Billy Russo was a favourite hitman for the Costa mob, nicknamed "the Beaut" because of his good looks.[3] After the execution-style killing of Frank Castle's family at the hands of the Costas, Russo was hired by the latter to assassinate Maurice Howles, another hitman who had earlier failed to kill Frank Castle, Michael McTeer, a freelance reporter who was helping Castle fight the Costas, and Castle himself. Russo killed all of his targets but Castle, who narrowly avoided death in an explosion. Hours later, Castle, now turned into the Punisher, tracked down Russo to one of the Maggia's nightclubs: Salvagno's. Several criminals were killed, and Russo was thrown through a glass pane head-first. Somehow, he survived with his face torn to shreds; surgeons stitched it back together like a jigsaw puzzle.
