I like Kingpin as an anti-hero almost as much as I like him as a villain. But I do think they emphasize "He's a crazy Big Dude" in comics that want to play up the fantasy angle of Marvel, while he tends to just be "Businessman/Crime boss who can trade a few punches" in the more street-level story arcs.

I like to think Daredevil and him go all out on eachother. While Spidey pulls his punches so much it makes Kingpin believe he's tougher than he is.

I mean the version of him in this pic was strong enough to straight up kill Spidey. It just varies from story to story

True, true.
I think he's somehow bigger than the hulk in that too.

This is canon in the Doc Ock as Spider-Man arc.

Didn't he accidentally punch Kingpins jaw off as Spiderman? I need to read that series.

I need to see an anotomical analysis of this man.

In the comics it's supposed to be all muscle, but I don't think he is considered to have any super powers.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He’s just a huuuuuugw friggen guy

Which means he has freak genetics. But I guess not the kind of freak genetics that make him superpowered. (There is a so-called "x-gene" for actual mutants in MU)

Well he's got actual-strongman fat but yeah.
