The tragic story of how a man's head slowly descended into his sternum.

[cerulee]

I gotta say I love just how twisted and evil Doc Ock is in this universe. She knows full well that anyone brought over from other dimensions will eventually disintegrate, implying it's a painful way to go, yet she's willing to help Fisk bring alternate versions of his wife and son into their dimension not caring about their fates. She just wants to do it because she can.

I love how comically massive kingpin is, It's intimidating yet goofy and it just feels right.

[Maplemoose]

One of the things I really like about this backstory is that he was already a bad guy before the tragedy. So many animated films have the villain become a villain as a result of their backstory, but in this case, it's less of a reason for his cruelty and more of a motivation for what he's doing in the film, as well as making his feud with Spider-Man far more personal. In his eyes, Spider-man took his family away from him, and by trying to stop the collider he's trying to do it again. Just brilliant storytelling all around imo.

“As many families as you want” she might be aware of the results.

[DeanRocks-krwv]

What I love about this backstory is that it doesn’t excuse Kingpins actions or justify him. It just explains his motivation, why he’s doing what he’s doing.

[alucardsantradideus]

I just wanna give props to tombstone for not breaking, dude is loyal and straight forward

[socriabbas]

You know whats sick and twisted? Is that Olivia doesnt tell Kingpin what would happen to those FAMILY if they were to actually stay in his universe. If Kingpin would actually succeed in achieving his goal then he would see his wife and son die again.. but this time in a very slowly and painful way.

[roamingnemesis]

I love this scene so much. Her body language, putting her on equal ground with him and then positioning herself above him right as she says "my colider." The fact that she knows his family is just going to disintegrate while he watches helplessly, she's so good. I really wish she was still around in the story.

[raineheartily]

Love that doc ock slowly rise her standing in front of Kingpin as she is doesn't want to be seen as "lower" than Kingpin

[lemonke]

Im not scared of kingpin because he’s strong, not because he’s bad
But because of his size bro!
THAT GUY IS AN ACTUAL TITAN
HES LIKE 12 FEET TALL
AND LIKE 5 METERS WIDE

[speks]

From the side Kingpin looks like a giant among us. I can't unsee it.

[albertouthere]

"you embarrassed me in front of Vanessa"

[gamerstheater]

I love these characters they are both so intimidating yet they still feel emotions

[janmots]

But it was his fault though, Kingpin wanted money and power and Spiderman stood in the way of that. He wanted to kill Spiderman and was prepared to do so until his wife and son saw what he was about to do. So it was his fault being a bad guy, he coulda just done things the right way and not been so corrupt then his family would have been alive.

[capysarah]

Kingpin never considers that alternate versions of his family would be scared and confused if suddenly ripped out of their own dimension and dropped into his. They won't be happy to see him. They'll either love or hate the version of him from their _own_ universe, not this stranger who kidnapped them.

Kingpin is selfishly motivated. He doesn't care about his family, only the _idea_ of them. If he really loved them, he couldn't just replace them.

[erickamakeeaina]

I kind of Headcanon that while Wilson was already a villain, he used to be more of an honorable and reasonable one. Wich is how Fisk is, at times, characterized in the comics. He wouldn't have been the type to endanger all reality out of recklessness until he lost his family.

[ninoale]

Damn, until this fragment, I didn't understand why Kingpin needed a collider. Moreover, before the release of the film, I did not understand this. I thought he killed Spider-Man before the events of the movie, but then I realized that there might be other Spider-Men in the multiverse who could interfere with his plans, but then when he killed Spider-Man of his universe, I began to think what Kingpin was up to. And so, it turned out that he just wants to get his family back. And you know, it's a pretty good motivation. Despite the fact that Wilson Fisk is a ruthless criminal boss, he still loves his family.

[wolverine]

To this day i can't look at this version of kingpin and laugh my ass off, like... how did Vanessa SURVIVE the making of Richard? XD

[huntercool]

As tragic as his backstory is, Kingpin isn’t a victim he’s still a villain. His actions caused what happened and he did this to himself and he has no one else to blame but himself. He may have loved his family, but he was still a bad guy for the things he did and he did some bad things. Very bad things. His family didn’t know his secrets and who he actually was, and when they saw him about to kill Spider-Man (A Hero) they saw who he really was for the first time. They were scared of him and neither of them saw a husband or a father in that moment, they only saw a monster. Kingpin hates Spider-Man and blames him for the death of his family because he can’t except the truth that it’s his own fault his family died.
