Where the guide talks about them (10)
His nemesis is Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin — a crime lord with genuine ambitions of civic improvement and an inability to be anything but a monster. Season 2 introduces Frank Castle, whose family was murdered in a botched operation and who responds by killing criminals rather than arresting them, and Elektra Natchios, tangled up with a shadowy organisation called the Hand. Season 3 introduces Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter — Bullseye — an FBI sharpshooter with a severe personality disorder and perfect aim, who Fisk identifies and manipulates into becoming a weapon.
The Punisher, Seasons 1–2 (2017, 2019) Frank Castle uncovers the military conspiracy behind his family's murder. Extremely violent, largely disconnected from the wider universe — which is the point.
Matt and Frank Castle team up in the finale; Castle is captured and caged in Fisk's Red Hook compound. Matt is driven into hiding and begins assembling a resistance of old allies. Karen Page survives.
The post-credits scene has Castle escaping — which leads into The Punisher: One Last Kill special.
A standalone Frank Castle special bridging his escape from Fisk's compound.
Peter Parker in a world that doesn't remember him, working street-level, watching MJ and Ned live lives he's no longer in. The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Hulk appear. Yelena Belova appears twice, as leader of the New Avengers, dismissing Peter's problems as "small potatoes."
On the Punisher: I don't have scene-level detail.
