    Default Who would be a great right-hand woman for the Kingpin?

    Hello everyone!

    I am a Marvel fan and I like certain female characters from Marvel Universe, as well as the Kingpin. One question that I had on my mind and wanted to hear other people's opinions on is who would be a great right-hand woman for the Kingpin out of the six characters listed below.

    1. Elektra
    2. Psylocke
    3. Black Cat
    4. Silver Sable
    5. Black Widow (AEMH animated series version)
    6. Carol Danvers (as Ms. Marvel)

    If you are interested, please tell your option and perhaps explain why that particular character, or characters, would make an excellent henchwoman for the Kingpin.

    Rule: You can only pick one or more of the six aforementioned characters, thus no other characters (like Typhoid Mary or Lady Bullseye) should be included in this thread.

    He already has Typhoid Mary in that role.

    If I had to go with that list, I'd say either Elektra or Black Widow from EMH, though the latter could be working undercover to subvert him like she did against HYDRA in EMH's first season.

    Now that I got that joke out of the way, I just can't suspend my disbelief for the Kingpin anymore. The character has been eating (heh) off the Frank Miller run for ages. Creators grew up reading that run so they are enamored with the character. At least Lex Luthor grew and changed and manages to not insult my suspension of disbelief. Kingpin requires so much plot armor that it's close to becoming real armor. You can make a bullet proof vest out of a comic that has the Kingpin in it.

    I just want one villain to realise. "Why are we so afraid of this guy that any of us can kill?" It's my second most asked question right after "why do so many villains still commit crimes in New York?"

    Dude, if he had Carol by his side he would be unstoppable, but the question is why would she join him?

    Maybe she gets disillusioned by the military industry complex and goes against the system with Fisk?

    Instead of Psylocke I would choose Emma Frost as a mutant henchwoman, it would make for a fun dynamic.

    Thanks for picking Carol and providing a possible reason why would Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel work for the Kingpin.

    While Emma Frost and the Kingpin would make a fine dynamic, I prefer Psylocke as the Kingpin's henchwoman.

    Yes, Elektra would make a great lackey for the Kingpin, as well as Black Widow from EMH and I can see her trying to undermine Fisk from within.

    That is correct. I just was interested in seeing other characters fulfilling that role. In a way, this question should be treated as a "What if" type of scenario.

    Understandable and thanks for suggesting to read that Spider-Man comic.

    Kwannon used to be part of the Hand, so I can definitely see her working with Kingpin.
    Maybe for some vengeance.
    Being a telepath and not being obessed with Matt makes her a better choice than Elektra.

    For sure. She would be more useful to the Kingpin than Elektra.

    Currently, Typhoid Mary occupies that role. Lady Bullseye or Spiral would have been good contenders.

    Thanks for reminding me of Carmilla Black. Shame she hasn't been around in a good long while.

    Thanks for naming your choices.

    In my personal interpretation, Elektra and Psylocke would be the Kingpin's personal assassins and bodyguards, Black Cat would be the Kingpin's personal thief, Silver Sable would be Fisk's muscle and would command the Kingpin's henchmen, Black Widow would be the Kingpin's personal spy, while Carol Danvers (as Ms. Marvel) would serve the Kingpin as his personal muscle and bruiser.
