- "I used to be a bad seed. Mad at the world for kicking me in the teeth. Felt it was only fair to kick it back. But my grandparents changed all that. They took me hunting, fishing, taught me to say, 'Yes, sir,' 'No, sir.' They loved me enough to impose rules. You're gonna learn my rules, 46592."

Torment[]

"Who did this to you?" - ―Jessica Jones and Alisa Jones[src]
Holiday was brought a powered prisoner named Alisa Jones. He welcomed her nicely and gave her food. However, she said she was a vegetarian and refused to eat the meat. This made Holiday angry because he did not want her to starve and he also saw it as an opportunity for other prisoners to defy his power. He proceeded to scold her, but she nearly attacked him and he ran out to safety.
The next day, he woke Jones up by tasing her. He proceeded to torture her while he destroyed her belongings including a ripping a photo of her daughter and dead son. He continued to torture her until Jessica Jones arrived to talk to Alisa. Jones noticed the scarring, but Holiday kept his mouth shut.[1]
