King of New York]] [[PopCulturedBadass framed and hung in his office]], pointing to both his tastes and ambitions.

->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/LukeCage2016''
A local politician and Stokes' cousin looking to bring change to Harlem, whose life is thrown into turmoil by the actions of Cage and Stokes.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Alfre Woodard is certainly more pleasant to the eye than her counterpart in the comics.
* BerserkButton: Do not call her "Black Mariah." She absolutely hates it.
* ChildHater: She's filmed interacting with children in a park, and once the cameras are off she grabs the hand sanitizer.
* CorruptPolitician: She used donation money to build a nightclub.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Her comic counterpart is often called Black Mariah, which hasn't been the case here. Cornell mockingly refers to her by this name once. Mariah made sure it was ''only'' once.
* CorruptPolitician: Is a politician and, like her cousin, not a moral one. This is unlike her comic counterpart, who's merely a drug dealer.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She shows up at a community event, smiling and hugging every neighborhood kid she knows... and then, as the smile fades, she discreetly steps off to an aide, who offers her a squirt of hand sanitizer.
* FriendtoAllChildren: Averted '''hard'''.
* InTheBlood: She's the cousin of Cornell Stokes (who she's reluctant to embrace either privately or publicly), and was raised with him by "Mama Mabel" Stokes, her criminal great-aunt. Rather than go for outright illegal activities like Cornell, Mariah was instead drawn to Mabel's fixings and dealings in Harlem and became a career politician. [[spoiler:The blood ties are made explicitly clear in "Manifest" where she viciously kills Cottonmouth in a rage, and she begins to act much more like Mabel from then on]].
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Gets out of her arrest at the end of ''Luke Cage'' by sending Shades to kill the young woman preparing to testify against her]].
* MrsRobinson: [[spoiler:Gets together with Shades at the end of ''Luke Cage'']].
* NotSoAboveItAll: A dark example. [[spoiler:She shows herself to be just as brutal as every member of her family]].
* PoliticiansKissBabies: Her photo ops tend to revolve around showing how good she is with kids.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Her comics counterpart isn't related to Cottonmouth.
* VisionaryVillain: She genuinely wants to make Harlem a better place.

An Irish mobster with interests in both Ireland and New York.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Finn Cooley in the comics was an ex-Irish Republican Army bomber who was disfigured by one of his own bombs. In the show, he looks normal. [[spoiler:Although he *does* eventually get his face blown off like his comic book namesake, it's by a shotgun, and he doesn't survive it.]]

* AxCrazy: He comes off as a little unhinged when he suddenly and brutally murders an old friend at his son's funeral.
* BadBoss: The man does not give a solitary shit about the people under his command; he threatens them with death should they fail, and it's not an idle threat.
* BeardOfEvil: Finn is psychotic gangster with a short red beard.
* BerserkButton: His son. He kills a friend who suggests he just accept his son's death, and takes a drill to Frank's foot when Frank implies he didn't care about his son.
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Frank.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:Even when Frank turns the tables on him and has him at gunpoint demanding to know who killed his family, Finn doesn't flinch or beg.]]

* EvilRedhead: Fiery red hair.
* EyeScream: At his son's funeral, he kills an underling by stabbing the guy through the eye.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He turns up at his son's funeral, stabs an underling through the eye before popping pills for his nerves and shrieks that he wants his money back. All of this establishes who Finn is; psychotic, unhinged and greedy.

A figure in Hell's Kitchen's organised crime circles.
----
* ArmsDealer: He sells firearms illegally out of his car trunk. They don't work.
* BaldOfEvil: A bald man whose EstablishingCharacterMoment shows his involvement in sexual slavery.
* ButtMonkey:
** After the introductory episode, a lot of his appearances involve things going south for him. His guns don't work properly, he gets beaten up by Daredevil ''really'' thoroughly ''twice'', and then the FBI arrests him. Given what he gets up to, it's deserved.
** This continues in the ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' prequel comic, where Jessica pays him a visit in the hospital where he's recuperating from being beaten up by Matt yet again. Jessica pulls out his IV and takes money from his wallet to pay off his child support.
** His first scene in Season 2 continues the streak by having Daredevil breaking his hand and throwing his car keys in the sea, ''right'' after he was released on parole.
** In the final episode of Season 2, he gets kidnapped by the Hand for being connected to Daredevil, and his foot is almost cut off when they discover his tracking anklet.
** [[spoiler:Back for more humiliation in ''Series/LukeCage2016'', he first simply loses a game of chess. Then he get's threatened by Misty Knight and then, after snitching Chico out, get's chased off by Cottonmouth without any payment. Finally, Luke dumps him in the dumpster and crushes it shut, leaving him there]]
* DisappearedDad: He apparently has multiple baby mommas, and yet despite being a moderately successful crook he hasn't paid child support to any of them.
* HonestJohnsDealership: Turk assures Healy that his black market guns will work perfectly ([[GilliganCut Healy's jams]]). Shown again in the Season 2 premiere, when Matt interrupts Turk while he's trying to sell a bunch of shotguns to potential costumers, overly praising them, only to then admit to Matt they couldn't even kill a rabbit.
* JiveTurkey: His demeanor, if not his lingo.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he gets the crap kicked out of him and proves to be a pretty incompetent arms dealer, Turk is still an unsavory criminal who gets involved in human trafficking and ends up being a vital part of Fisk's plan to wipe out the Russians.
* OpportunisticBastard: He readily sells out [[AntiVillain the Russians]] to Fisk, and in general tends to take dirty jobs rather than spearhead any plans himself.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's introduced trafficking young women. On top of that, he's a neglectful father.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Him accidentally stumbling into the room where Pop and Luke were talking to Chico triggers a chain of events that get's Pop killed.]]
* VillainCred: He's pretty impressed when Wesley explains the plan that led to the destruction of the Russians and their operations.

* BigBadEnsemble: With [[spoiler: the Hand in Season 2, though the Blacksmith plays a fairly passive role compared to them]]. Its Frank's search for him to avenge his family that drives the plot.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He is the only one who [[spoiler:has nice things to say about Castle during his trials]], making it all the more shocking that [[spoiler:he was the one responsible for his family's death]].
* BoomHeadshot: How he meets his end [[spoiler:at Frank's hands.]]

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: He eventually turns out to be [[spoiler:Frank's former officer]], a character who only showed up for a few minutes in an earlier episode as [[spoiler:a witness during Castle's trial.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: [[spoiler: A given with Clancy Brown;]] the Blacksmith has a deep gravely voice.
* AFatherToHisMen: After his identity is revealed, he is shown to be very upset that Frank killed one of his loyal soldiers. [[spoiler:One of his underlings, Gosnell, served under him during the war and had such fierce UndyingLoyalty for Schoonover that requested to serve him again as enforcer for his drug trade.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: When Karen meets him at his house for a chat, he is very warm and courteous. [[spoiler:It glides down once she realizes Schoonover is the Blacksmith Castle is looking for.]]
* FromCamouflageToCriminal: Before turning to crime, the Blacksmith was [[spoiler:a decorated Marine colonel and Frank Castle's commanding officer]]. Now he's a heroin kingpin described as importing pure heroin "by the metric ton".
* GreaterScopeVillain: He doesn't actively drive the plot for most of the season, but he was indirectly responsible for the death of Frank's family, making him the very reason the Punisher exists to begin with.
* KilledMidSentence: He was about to call Frank a "stupid son of a bitch", but was interrupted by [[spoiler:a bullet to the brain.]]

Now, Castle has demonstrated literally nothing to indicate that he's interested in that. All he's demonstrated is that he's a professional criminal.

A nightclub owner in Harlem who deals in illegal operations.
----
* AffablyEvil: Despite his brutal methods, he genuinely loves Harlem and thinks he's doing whats best for the people who live there. He's also very personable face-to-face, all smiles and handshakes.
* AscendedExtra: Cottonmouth is not a terribly prominent villain in the MarvelUniverse comics, but here, he's the BigBad of the ''Luke Cage'' TV series. [[spoiler:Only for the first half though.]]
* BadBoss: While he may have [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]], it's a bad idea to be a subordinate who gets on Cottonmouth's bad side. The lucky ones just get fired for annoying him. The ''unlucky'' ones get shot in the face or thrown off buildings, frequently with no warning.
* BaldOfEvil: He has very little hair, and is the resident BigBad.
* BerserkButton: Do '''not''' call him Cottonmouth. He doesn't like it.
* CryForTheDevil: [[spoiler:Cornell dies after confronting his cousin on the fact that she was protected by Maybel, while he was forced to get his hands bloodied, even killing the man who cared for him the most]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Is killed in the seventh episode of ''Luke Cage'', making way for Mariah and Diamondback to take his place as the BigBadEnsemble of season one]].
* TheDreaded: His own employees are afraid to go up to his balcony. Anyone with a modicum of sense knows to be afraid of Cottonmouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Stokes did care for Pop in his own way. When Pop is killed, Stokes furiously throws the murderer off the top of his club and is later seen weeping over an old photo of Pop.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: As cruel and greedy as he can be, Stokes does have a code. He believes that there are rules to the criminal lifestyle, and is angered when those rules are broken. He's also disgusted with Mariah's pretenses of legitimacy, seemingly viewing her as less honest than him.
* HiddenDepths: Cornell is a very gifted pianist, even keeping a Rhodes Mark II keyboard in his office. [[spoiler:As "Pistol" Pete mentions in flashbacks, he even had the talent as a child to go to Juilliard, but living under Mabel's influence made him decide to use his hands as blunt instruments instead]].
* InTheBlood: Cousin to Mariah Dillard, and raised with her by his crime boss grandmother, "Mama Mabel". The experience seems to have made quite an impression on him, as he equates crime with autonomy and empowerment.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: His comics counterpart isn't related to Mariah.
* SharpDressedMan: He tends to be very well-dressed, as befitting his status as a WickedCultured club owner.
* TheToothHurts: His nickname comes from an incident as a young street thug where three of his teeth were knocked out.
* TranquilFury: Don't be fooled by his [[BerserkButton moments of raw fury]]. It's when he's outwardly calm and composed that Cottonmouth is at his angriest, and consequently his most lethal.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: He was a gentle boy, played the piano. Then Mama Mabel made him beat a boy to death.
* VillainousBreakdown: Stokes comes from the Wilson Fisk Academy of Bad Guys where he's largely a genial sort, but can terrifyingly blow his top. When things go wrong, all the smiles and good humor in the world won't stop him from beating you to death with his bare hands until there's more blood outside than in.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: As part of his SharpDressedMan get-up, he has a very cool waistcoat.
* WickedCultured: He may be extremely ruthless and willing to get his hands dirty, but he's still a criminal of the classy variety, favoring a wardrobe of natty well-tailored suits and playing soul piano in his off-hours. He also has a poster of [[Music/TheNotoriousBIG Biggie as the King of New York]] [[PopCulturedBadass framed and hung in his office]], pointing to both his tastes and ambitions.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Alfre Woodard is certainly more pleasant to the eye than her counterpart in the comics.

* CorruptPolitician: She used donation money to build a nightclub.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Her comic counterpart is often called Black Mariah, which hasn't been the case here. Cornell mockingly refers to her by this name once. Mariah made sure it was ''only'' once.
* CorruptPolitician: Is a politician and, like her cousin, not a moral one. This is unlike her comic counterpart, who's merely a drug dealer.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She shows up at a community event, smiling and hugging every neighborhood kid she knows... and then, as the smile fades, she discreetly steps off to an aide, who offers her a squirt of hand sanitizer.

* InTheBlood: She's the cousin of Cornell Stokes (who she's reluctant to embrace either privately or publicly), and was raised with him by "Mama Mabel" Stokes, her criminal great-aunt. Rather than go for outright illegal activities like Cornell, Mariah was instead drawn to Mabel's fixings and dealings in Harlem and became a career politician. [[spoiler:The blood ties are made explicitly clear in "Manifest" where she viciously kills Cottonmouth in a rage, and she begins to act much more like Mabel from then on]].

His plans are briefly sunk when Diamondback himself decides to step in and take charge, but when Stryker is taken down, he becomes Mariah's new partner controlling the streets]].

* BaldOfEvil: A bald man whose EstablishingCharacterMoment shows his involvement in sexual slavery.
* ButtMonkey:
** After the introductory episode, a lot of his appearances involve things going south for him. His guns don't work properly, he gets beaten up by Daredevil ''really'' thoroughly ''twice'', and then the FBI arrests him. Given what he gets up to, it's deserved.
** This continues in the ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' prequel comic, where Jessica pays him a visit in the hospital where he's recuperating from being beaten up by Matt yet again. Jessica pulls out his IV and takes money from his wallet to pay off his child support.
** His first scene in Season 2 continues the streak by having Daredevil breaking his hand and throwing his car keys in the sea, ''right'' after he was released on parole.

* JiveTurkey: His demeanor, if not his lingo.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he gets the crap kicked out of him and proves to be a pretty incompetent arms dealer, Turk is still an unsavory criminal who gets involved in human trafficking and ends up being a vital part of Fisk's plan to wipe out the Russians.
* OpportunisticBastard: He readily sells out [[AntiVillain the Russians]] to Fisk, and in general tends to take dirty jobs rather than spearhead any plans himself.

A pawn shop owner in Hell's Kitchen.
----
* BatterUp: Castle kills him with a baseball bat to the head.
* DirtyOldMan: Peddles child porn, among other things, out of his store.
* ThoseWackyNazis: He is a neo-Nazi, if the swastika on his neck is any indication.
* TooDumbToLive: Castle visits him to buy a police scanner. At the buyer's request, he leaves himself completely vulnerable, selling buyer his gun and disconnecting the video camera (and giving the tape to the buyer). Considering the incredibly illegal sale he's just conducted (of stolen police equipment), this is already pretty dumb. But as Castle is walking out, he tries to sell him child pornography. Now, Castle has demonstrated literally nothing to indicate that he's interested in that. All he's demonstrated is that he's a professional criminal. And many real criminals despise child molesters and child pornography in general. Now, if the buyer was the average criminal, this probably wouldn't end well for the seller anyways. But it's The Punisher. The seller is so dense that even as Castle turns around and flips the sign in the door to "CLOSED" to prevent any witnesses from walking in, he still thinks he's making a sale, not about to get a baseball bat to the head.
