Would super villain attacks anywhere in New York lower property values? You'd think that they'd be used to them by now.

Also, is that Stilt-Man and Bullet?

I don't think Bullet would be teaming up with Bullseye, after he killed Bullet's son.

[cyberghostface]

Yeah good point. Kind of reminds me how Lady Bullseye was used as one of Kingpin's toadies by other writers after Brubaker had her murder the woman and her two kids that Kingpin was trying to settle down with.

IIRC, Lady Bullseye killed them under orders. Fisk did actually kill the man who gave the orders, and might be willing to overlook her actions given how he decided that retiring was impossible.

Bullseye killed Bullet's son for shit sand giggles, big difference.

So, on paper, this seems to be a hardcore crew of killers. Daredevil will have his hands full with these guys and might even fall to them.

If only he was friends with a powerful man with bulletproof skin, a master martial artist whose fists were like iron or even a man with the proportional strength, speed, agility of a spider...

If only he could call on these people to help.

(Then there's everyone else running around New York who might be a bit miffed with guys blowing up parts of it, but no need to mention them.)

Normally I'd agree that its silly that heroes rarely ask each other for help but not knowing when he needs help is a big part of what makes Matt Matt.

Don’t worry. Any one would be a threat. But five villains at the same time? Piece of cake.
Add a few more villains and Foggy Nelson could handle the entire lot himself.

Danny's fists aren't like iron, they're like unto a thing of iron!

I'm always amused the overly flowery description of Iron Fist's power.

I wonder if Rhino's appearance here is before, or after, getting trounced by Mary Jane. :)

[starwolf_oakley]

Isn't there another Rhino?

[cyberghostface]

He's dead.

[silverhammerman]

I was thinking the same thing. That Rhino can appear in one comic suffering ignominious defeat at the hands of a minor actress and a gentle slope, and that same week appear in another comic trying to sell him as part of a crew of hardened killers, is both quite amusing and a classic example of the inconsistency inherent to shared universe projects.

[onsokumaru]

Not to mention him being a sympathetic villain in Miles Morales.
It's like Thunderball appearing as his usual self in Dr Strange just after Coates tried to redeem him a little bit in Black Panther and Captain America.

All the while there are dozen of obscure villains in limbo who could serve exactly the same purpose.
Suggesting those replacements should be part of the editor's job.

[lieut_kettch]

Or Kraven after Squirrel Girl. And Batroc after Gwenpool.

[janegray]

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO BATROC AFTER GWENPOOL???

That was the last I saw him D:

[lieut_kettch]

Nothing yet. But Gwen did say that that after her series, no one will remember him this way again, and he'll be back to being a joke.

[beyondthefringe]

If they claimed that Rhino was now a franchise, or if someone was selling LMDs as “temp villains” I’d totally buy it, if just to explain how some characters get around so much with such inconsistency.

[cainofdreaming]

Unfortunately there's no one in a yellow goblin mask that's making big bucks selling villain identities.
