Piranha Jones

"Why do they call you Piranha?" "Well, is full of great white sharks. So no one sees a piranha coming. They're small, tenacious. So, sometimes you want to stay small. Then other times you wanna play it large!"

- Luke Cage and Piranha Jones

Raymond Jones, known as Piranha Jones, was a financial expert of Uptown Investments. He advised Mariah Dillard on business opportunities. Jones was captured and killed by Bushmaster as part of his plan to ruin Dillard by stripping her of her money and business. His severed head was left in a tank of piranhas.

Advising Mariah Dillard
"You've already given me power of attorney, so you're insulated." "Mark Higgins won't wanna sell that company." "But if you can convince Mark Higgins otherwise, you'll never have to worry about money another day in your life. Legitimate millions. Nothin' to launder."

- Piranha Jones and Mariah Dillard

Piranha Jones met Mariah Dillard and Shades at Ginny's Supper Club. With Dillard looking to move out of the crime business and got legit, he advised her to buy a controlling interest in Atreus Plastics before they sold out to Glenn Industries. Using inside information, Jones told her that Atreus had a paper-thin OLED monitor that they could roll up that only Glenn was aware of. A twenty million dollar investment could turn into billions. Jones set up a shell company in the Cayman Islands, and had power of attorney over Dillard's assets.

Hiring Luke Cage
"We went and hit it big with this Atreus Plastics merger and I'm throwing a celebration. I want to do something special. Now, anybody can go and get a DJ. Trust me, you know I know 'em. You know,,, . But a celebrity superhero, that's some next-level shit right there." "It's just taking pictures and shaking hands, right?" "That's it. And you'll be well rewarded for your time.""
