"El último sobreviviente del cartel merece una recompensa.[1]"
―Owner[src]

The Mexican Cartel, also known as the Juarez Cartel,[2] is a drug cartel based at Juárez, Mexico.

History[]

Operating in Hell's Kitchen[]

"Every gang worth shit's trying to grab up everything fat boy left behind. I even heard the Cartel's getting into it."
Turk Barrett to Daredevil[src]

Once Wilson Fisk was arrested by the FBI and NYPD, the Mexican Cartel attempted to establish themselves at the New York City criminal underworld. In order to strike their claim, Cartel members acquired military-grade ammunition from Juárez which they stored in a warehouse at the Meatpacking District in the Hell's Kitchen.[3]

Cartel members were contacted by the Blacksmith who arranged a big drug deal at the Central Park. Together with the Kitchen Irish and the Dogs of Hell, Cartel members were waiting for the Blacksmith who did not appear at the park. Several gang members decided that it was a sting operation organized to arrest all of them. Suddenly, all three parties started shooting at each other, emerging into a gunfight which resulted in the deaths of several Cartel members, an undercover NYPD officer, Maria Castle, Lisa Castle and Frank Castle, Jr..[4]

Punisher's Vengeance[]

Frank Castle who survived the shootout at the Central Park decided to revenge the deaths of his family and targeted the Mexican Cartel in New York, as well as the Kitchen Irish and the Dogs of Hell. During his violent crusade, multiple Cartel members and other criminals were gunned down by Castle. Castle managed to find Cartel's warehouse at the Meatpacking District where he violently took down all Cartel members and strung them up on meat hooks.

Snipe out Cartel

Later, they were found by Daredevil who was pursuing Castle and then went to interrogate the last survivor. Despite Daredevil initially thought that the violence on the streets of New York City was caused by a paramilitary organization, a gang member revealed that they were eliminated by one man before dying from his injuries.[3]

Eventually, the entire Cartel branch in New York was eliminated by Castle, forcing the last Cartel member to leave the city. Cartel Sicario returned to Mexico where Cartel's allies hosted a returning party for him. However, while Sicario was celebrating he was targeted by the Punisher who assassinated him with a sniper shot in the head from the border at El Paso, Texas.[5]

Kingpin's Offer[]

By 2017, the Juarez cartel reassembled, with leadership in New York formed by Antonio Gomez, Juan Ortiz, Jose Morales and Antonio Diaz. Kingpin kept track of the cartel leadership in order to recruit it into an extortion racket.[2]

Battle of Culiacán[]

Due to the Massacre of Phi Gamma Epsilon, The Oregon Examiner reported that the President of Mexico found himself on the defensive a day after one of the most violent days of the country's long fight against drug cartels.[6]

Attacked by Ronin[]

"The federales found a room full of bodies, looks like a bunch of Cartel guys. Never even got a chance to get their guns out."
"It's probably a rival gang."
"Except it isn't. It's definitely Barton."
James Rhodes and Natasha Romanoff[src]

In 2023, the Mexican Cartel's hideout in Juárez, Mexico was assaulted by Ronin, who had decided to kill criminals who survived the Snap, as he considered them unworthy from living. Ronin brutally slaughtered all Cartel members before they could get their weapons out. Their bodies were found by the Federal Police, as well as James Rhodes, who informed Natasha Romanoff of the incident.[7]
