William "Billy the Beaut" Russo, better known asJigsaw, is a major antagonist in theMarvel Universe, serving as the main antagonist of thePunisher franchise.
Initially an attractive, yet ruthless hitman, Russo's face was horribly mutilated during an encounter with the violent vigilante known as thePunisher. Taking on the name "Jigsaw" to reflect his scarred features, Russo has since dedicated his life to destroying the Punisher by any means necessary, becoming the latter's archenemy in the process.
Biography[]
Jigsaw is one of the very few criminals that the Punisher has faced several times without being able to kill. Jigsaw's name is derived from the horrendous scars and stitches that cover his face, due to a previous run-in with the Punisher, where the former threw Russo through a window pane, mutilating his face beyond normal repair.
Prior to his conflict with the Punisher, Jigsaw was actually considered an attractive man, nicknamed "Billy the Beaut" and was used as an assassin for the Maggia (Marvel's version of the mafia).
Billy would not let his scars deter him and actually used them to his advantage, renaming himself "Jigsaw". Quite understandably, he has a strong hatred towards the Punisher and has tried to kill him, frame him for crimes and generally made his life miserable for what he did to him.
