The 10 Worst Villains In Comic Book Movies

Howard Saint (The Punisher)

When you’re given the chance to adapt the Punisher, there’s a long list of characters to pit Frank Castle against. You could choose Tombstone, Kingpin, or even Jigsaw. Who did we get in 2004’s The Punisher though? Um, Howard Saint.

Oh, don’t worry, we don’t know who he is, either. Apparently, a comic book character, which had been around for 30 years before this film was released, required a crime lord to be specifically created for this movie. Because, you know, the Kingpin isn’t O.G. enough…

John Travolta did what he could with this role, but none of us cared enough for Saint for him to be a memorable rival. Fortunately, we only had to endure him for one movie and have moved onto better things in recent times – like Jon Bernthal’s take on the antihero over on Netflix.
