Colleen and Suwan will show up and lob some bricks into the fight. Kingpin has been learning to fight like Spider-Man, so he'll take a brick to the head and be knocked out instantly.

A big twist in season 2 of iron fist is that a bad guy who has iron fist like powers can iron up both his fists instead of just the one, something Danny didn't even think was possible.

Colleen will save the day, dropping a brick pallette on Frisk and using the crane's magnet to trap Claw.

Peter will tell MJ Spiderman blew up the theater, letting himself off the hook. MJ leaves Peter and starts dating an alligator.

I like the insinuation that Fisk actually looked into getting a radioactive spider to bite him but discovered it would be too inconvenient
I mean, it would be. You have to pick the right type of spider and the right radiation and all that. Taskmaster's way cheaper.

Of course Taskmaster would probably train him wrong as a joke.

He would still beat Spider-man though.

Newspaper Taskmaster would be amazing. The greatest NSM fighters are JJJ with a lamp, Mole Man whacking people's shins, and Rocket throwing himself headfirst at your stomach. And he can do all that at once.

nah, he just got a membership at a normal gym. it's not like training for beating up nsm could possibly be all that strenuous or complex. a lot of nsm villains have been normal guys with no special talents and a halfhearted gimmick. for example, big time, the man who liked clocks but not excessively so.

To be fair, it's pretty rare that NSM actually follows through on the logically obvious plot set-up.

Remember when they conspicuously showed how Ronan was drained of energy after using his hammer and needed to replenish it with food? Whoever wrote that storyline didn't.

Putting aside the fact that newspaper Spider-man is probably still strong enough to pulverize Kingpin's bones by just punching harder, I fail to see how any amount of training or natural strength (which Kingpin has plenty of) could prepare you for just getting webbed up. That's like your move, Spidey. It's not like Kingpin's a small, fast-moving target.

They haven't touched on it, but the weekday colorist has been careful to give Kingpin his classic anti-webbing baby blue suit throughout the storyline.

Too many Seinfeld reruns in my life means that whenever someone says "wild idea" I think of when Jerry's girlfriend goes "ooooh, that's a wild idea..." after he suggests a threesome.

And really, the context here is not totally different.

Kingpin is a Spider-Man villain, so once Iron Fist takes him down Spider-Man can just leave. His part of the team-up is done.
