Jessica Jones

Marvel’sJessica Jonesis about to release itsthird and last time of year , and while it ’s sad to see the show go , the latest trailer has got lots to get unrestrained about . Jessica Joneshas a account of some seriously evil villains and it seems the final season ’s openhanded bad will not let down . And with the trailer confirming psychopath Greg Salinger , AKA Foolkiller , as this season ’s nemesis it could be Jessica ’s bad fighting yet .

As with nearly every Marvel attribute , the on - screen depiction is likely to be different from the comic strip , but here ’s what you need to know about Foolkiller before the show officially drop .

There’s More Than One

In the comics , Salinger is in reality the 2d Foolkiller . While locked up in prison house , Salinger hears about Ross G. Everbeast , an Anti - Vietnam activist who accept his protests to the next level by killing all those whom he hold to be a fool , as in anyone who disagreed with them .

It ’s probably not likely that the goggle box show will typeset up two edition of the same character in one time of year but they may make reference point to Everbeast to give Salinger more of a backstory .

He’s Played By Jeremy Bobb

Jessica Joneshas always got its casting reasonably much perfect for every character , and this is certainly true for hiringJeremy Bobb as Salinger . Bobb was seen before this yr as Mike Kershaw in Netflix’sRussian Doll . A   part that just oozed sleaze and arrogance , but not without a sealed amount of appeal and a dark common sense of sense of humour .

With the showrunners confirming that Bobb toy an integral part in shaping and forming the character , it ’s likely the final scoundrel will make for very compelling screening .

He’s An Anti-Hero (Ish)

While signally a baddie , in the comics Salinger sees himself more as a vigilante along the lines of The Punisher . Salinger defines his sucker as people who lack poesy in their someone .

From the house trailer , it ’s already apparent that this version of Salinger will be a lot sullen than this , but from his deliberate targetting of Jessica and saying she " ca n’t control " herself , it seems his campaign is to prove that she is not a hero and that someone like him would have done a effective Book of Job .

He Used To Be Part Of The Defenders

At one second in the comics , Salinger really joined the first-rate - hero offense - fight squad The Defenders before being kicked out . While Salinger made no appearance inThe DefendersNetflix show , and with that series not pose to regress , it is unbelievable that this plot line will be used inJessica Jones .

However , much like Everbeast , we may see some reference to this plot line to explain that Salinger is someone who believes he ’s acting with good intentions and cut into into why he has such a gripe with superheroes .

He’s Just A Regular Guy

Unlike previousJessica Jonesvillains , Greg Salinger traditionally does n’t have any world power . This is true in the cartoon strip also , with Salinger instead settling for a disintegration gun .

These shows have always been grounded in realness , so the gun may not have much of presence , but that ’s not to say that some version salve from alien tech could n’t make an appearing .

He’s Hyper-Intelligent

It ’s likely that Salinger ’s main weapon will be his brilliant mind , which is notoriously surd to plug . We hear Jessica say to Trish Walker that " he ’s smarter than both of us combined , " and while that remains to be seen , there ’s a significant bit in the trailer where he ’s see being defended by Jeri Hogarth .

former scoundrel Kilgrave managed to turn people on Jessica with the aid of mind - control . By comparison , for Salinger to be able to do it with words alone is an unsettling indication of what he ’s subject of .

He’s A Big Fan Of Spider-Man

Again , not a likely comprehension , given the MCU picture show rarely baffle over with the TV shows . However , as Salinger is on a charge to prove Jessica is not a hero , it ’s interesting to have it away what he values about the great unwashed .

In the strip , while at ESU , Salinger has Peter Parker as a TA and he ’s impressed with Peter ’s science , finding it " poetic . " Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg has corroborate that Jessica is loathsome to him , so perhaps her lick - first ask - later attitude really catch under his peel .

He’s Fought The Hellcat

With season 2 ending with Trish get powers and the new house trailer showing her as her comics alter - ego the Hellcat , this may foreshadow what Salinger ’s up to in season 3 . Melissa Rosenberg has point that Salinger will"hamstring Jessica in a way that , she ’s never been before . "

With Jessica seriously lacking in allies , it follow that Salinger could go after any supporter she has left by straight off targetting her respectable friend , Trish . There is comics precedent for this , as Foolkiller   go   up against Hellcat in Defenders # 75 .

“He’s Twisted”

Melissa Rosenberg ’s verbal description of Salinger sounds like he may have a lot in common with Jessica . Just like Jessica , he is a " deeply scarred somebody . " He also seems obsessed with calling her out as a beguiler , suggesting he feels he ’s in contender with her .

This " twisted " edition of Jessica as a villain could be really interesting because , rather than essay to control Jessica like former enemies , he ’s on a cause to prove himself better than her .

He Has A Weakness

die up against a hyper - intelligent , psychopathic slayer may mean that Jessica really has her work cut out for her this time of year . While there ’s no game show yet how the time of year will terminate , Foolkiller was once outdo by an quondam woman who used his own logical system against him . convert him that his own actions were foolish , Salinger actually turn his own artillery on himself .

Jessica may have to use his own intelligence against him to beat him . Whether she convolute his logic or outsmart him , the poke certainly puts a lot of emphasis on Salinger ’s Einstein power . As for how she does it , we ’ll have to wait and see .
