    Origin

    Maginty was originally born in Dublin and moved to the United States when he was a child. He grew up in Hell's Kitchen when he was a child under the watch of the cruel Irish Gangster Nesbitt who would repeatedly use racist slurs when Maginty was around. Later on Maginty formed his own gang trying to gain control of Hell's Kitchen. After old man Nesbitt died he mailed a letter to Maginty, the River Rats, Cooley, and the Westies of where he stashed 10 million dollars with each of them getting partial coordinates where the money was at. In the note it said he wanted them to work together to get the money.

    Major Story Arcs

    KITCHEN IRISH

    Maginty was one of the major players in the Punisher MAX story arc "Kitchen Irish." Maginty and his gang were trying to get Nesbitt's stashed 10 million dollars. Maginty kidnapped Tommy Toner who was the leader of the Westies and forced Napper French to cut his body into different pieces which he mailed to Tommy Toner's wife Brenda who was now in charge of the Westies. Maginty hoped mailing Tommy's body parts would unnerve Brenda and the Westies making it easier for him to destroy the gang and take the 10 million dollars Nesbitt had hidden. While Maginty did unnerve the members of the Westies Brenda was not scared at all of Maginty.

    Later the Punisher and Yorkie Mitchell deceive all four groups into a meeting where they laid a trap. Punisher and Yorkie completely dismantled the Westies and Maginty lost most of his gang in the fight as well. After barely escaping with his life Maginty returns home and gets attacked by Napper French for kidnapping his grandson and forcing him to cut up Tommy Toner and showing his grandson what he did. Maginty was saved by his men who happened to stop by his home. After the near death experience Maginty goes to see the other groups to settle their differences and just split the money.

    Maginty and the groups agree to settle their differences and using their combined letters were able to locate where the money was hidden. They then leave together to go to the location of the money, however the Punisher and Yorkie Mitchell followed them as well. The location given to them was a docked boat that had been falling apart for years. Maginty and the others boarded the boat and noticed that they had been followed. Maginty and the others were able to push the Punisher and Yorkie back during a gun fight. They then found a case they thought had Nesbitt’s money and opened it. What they found was a bomb instead which killed Maginty and the others left by old man Nesbitt before he died.
