When you ask most people what the best story Marvel has done with Kingpin as the villain

They will probably go with Frank Miller’s Daredevil work

This is because they are FOOLS

Because I can tell you right now that this is the best thing ever done with the character

Kingpin finds out that a bunch of heroes regularly get together to play poker and proceeds to crash their SUPERHERO POKER NIGHT…like literally just knocks on the door and strolls in like a baller

(Sidenote I love how the Human Torch is like ‘WHAT THE HECKIE’ at how surreal this is…the most infamous mob boss in new york, a man who regularly employs supervillains, RHINO PEOPLE and killer robots has just shown up at their front door like “I heard you guys were having a poker game and wanted to come hang out”…like he’s just their Weird Supervillain Neighbour)

But this isn’t what makes this story the best oh no

That’s what Kingpin will do with his winnings if he beats them

What would a depraved supervillain do with all that money you wonder?

Bribery? Fund some grand criminal enterprise? Use it to purchase illegal firearms or in some seedy druge deal?

Nope

He’s going to legally purchase a boat and give it a name that’s a fuck you to the heroes

And then just to rub it in their faces he’s going to ILLEGALLY BUY A CUBAN CIGAR

THIS IS AMAZING

This is like something right out of the Venture Brothers

The heroes arch nemesis, a man who regularly tries to murder them to death, shows up and is just like “And if I win…I SHALL USE YOUR MONEY TO ILLEGALLY PURCHASE A CUBAN CIGAR!”

I BET HE’S GOING TO SMOKE IT IN A MOVIE THEATRE TOO

OR THE NON SMOKING SECTION OF A RESTAURANT

THE FIEND

This is legitimately like something The Monarch or Marik from Yu Gi Oh Abridged would do…I cannot stop laughing at this scene okay it’s amazing
