* AdvertisedExtra: She was announced early on for the second season of ''Luke Cage'' along with Bushmaster and Tilda Johnson, but she only appears in the last two episodes. Likewise, her role in the third season of ''Daredevil'' is also a very minor one.
* AgeLift: In the comics, Rosalie Carbone was in her mid twenties. Here, she's in her late 50s.
* CastingGag: Guess [[Series/TheSopranos Gloria Trillo]] moved out of Jersey to be become a crime boss elsewhere after being threatened and traumatized by Tony's goons.

* TheMafia: She's a mob boss of Italian origin.
* NervesOfSteel:
** She watches Luke Cage rip through her office and guards and never even flinches, despite watching Luke get brutal and knowing how easily he could do the same or worse to her. She stares him down and calls his bluff, getting Luke to make a deal with her instead.
** When Fisk has Dex kill a mouthy boss at his forced meeting of crimelords he's extorting protection money from, Rosalie barely flinches, compliments Fisk on his ability to put on a show, and inquires on how to transfer money to him.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She has a very low opinion of African Americans' competency vis-à-vis organized crime, and no scruples about telling Mariah Dillard this to her face.
* TheQueenpin: She's the boss of her own TheMafia crime family.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, she's an enemy of Punisher. In the show, she's not involved with Frank in any form, instead getting tangled with Luke Cage and Mariah Dillard, and, later, with Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk.

* VillainousLegacy: Shades claims that her main motivation for making moves on Harlem is to accomplish the conquest of the area that her father attempted and failed to complete back in the day due to the opposition of Mama Mabel.

She later becomes an associate of Fisk's empire when he gets out of prison.
* WomanOfWealthAndTaste: She is always dressed in fashionable clothes and lives in a massive loft full of exquisite artwork and so impeccably furnished that even Luke is impressed.

Here, however, they are outright called the Kitchen Irish, with Finn Cooley leading the gang.

[[folder:Finn Cooley]]
!!''Finn Cooley''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cooley_finn.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Generosity is my defining trait."'']]
!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' Irish-American
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/TonyCurran
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}''

->''"Man takes my son. I lose a boy. He takes my money. I'm getting it back! We will beat every mother's son in this city till I have my money in my hands, and this shooter's on his knees, alive. Or there'll be more of you shining the inside of a box!"''

An Irish mobster with interests in both Ireland and New York.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Finn Cooley in [[ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX 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.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: He is prone to sudden bursts of violence and takes unidentified pills afterwards. Then again, it might be something purely physical like a heart condition where he needs to be careful about getting worked up. Or it could be some drug that he's addicted to that has a calming effect.
* AxCrazy: He comes off as more than 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. Best demonstrated when he nonchalantly ''thanks'' Castle for "thinning the herd" after he kills a few of his men. Either because he's happy he has less overhead to pay off when he gets his money, or because he considered them weak and better off dead than a burden to him. Neither are hallmarks of [[AFatherToHisMen great leaders]].
* BeardOfEvil: Finn is a violent, sadistic, psycho murderer with a full 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.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[spoiler:Replies to Frank asking who killed his family, his response is 'Who cares?' He might just be saying so as one last middle finger to him though.]]
* DecoyAntagonist: The manner of his arrival and his status as as TheLeader of the Kitchen Irish sets him up as a major antagonist for both Frank Castle and Daredevil. And then [[spoiler:he's killed in the same episode]].
* 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.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He turns up at his son's funeral, stabs an underling through the eye with an ice pick before popping pills for his nerves, turns over a filled coffin, and shrieks that he wants his money back. All of this establishes him as psychotic, cruel, unhinged and greedy.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Finn wants his money back, and puts that first, but his son's death is still a ''very'' touchy subject.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Promises Frank a quick end if he does as he's told, and spares Frank's dog when he finally agrees to do so.
* EvilRedhead: He has red hair and is a violent crime boss.
* EyeScream: When Seamus tells him that his son's death was just an occupational hazard of the business, Finn proceeds to kill the guy by stabbing him in the left eye with an ice pick, driving it all the way into his skull. Finn meets his own end with a point-blank shotgun round to his left eye courtesy of Frank Castle.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:A literal case; he breaks Frank by threatening to torture his dog in the same way he tortured Frank.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: He makes it clear to everyone around him that he is displeased about his son's death. Of course, he is more concerned about his money than he is about his kid.
* SkewedPriorities: Subverted; despite how generally erratic and violent he is, he knows that no gang war could ever return his son, so instead he pursues his lost money, which he ''can'' get back, with the added zeal of a man avenging the death of a loved one.
* ThisIsADrill: In true IRA style he bores through Frank's foot with a drill.
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: He tells the guy with a shotgun point blank to your head on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge for his family's death 'who cares' in response to being asked about said family's death. While getting mercy from the Punisher was highly unlikely, if he stalled for few seconds his minions would've been there.]]
* TortureTechnician: He's handy with a drill.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed in his first appearance. But damn if he didn't leave a memorable impression.
* WeHaveReserves: Naturally, when the Kitchen Irish corner Frank at the carousel, he manages to kill and wound a couple of them before they take him down with multiple tasers. Finn doesn't seem at all concerned about just having several of his men killed.
-->'''Finn:''' Thanks for thinning out the herd a little!

An Irish-American mob boss in Hell's Kitchen.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While he is a ruthless gang boss, he is nowhere near as disgusting as his comic counterpart, who was abusive to his relatives and sexually abusive to the female ones. [[spoiler:He also never promises an inheritance that turns out to be explosives, instead that is vaguely adapted when the Punisher robs money from the Kitchen Irish after the massacre and booby traps it]].
* AgeLift: He's a few decades younger than his comic counterpart.
* BadBoss: He clearly was about to use that bottle to kill an unruly member of the inner circle for an implied past betrayal, as a cap to his speech. [[spoiler:He doesn't get the chance.]]
* BaldOfEvil: He's a high-ranking mobster with a balding head.
* BigBadWannabe: Nesbitt is an intimidating crime lord about to launch a campaign of violence to win back Hell's Kitchen for the Irish. The Punisher makes short work of him and his inner circle within a space of three minutes. Furthermore, during a prison conversation between Fisk and Stewart Finney later on, Fisk implies that when he was on the street, he never did business with the Kitchen Irish because Nesbitt was too problematic.
* NewEraSpeech: After the fall of Fisk, he gives a speech to his underlings about how the Irish will rise again and take control of Hell's Kitchen. [[spoiler:He and all his men are then killed in a span of about five seconds.]]

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He wants to get out of Hell's Kitchen before the Punisher gets to him.
* SoleSurvivor: When the Punisher massacres the Irish mob meeting, Grotto has the good sense to take cover behind the bar and play dead. He is hit by a piece of shrapnel but manages to survive. Doesn't buy him much more than a couple of days.

->''"I don't have nightmares out here. I should never have discharged, Curtis. None of it, the heat, cold, sand, noise, fifty guys stinking up a dorm it never kept me up. Never bothered me. I slept good."''

A young veteran with very severe PTSD struggling to adjust to civilian life.

* AccidentalMurder: Nearly shoots and kills his dad reflexively after waking up from a bad PTSD-induced dream.
* BadassBookworm: Is knowledgable about the American constitution as well as being an ex-soldier.
* BloodKnight: Frank deduces that Lewis joined the Army because he wanted to fight and had a taste about how it feels, more than just serving the country.
* TheCorruptible: Lewis was not in a sound enough headspace to resist O'Connor's spiel. However, this doesn't mean corrupting vulnerable veterans is a safe pastime for would-be manipulators. PTSD is not a toy.
* DirtyCoward: He is accused by Frank face-to-face, and by Karen on the radio, of rank cowardice for bombing innocent civilians from a safe distance.
* DisproportionateRetribution: O'Connor [[PhonyVeteran lying about his service]] and using it to belittle actual combat veterans suffering from PTSD is heinous to be sure, [[spoiler: but Lewis probably didn't need to stab him to death over it]]. Then again, O'Connor ''did'' [[spoiler:reach for the knife first]].
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Lewis ultimately blows himself up after Frank gets him away from Karen and locks him inside a freezer. LampShaded by him reciting the Kipling poem 'The Young British Soldier' which is about a soldier in Afghanistan being encouraged to kill himself to spare himself from a worse fate.]]
* {{Foil}}: To his [[TheCorrupter corrupter]] O'Connor, who is undeniably [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist]]. Lewis himself isn't actually racist, but it looks as if he was one since some of his victims are minorities. He also at least recognizes that Curtis was trying to help on the behalf of Lewis's own father no less, even if Lewis [[MenDontCry stubbornly refuses the help]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: For somebody talking so much about rights (including his freedom of assembly when he's arrested on the steps of the courthouse), Lewis seems pretty set on killing Karen because "she should not be allowed to write what she did."
** What makes this hypocrisy especially galling is that all military personnel have to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment, which explicitly covers both ''Freedom of Speech'' and ''Freedom of the Press,'' making him as Un-American as such [[SarcasmMode "Patriots"]] get.
* InsaneTrollLogic: After realizing that O'Connor had lied about everything, one would think Lewis would re-evaluate his belief in O'Connor's "white Christians are oppressed, the government is coming for our guns" rhetoric. But no, after O'Connor was exposed, Lewis became even more dedicated to the views that he espoused, to the point of becoming a MadBomber.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: The result of his crummy life as a veteran, PTSD flashbacks, and O'Connor's toxic influence and right-wing rethoric.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: For all his flaws, his killing of [[TheCorrupter O'Connor]] is very damn satisfying.
* MadBomber: He sets off several bombs targeted at law enforcement and then mails a manifesto to Karen. Later, he tries to target Karen and Senator Ori during an interview.
* MadnessMantra: Begins to recite poems to try and keep his mind in balance the more unhinged he became.
* MenDontCry: He refuses to take the real help when offered it. Staying with the group and taking Curtis' "touchy-feely" advice to work on himself would have been the better thing to do than Just Blame Everybody.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Frank explains to Lewis that his crimes have ensured his father's life will be ruined, it reduces him to a complete breakdown capped off by suicide.
* NeverMyFault: Frank remembers him as a kid who blames everyone else for his problems.
* NotSoSimilar: Despite claiming to Frank that they're [[NotSoDifferentRemark not so different]] Lewis never truly suffers ''real'' loss like [[CrusadingWidower Frank]] had and [[NeverMyFault never takes responsibility for his actions]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/thepunisher/comments/7xipul/spoiler_a_list_of_similarities_between_lewis_and/ Lewis appears to be heavily inspired]] by Oklahoma City bomber Timothy [=McVeigh=].
* PetTheDog:
** Frank is actually able to convince him to tell him which wire to cut so he can save Curtis' and his own life.
** After he kills an Anvil employee at his home, he notices two budgies in a cage and spends a good while trying to convince them to fly away to freedom.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Lewis's subplot is, on the face of, very detached from the main story arc of the first season which centers on Frank's revenge against a GovernmentConspiracy, with just a few interactions with the A-plot. However, it does illustrate what Frank maintained in ''Daredevil'' -- his is not ''simply'' a case of willfully-ignored PTSD gone terroristly ballistic.
* PrefersRocksToPillows: One of the early signs he's becoming unhinged is that he cannot sleep well on his home's bed, so he digs a foxhole in the backyard and sleeps there (even if it's November and it's freezing outside, as Curtis points out when he finds him there).
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: His entire subplot is his road to becoming one of these, from regular "something is not right with my life" pitiful veteran through "loose-cannon risk" veteran (which prevents him from being hired by Anvil) and straight to "the system is shit and it's best I kill everything that I think is corrupt" veteran.
* SanitySlippage: He grows more and more unhinged on account of his [=PTSD=], eventually becoming a mass murdering terrorist who's convinced himself he's a freedom fighter.
* ShadowArchetype: The entire purpose of his subplot seems to be an answer to the accusations of fascism that the Punisher has long faced, letting Frank himself refute this ideology and show what makes him someone worth rooting for on some level.
* ShellShockedVeteran: He's having difficulty getting readjusted to life back home, and is attending Curtis Hoyle's support group. He eventually loses his chance to work for [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Anvil]] because Curtis sees all of the signs of severe (as in "on the road to becoming a SociopathicSoldier") PTSD and warns Russo of it.
* ShoutOut
** Veteran soldier that drives a taxi in New York City and becomes increasingly unhinged because his shell-shock is making it hard for him to adapt back into society and decides to commit a violent act on a politician to show he's fed up? [[Film/TaxiDriver Now where have we heard that before]]? ([[InUniverse Curtis even asks Frank]] [[LampshadeHanging if that rings any bells to him]] when he first talks about Lewis).
** Daniel Webber's performance also calls back to his portrayal of Lee Harvey Oswald in ''[[Literature/ElevenTwentyTwoSixtyThree 11/22/63]]''
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's small potatoes compared to Agent Orange and Billy Russo but his attack on the Senator is the catalyst that leads to Frank and Madani learning the truth about Russo as he attempts to kill both of them in the chaos of Lewis' bombing.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Lewis begins believing [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic O'Connor's]] rhetoric about the decline of their country and the need to change it. WordOfGod even says things might've turned out differently for him if he hadn't met O'Connor.
* WesternTerrorists: He eventually becomes one, hoping to use fear to tear down what he views as a corrupt system.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Though he's killed by the end of the first episode of the Punisher series, his actions lead to Frank killing the Gnucci's in order to protect Donnie, which catches Micro's attention and kicks off the plot for the rest of the season.
* SmugSnake: He thinks it's a smart idea to rip off the very loan shark he owes money to.
* StupidCrooks: Decides to rip off a bunch of Mafiosi in a badly-managed hold up, including bringing along Donnie, a civilian who clearly has no criminal experience (as a last minute replacement because the fourth man broke his arm in an accident on the work site earlier that day), who he then tries to kill when things go south.

He also mocks Russo for the time that he broke his arm for defending himself, and makes racist comments when asking about Russo's scars. Billy Russo is pushed over the edge and stabs Walsh with a plunger, and When Frank Castle finds out, he is glad he is dead.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Arthur Walsh, who initially seems like a decent guy turns out to have not changed since his days as a sexually abusive coach at all.
* KarmicDeath: Years later after having his career in tatters, Arthur gets killed by the same kid who he broke the arm of and whom before getting scarred, had a much more successful career than Arthur ever did.

* PedophilesAreEvil: An old child sex offender living in poverty and disgrace after serving time in prison for his crimes. A particularly vile example of his actions was injuring Billy Russo when he was a child after he attempted to fight off his advances, Billy remarks that his shoulder always hurt when he pitched in baseball games after his arm was healed and the pain and memories of the incident took away any joy he got from the game. Upon hearing of his death, Frank simply remarks that he is glad Walsh is dead and he deserved what he got and Madani was only upset being unable to prevent his death because she failed to capture Billy.
* UngratefulBastard: What Arthur thinks the kids (including Billy) he molested are, after everything he's done for him.
* WouldHurtAChild: What he did throughout his career before Billy and the other kids thankfully ended it.

A pawn shop owner based in Greenwich Village.

* AssholeVictim: A child porn peddler beat to death. [[LastDisrespects Given that he's never shown or even mentioned again despite being a Punisher casualty, it's implied that the NYPD didn't really investigate his death all too much either, if at all.]]
* 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: Frank Castle visits him to buy a police scanner. At the buyer's request, he leaves himself completely vulnerable, selling Frank his gun and disconnecting the video camera (and giving the tape to him). 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 [[EvenEvilHasStandards many real criminals are parents who 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.

->''"That tin in my trunk couldn't kill a rabbit."''

An independent low-to-mid level criminal in Hell's Kitchen and Harlem crime circles. Turk is an opportunistic bastard who has the uncanny (and unlucky) habit of running into super-powered people and getting beat up by them.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: The Hand takes to trying to cut off his foot once they find Karen has activated his ankle monitor that allows for their position to be tracked, and they make some progress before Matt intervenes.
* ArmsDealer: He sells firearms illegally out of his car trunk. They don't work.
* BaldOfEvil: A bald man who's a criminal.
* BeardOfEvil: It goes with his beard.
* 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 Matt ''really'' thoroughly ''twice'', and then the FBI arrests him. Given what he gets up to, it's deserved.
** This continues in the ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'' 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.
** Right after making parole, he's reduced to selling twenty-gauge shotguns out of his car. He doesn't last long before Matt breaks his hand and then throws his car keys into the water.
** He gets kidnapped by the Hand for being connected to Matt, and his foot is almost cut off when they discover his tracking anklet.
** In a matter of hours, he simply loses a game of chess to Bobby Fish. Then he's immediately threatened by Misty Knight to stay out of the neighborhood, and then, after snitching Chico out, he gets chased off by Cottonmouth without the money that Tone had promised, due to Cottonmouth killing Tone in front of him.
** Luke interrogates him by crushing a dumpster with Turk inside and leaves him shut in there overnight, with baby diapers for company.
** He gets roughed up by Luke behind an uptown bar for information on murders the Hand have been committing in Harlem.
** Frank Castle goes to see him to get some guns for his one-man war on crime, only for Turk to have nothing since his supplier decided to go with a different distributor. Well, nothing but a bright pink Ruger rifle intended as a "sweet sixteen" present for a gangster's daughter. Turk actually gets out of this one surprisingly easily, considering who he's dealing with, as Frank apparently considers Turk too pathetic to be worth killing. But when he does return to the lair, Frank makes clear to David he won't be using the pink Ruger anytime soon.
** Miraculously averted for the very first time in ''Jessica Jones'' Season 2, where he simply provides Jeri Hogarth with a gun, without any kind of humiliation whatsoever.
** Back to it in the second season of ''Luke Cage'', as he's now reduced to running a cannabis dispensary. Luke breaks one of his more expensive bongs for information.
** Ward mocks his swing and the fact he sells guns from a van by the river.
** In the second season of the Punisher, Turk finds Frank sitting in the back seat of his car. ''"[[OhCrap Oh, hell no.]]"'' is the first thing he says, and really, is pretty much the story of his life. Preceding this, Turk is blackmailed, threatened, held at gunpoint at the mercy of the Russians, nearly beaten, nearly killed, then used as bait all within the span of a single episode.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He was introduced as a cruel man involved in human trafficking and sexual slavery. Later appearances depict him as a mostly AffablyEvil ineffectual criminal and even a FriendlyNeighborhoodGangster that hangs with Bobby Fish.
* ChronicVillainy: No matter how many times he gets beaten up by superheroes and arrested, Turk somehow always finds his way back into crime, just in time to run into another (or the same) heroes again.
* DisappearedDad: He has multiple baby mommas, and yet despite being a moderately successful crook he hasn't paid child support to any of them.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While he's willing to work with guys like Diamondback and Fisk, even Turk views Zip as a disappointment compared to Romeo.
* HiddenDepths: He's ''somehow'' actually able to sense Danny's chi and see his aura, instantly recognizing him as the one who fought Madame Gao. He actually catches Danny's interest for a second before [[ButtMonkey Luke interrupts and shuts him up.]]
* HollywoodHealing: You would never know Turk nearly had his foot cut off by the Hand, not even so much as having a limp, when Luke interrogates him for information on Diamondback's base. Note that this was an attack that seemed to have occurred fairly recently, as Claire came to Harlem shortly after the attack on the hospital.
* 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 customers, overly praising them, only to then admit to Matt they couldn't even kill a rabbit.
* HumiliationConga: Turk's entire life-story, back-to-front bound in leather. He exists solely to give out important pieces of information to the main characters at the cost of a humiliating, and usually painful, experience. The second season of ''The Punisher'' pretty much takes everything bad that's happened to Turk throughout the MCU, [[HistoryRepeats and resells it]] [[UpToEleven within the span of a single episode]].
* JiveTurkey: His demeanor, if not his lingo.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite all the humiliations he goes through, he always gets away unscathed in the end. Given that he was involved in things like human trafficking or Pop's death, the audience can get a tad bit annoyed by this.
* MeaningfulName: Possibly nicknamed after the Turk, a chess-playing automaton of the late 18th century. It was a hoax, actually controlled by a secret operator. After all, Turk plays chess, and [[HonestJohnsDealership frequently lies to people]].
* 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. And while being a joke for Luke, Matt, and Misty, he remains stoic dealing with the likes of Cottonmouth and Diamondback and even has the nerve to get past Cottonmouth's office in Harlem's Paradise to ask for his money back.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Turk has an uncanny ability to pretty much appear anywhere. Cornell Stokes calls him out on this as he [[RefugeInAudacity randomly and brazenly shows up during a tense scene demanding his money.]]
* OpportunisticBastard: Turk tends to take dirty jobs rather than spearhead any plans himself. This is why he'll betray criminals to dangerous bosses, like selling the Russians out to Fisk, or ratting out Chico to Cottonmouth.
* PetTheDog: Offers Vladimir his condolences for Anatoly's murder.
* PlotArmor: If Frank won't kill you after finding you dealing weapons, chances are nothing will.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's introduced trafficking young women. On top of that, he's a neglectful father.
* RecurringExtra: While the Hand are the GreaterScopeVillain of the Defenders Saga, Turk is the only villain that ends up appearing in all the ''Defenders'' shows.
* ReformedCriminal: By ''Luke Cage'' season 2, he's apparently left his arms dealing business and has opened up a head shop. Immediately undone in ''Iron Fist'' season 2, as he is who Walker and Ward buy their guns from. Old habits die hard, though ''The Punisher'' season 2 establishes that he is still running his shop.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Turk plays. [[SubvertedTrope Badly.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks:
** Turk is one of the many with ties to Matt who get kidnapped by The Hand. After some coaxing from Karen, Turk activates his parole bracelet to notify the cops.
** Turk accidentally stumbling into the barbershop while Pop and Luke are talking to Chico triggers a chain of events that gets Pop killed, Luke going all out against Cottonmouth, and a gang war between Cottonmouth and Domingo.
** The infamous Tone incident also marks Turk as one of only five people who knew Cornell threw him off a rooftop. Given [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Turk's reputation]], he's instantly ruled out as the snitch which ultimately means Comanche was Ridenhour's CI - all of which culminates into tragedy.
* TheStoolPigeon: He has enough connections to know what's going on in New York's underworld and cowardly enough to talk under pressure from Matt or Luke.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He gets Pop killed by ratting out Chico and thus kickstarts a gang war in Harlem.
* VillainCred: He's pretty impressed when Wesley explains the plan that led to the destruction of the Russians and their operations.
-->'''Turk''': Got mad respect for a smart move.
* VillainDecay: A rare example that works really, really well and makes the character ''more'' popular with the fan-base. He ends up the butt-monkey, working his way ''down'' the criminal food chain and always getting his ass kicked, but when we first meet him? He's participating in ''trafficking slaves'' at $1000 a head.
-->'''Turk:''' If you keep quiet, I'll let you have a bucket. If not... [fires up cattle prod]
* VillainsOutShopping: Sometimes he just wants to relax and play chess.
* WickedCultured: Is versed in Greek mythology, as he has to explain to Zip who Icarus was.

One of the boys who robbed Cottonmouth in the series premier of ''Luke Cage'', friends with Dante Chapman and Chico Diaz. He is the one who shot first, and he shoots Dante when it looks like Dante might snitch.

* ConspicuousConsumption: [[spoiler:After stealing from Cottonmouth, he immediately starts spending copious amounts of cash at a local strip club. This gets him caught.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: Spat in Cotton's face, which meant that he could start beating him like a man.]]
* FalseFriend: He chose money over friendship and killed Dante when the latter freaked out, fearing Cottonmouth would realize the robbery was an inside job.
* JerkAss: The first thing we see of him is him insulting Luke and getting into a petty argument with him, giving Luke a chance to show how noble he is in comparison. Specifically, he viewed himself as a [[BlatantLies successful rapper]] in New York City and often mocked Luke for his job, which he viewed as a lesser career than his own. A middle-class (if not low-class) young man with dirty job doing a KickTheDog (not to mention BullyingADragon) to an older man with honest job? ''[[SarcasmMode That's rich.]]''
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:He robs from Cottonmouth, which is suicidal in of itself. He then starts spending his money foolishly and conspicuously, which gets him caught.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: If not for his pulling his two friends into a plan to rob Cottonmouth, and his needlessly violent and traceable way of doing the job, he, his friends and Pop would've still been alive. Luke wouldn't have had a reason to get involved and so Cottonmouth and Mariah's rises to power may have gone on unabated - with Cottonmouth still alive - and Diamondback would never have found Luke and had a reason to inflict his swath of destruction upon Harlem. He dies quickly, but the entire plot happens because of him.]]
* YoungGun: He did pull his heist and killed a few people but he isn't wise enough to survive the consequence.

A SerialKiller who ends up in a feud with Jessica Jones. He has an obsession with people he thinks are getting more than their due.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: How he sees himself as expressed in his conversation with Erik:
--> '''Greg:''' Evil is the wrong word. I am asserting fairness in an unfair world. I'm vengeful. Without pity, appropriately cruel.
* AbusiveParents: His father, was this, clearly favoring his brother Donny over Gregory. Sallinger describes how at the funeral lunchon, his dad told him YouShouldHaveDiedInstead, and then stabbed him in the chest.
* TheAce: He's got degrees in four different fields, is a skilled wrestler and fighter, a master manipulator and deceiver, and just generally seems to be great at everything.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, Gregory Salinger tends to go after [[AssholeVictim supervillains and other odious people.]] In the show, his victims seem to be guilty of nothing worse than getting more praise than he thinks they deserve. This does make him more in line with the previous Foolkillers in the comics.

* AllegoricalCharacter: Something here for everyone. He's the entitled white man who can't stand that anyone has as much as him, won't admit he has plenty, and won't accept that people want more out of someone than natural talent. He's also the brat who thinks he gets to decide what better people he's never met deserve. He only understands flaws, because if he acknowledged virtue, he'd have to admit his own.

* ArmouredClosetGay: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. One of his former targets is a gay chef, who thought that Sallinger had tied him up and beat him [[TooDumbToLive as part of a BDSM role play]]. When the chef kissed him, Sallinger freaked out so bad that he fled the scene immediately, and never came after the man again, leaving him as the only one of his victims to ever survive.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Deconstructed. His death by Trish was well-deserved, however, it is still treated as a bad thing within the show, as it shows Trish going off the deep end.]]
* AxCrazy: The epitome of this. He's easily one of the '''most''' deranged enemies Jessica Jones had to face, and that's saying a lot!
* BadassNormal: He has no special powers beyond normal training, education, and intelligence. He still gives several different superhumans a run for their money. In fact, it is the fact that he ''is'' normal that makes him feel superhumans have an unfair advantage, and are thus worthy of being his targets.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Salinger seems to have genuinely convinced himself that his killings serve a higher purpose rather than just being an outlet for his anger and an excuse for him to indulge his sadism.
* BerserkButton: Being told how much killing people gets him off, not because of some righteous crusade. When being called out for killing an innocent like Dorothy Walker, he furiously held a knife to Jessica's throat, saying that he killed Dorothy to punish Jessica and Trish.
** As befits his gargantuan ego, he also really hates when anyone outsmarts him or even tries or shows him up at anything, as seen in his barely concealed rage when Jessica humiliates him in front his the wrestling class he teaches. He also gets furious when his victims resist his efforts and don't break as he wants them to.
* BigBadEnsemble: While Gregory starts off as the BigBad for ''Jessica Jones'' 3rd Season, Trish Walker starts going off the deep end and the two become individual threats that Jessica has to face. [[spoiler: Then Trish kills off Gregory becoming the sole BigBad for the final episode.]]
* BigBadWannabe: While being a SerialKiller definitely makes him a dangerous threat, being a regular human being with minimal resources will only get you so far in the MCU. [[spoiler: Then Trish kills him, already outranking him in terms of threat level.]]
* BrokenAce: He's brilliant, accomplished, a talented athlete and a popular figure in his community. He's also a truly deranged and sadistic monster.
* TheChessmaster: He's usually two steps ahead of everyone else and is skilled at predicting people's reactions.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never referred to as "Foolkiller," his supervillain name from the comics.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To both the preceeding ones.
** Kilgrave and Alisa were both superpowered people, while Sallinger is a BadassNormal who [[FantasticRacism hates superpowered people.]]
** Kilgrave was spoiled and entitled due to always having gotten everything he wanted due to his powers, while Alisa had tremendous brute force and no self-control, both of which are attributes Sallinger ascribes to ''all'' supers.
** Kilgrave was [[FauxAffablyEvil suave and charming]] and Alisa had [[TragicVillain a tragic backstory that elicited sympathy,]] while Sallinger is a sullen JerkAss with no redeeming features.
** Kilgrave and Alisa both didn't officially exist, while Sallinger uses the fact that he's [[VillainWithGoodPublicity a citizen in good standing]] to his advantage.
** Kilgrave stood out as a British man in a purple suit, while Alisa was a tall woman who looked so disheveled she was mistaken for being homeless, (and that not including her baldness). Sallinger looks like a [[TheyLookLikeEveryoneElse a normal middle-aged man]], that allows him to blend in a matter of seconds.
** Finally, both Kilgrave and Alisa were haunting figures from Jessica's past, while Sallinger is just a random SerialKiller that she ran into due to a chance meeting.
** He's also a major one to Karl Malus. While both are extremely intelligent and capable, Karl used his intellect for groundbreaking research that, despite his questionable practices, really did help many people and even gave some enhanced abilities, Salinger meanwhile has not used his intellect for anything but his murders and bolstering his own ego and he absolutely hates people with enhanced abilities and shows no interest in anything but murder. While Karl had a respectful and mutually loving relationship with Alisa, Salinger never expresses any kind of interest in romance and physical intimacy seems to be the only thing that unsettles him. And while Karl was a [[CoolOldGuy kind, humble and sincerely charming older man]] who regretted many of his shadier actions, Salinger is spiteful, petty, sadistic, enormously egotistical younger man whose only acts of friendliness are just a facade and who never expresses any remorse for his various crimes.
* CreepyMonotone: He usually speaks in a low, almost drawling voice with little emotion that sounds borderline robotic at times. It's seriously unnerving, especially when he has his victims captured.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: He has four degrees, including one in law, but doesn't use any of them to find work, living off the settlement from his brother's death.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:While at first Sallinger panics and asks for mercy, he actually puts up a fight against Trish and spitefully tells her that Jessica will now see her for what she really is when she is about to beat him to death.]]
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Killing Dorothy wound up being rife with this. He fully expected Jessica to come after him for revenge and even planned to record a predicted assault by her to get her arrested. He made a glaring oversight in how close Jessica and Dorothy actually were but also clearly didn't consider that the rage he was hoping to incite might reach homicidal levels. He spends the entire time Trish is after him scared for his life.]]
* DirtyCoward: When Salinger is faced with an actual threat and can't turn the situation to his favor or fight back, his arrogance becomes a thin cover for genuine fear. When Trish confronts him in hospital, he tries to act like he is still in control but is clearly frightened as he knows how vulnerable he is. He also pitifully attempts to flee when Trish tracks him down later.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He is the BigBad for the 3rd season right up until the penultimate episode where Trish kills him. She then takes for as the main antagonist for the season finale.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: His whole MO is to kill anyone who gets acclaim he feels they don't deserve. He even targets a Michelin star chef solely for making a steak that was slightly overdone.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Put simply his assessment of Jessica is not accurate. He pins down some of her flaws but is ''way'' off base about her other qualities.
* EvilCounterpart: Unintentional, but he has a lot in common with Frank Castle, aka the Punisher. Both men are [[GeniusBruiser very intelligent, very strong physically]], and live under their own philosophy and morals to punish those who deserve it according to them. However, the big difference is that while Frank Castle is a VigilanteMan who only kills criminals, Salinger is a [[ThePerfectionist perfectionist]] defined by envy and spite towards anyone he feels has more than him and considers the slightest imperfection proof of being a fraud.
* EvilGenius: He's undeniably brilliant while also being an absolute monster.
* EvilIsPetty: He often goes the extra mile to be needlessly unpleasant to people who annoy him. In fact, what started his career as a SerialKiller in the first place was being an unfavorite compared to his brother who didn't really accomplish anything, and now he takes it out on anyone he considers frauds.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Downplayed but he's a villain and his voice is noticeably deeper than other male characters on the show such as Erik or Malcolm.
* {{Expy}}: As a brilliant but enormously arrogant man who hates super powered beings, supposedly for philosophical reasons but mainly because they threaten his fragile ego, and repeatedly shows he has no limits in what he'll do to hurt them, Salinger is arguably the MCU equivalent of ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* FantasticRacism: He despises superpowered people, considering them the epitome of unearned privilege.
* FatalFlaw: He actually has a few that continually wind up self-sabotaging his plans.
** His arrogance. He ''cannot'' resist running his mouth and proving how much smarter he is than those he looks down on. Jessica gets on his trail to start with because he outright admits to attacking her and gloats about how she won't be able to do anything about it rather than shake her off with the "scared mouse act" when he finds out she's investigating him. Erik's DetectEvil abilities left him as a possible suspect but Jessica had nothing concrete to believe he was responsible for attacking her until that moment.
** Impulsiveness. When he feels slighted Salinger ''will'' seek revenge at the earliest possible opportunity, regardless of long term consequences. [[spoiler: Jessica finally traps him because she knows he'll be coming after her soon enough and took precautions ahead of time]].
** Sadism. It's not enough for him to just kill people, they have to be broken wrecks by the time he's finished. If his BreakingSpeech fails and his victims don't react as he wants, he tends to react badly. He actually left an intended victim alive because they mistook his methods for [=BDSM=] actions and responded intimately, freaking him out to the point he fled and never considered dealing with the loose end. [[spoiler: Jessica exhorts his confession to Dorothy's murder by defying his BreakingSpeech to her and delivering one of her own to him, leading to an angry admission because he can't stand that she's still fighting]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's capable of putting on a good act of being a likable, mild-mannered person and people who know him speak of him as such. He's managed to stay on good terms with people from his hometown, who have even described him as "sweet", and is popular among the kids he coaches in wrestling and their parents, none of whom have any clue what kind of monster Salinger truly is.
* ForTheEvulz: For all his talk about asserting fairness, it's made abundantly clear that Salinger kills mainly because he enjoys inflicting pain on others. Best exemplified by the fact that he insists on his victims being mentally broken before killing them and seems unable to go through with if if they aren't.
* FreudianExcuse: He was a WellDoneSonGuy who was completely overshadowed by Donny, his BigBrotherBully. When Donny died, Mr. Salinger ''stabbed'' Greg at the funeral luncheon while telling him YouShouldHaveDiedInstead.
--> '''Greg:''' I was the artist, I even won a contest once, but dad and Donny, they had said the judges had chosen the winner at random, they laughed at how proud I was.
* GeniusBruiser: He's both very intelligent and physically strong and a very skilled combatant and wrestler, able to easily overpower most normal people he encounters.
* GreenEyedMonster: One of his defining character traits is his envy. He was always jealous of his father's favoritism towards his brother, a reaction acerbated by how abusive it was. He killed his first murder victim - his teenhood friend Nathan - because he received various recruiting offers on their wrestling team and he didn't. Overtime, his general envy to those with more talent and success than him warped into an overachievement streak and the desire to kill those he deems frauds.
* HatesBeingTouched: Salinger seems absolutely repulsed by the idea of physical intimacy and it's one of the few things to get him to drop his guard or show genuine discomfort. His only surviving victim escaped due to mistaking Salinger's binding for a BDSM game and responding with a kiss which freaked Salinger out so much he abandoned his planned murder.
* HateSink: There's something truly despicable about how Sallinger has crowned himself the decider of who deserves what they have as well as his hypocrisy, sadism and enormous ego. His gloating as he gets away with his truly monstrous actions makes this even more pronounced.
* TheHeavy: He directly targets Jessica and her trying to indict him is what drives most of the plot for Season 3. He is also responsible for [[spoiler:Trish's FaceHeelTurn by murdering her mother.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: One of Sallinger's favourite methods when going against Jessica and Trish is to bug his apartment, then play the victim as the two super-powered women's attempts to stop him are caught on tape. [[spoiler:Jessica eventually gets him sent to jail by using the exact same trick to get an EngineeredPublicConfession out of him when he makes a final attempt on her life.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: He claims to be trying to expose people's true motivations. The hypocrisy comes from the fact that ''that'' is not ''his'' true motivation - he kills people because he gets off on it, and then dresses it up as a righteous crusade.
** Related to the above, his anger at those who give out a false image to hide their true nature doesn't stop him from pretending to be a normal, law-abiding citizen or an innocent victim of harassment when he needs to or giving off a false image that he's a likable, good-natured person. He also hates super powered people for supposedly being arrogant when that is one of his own defining traits.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: It's heavily implied that his arrogance hides a very fragile ego that wants to drag other accomplished people down to keep them from overshadowing him.
* InsufferableGenius: Is very smart, having gained a wide range of diplomas from different fields, and won't hesitate to remind you of that at any given opportunity.
* {{Jerkass}}: Even when he's not killing people, he's generally rude, condescending, sullen and unpleasant.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: He spends almost the entire season narrowly avoiding being caught for the murders he has committed but finally winds up arrested because of Jessica. [[spoiler: And brutally killed by Trish because of said arrest.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Trish beats him to death as payback for killing her mother.]]
* KnifeNut: His preferred weapons and method of torture and he's quite skilled with them in combat too.
* MeaningfulName: He kills those he deems "frauds" and surname is the same as J.D. Salinger, author of ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'', a book about a character who hates those he deems "phonies".
* TheMentallyDisturbed: Sallinger is clearly not right in the head. In "I Wish," he is seen talking to himself weepingly at the beginning of the episode.
* MugglePower: While his victim may vary, he holds a particular hatred towards [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Enhanced]] individuals, seeing them as the embodiment of unearned privilege and source of all of the "unfairness" in society.
* {{Narcissist}}: And how! He's enormously arrogant, has an absolutely massive yet extremely fragile ego, has an absurdly inflated opinion of himself, seeing himself as a noble crusader for fairness rather than a twisted sadist, expects respect while treating everyone he encounters like an insect and is incensed at the idea of someone getting acclaim he determines they don't deserve and sees them as a threat to his own ego.
* NotMeThisTime: Jessica believes that his first kill was his brother, who he envied for being their father's favorite. That particular death was actually an accident and he was away when it happened.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist : While he makes various good points about other people, his belief in unmasking the privileged and the fraudulent comes from a personal sense of envy and ignorance. Furthermore, his choice of victims however shows that what he does is less of a crusade and more of an excuse to kill, applying his homicidal desires under arbitrary standards of what is genuine and fraudulent.
* ThePerfectionist: A twisted version. He holds people to an impossible standard and considers the slightest imperfection proof of being a fraud. For example, he targets a renowned chef for execution because his steak is slightly too well done.
* PsychopathicManchild: Salinger is remarkably immature, especially for someone with the intellect and achievements he has. Many of his scenes of him boasting about his genius make him seem less like an intellectual titan and more like a smug, gloating teenager and his obsession with seeing his victims at their lowest before killing them is similar to a schoolyard bully deriving pleasure from another's suffering. It's made clear that, for all his brilliance and his lofty opinion of himself, Salinger is ultimately nothing more than an overgrown child upset that others are getting more praise than him and taking his anger out on them as a result.
* PsychoticSmirk: Never does he not have a little smirk on his face. It only adds to his insanity.
* RefugeInAudacity: His first victim was a close high school friend. He buried the boy in his parents' back yard, helped them construct a gazebo over the grave, and aided the parents in searching for the son he had murdered.
* TheResenter: For all his lofty ideals, it's made clear that this is all Salinger really is at his core, a man furious at seeing others have what he doesn't and getting what he feels they don't deserve and lashing out at the world for not appreciating him as much as he feels he warrants.
* {{Sadist}}: One of the '''most''' horrific examples of the MCU. His favorite hobby is killing and torturing people while mocking them with the moment of their despair, making sure they are completely broken before he kills them.
* SerialKiller: He kills people he considers to be "frauds", [[ThePerfectionist from those who make even the slightest mistake]] to {{Differently Powered Individual}}s.
* SlasherSmile: He sports some truly nightmarish ones.
* SmugSnake: Despite his undeniable skill and genuine menace, his childishness and the fact that he ''just won't stop'' gloating even when things are objectively going badly for him keeps him from being truly magnificent.
* TheSociopath: He gives off this vibe, between his creepy stares, complete lack of empathy and exaggerated self-image. Unlike Benjamin Poindexter in ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'', he doesn't even bother with hiding it either. He is ''so'' bad that [[DetectEvil Erik Gelden]] feels ''significant'' pain from just being near him, to the point of TearsOfBlood and a PsychicNosebleed.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Never does he raise the tone of his voice to anyone; even when he about to kill someone, Sallinger keeps his cool. The only time he does emote and lose his cool is with Jessica when [[spoiler:he gloats about killing Dorothy and when he knows Trish is about to attack him, ultimately killing him.]]
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: One of the chilling things about Sallinger is how he looks like an average middle age man complete with thinning hair. One telling scene happens in an early episode. After he cleans up the crime scene of his latest murder victim, he leaves the man's apartment with his chopped up body in a carrying case and seamlessly blends into the New York crowd as he is leaving the area almost disappearing out of sight.
* TheUnfavorite: To his brother Donny, who he considered to be far inferior to him. This apparently started his obsession with people getting undeserved praise.
* UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler: Jessica's attempts to protect him from Trish don't earn her any respect for Salinger or stop him from trying to murder her when he has the chance.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: He's genuinely good at seeing through the lies people tell themselves and spotting their hidden flaws and hypocrisies. He just can't turn it on himself.
* VillainRespect: Jeri seems to be the only person in the series he has any respect for since he sees her as a kindred spirit, someone who earned her position and success through hard work. Of course he's still rude and dismissive even to her.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's got no criminal record and everyone who's met him (and lived) describes him as a NiceGuy.
* WouldHitAGirl: While almost all of his victims were male, he has no problem in killing women.
* WouldHurtAChild: One of Sallinger's first victims was a boy.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: One of his go-to strategies. He's got a knack for presenting himself as the injured party, an easy thing to do when the attackers are vigilantes.

* ManipulativeBastard: He's the one who gets the idea of [[spoiler: conning Hogarth into believing he will heal her from her ALS only to ransack her apartment once she's distracted.]]

* DirtyCoward: When Salinger is faced with an actual threat and can't turn the situation to his favor or fight back, his arrogance becomes a thin cover for real fear. When Trish confronts him in hospital, he tries to act like he is still in control but is clearly frightened as he knows how vulnerable he is. He also pitifully attempts to flee when Trish tracks him down later.

* HateSink: There's something truly despicable about how Sallinger has crowned himself the decider of who deserves what they have. His gloating as he gets away with his truly monstrous actions makes this even more pronounced.
