Chainsaw

Chainsaw is a Marvel Comics villain who debuted in the pages of The Punisher War Journal, placing him in the gritty street-level criminal world surrounding the Punisher. Beyond that initial confrontation, he has crossed paths with Moon Knight in subsequent appearances.

Bursting onto the scene in the pages of The Punisher War Journal #45 in 1992, Chainsaw is a Marvel Comics creation from the Copper/Modern Age who has carved out a niche presence across three decades of publication. Debuted by Chuck Dixon and John Hebert, this character has kept some genuinely electrifying company over the years — sharing pages with the likes of Moon Knight, Marc Spector, and the Scarlet Scarab across titles including Moon Knight: City of the Dead and Marvel Comics Presents. With appearances stretching all the way to 2024, Chainsaw is a testament to how even a character with a lean catalog footprint can endure in the sprawling Marvel universe — a hidden gem for readers who love digging into the grittier, street-level corners of the House of Ideas.
