Summary

• Gabriele Dell'Otto's variant cover for Daredevil #15 showcases a terrifying hybrid of Kingpin from Netflix's Daredevil and Into the Spider-Verse.
• Vincent D'Onofrio and Liev Schreiber's portrayals of Kingpin inspired this unique, larger-than-life, unhinged version on the cover art.
• The variant cover gives fans a glimpse of the nightmare Kingpin could be if influenced by the adaptations in a way that could pose a threat to the entire Marvel Universe.

An amazing new cover art gives fans one of the most savage versions of Daredevil’s archenemy come together on one jaw-dropping variant fans are going to want to see.

The end of the year is going to be here before fans know it and Marvel is looking ahead to the fall and giving fans a peek at what’s coming this November. By the looks of the Daredevil #15, Matt Murdock’s going to be dealing with his longtime nemesis, Wilson Fisk.

Gabriele Dell’Otto’s variant for the issue shows the two in the heat of battle and Kingpin has never looked more intimidating. Not only does he have the style and brutality of Fisk in Netflix’s Daredevil, but he’s also got the large size of Kingpin from Into the Spider-Verse.

Terrifying Kingpin Art Takes Cues from Two Classic Versions

The Daredevil television show was a hit thanks in no small part to Vincent D’Onofrio’s portrayal of Wilson Fisk. Between his penchant for style and class and the chilling violence he’d display at the drop of a hat, D’Onofrio’s Fisk has been celebrated among fans. But he’s not the only beloved take on Kingpin as a few years later, Liev Schreiber would play Wilson Fisk in the animated film Into the Spider-Verse. Due to the movie’s cartoony and exaggerated nature, Kingpin was portrayed as an absolute tank who was as thick and wide as a Mack Truck.

While the Kingpin is often shown to be bigger than most people, he’s never been a giant like in the animated movie. However, Dell’Otto’s cover does a fantastic job of showing just how horrifying it would be if Fisk actually was as big as Spider-Verse’s take on Kingpin. But what makes it worse is making a Kingpin that big as unhinged as he was in the Netflix series. He was bad enough when he was slightly bigger than an average person. As this cover shows, Kingpin could do some serious damage if he was a giant like his Spider-Verse counterpart.

Kingpin’s Ultimate Form Would Be an Absolute Nightmare

Thankfully, Earth-616’s Fisk is no bigger than he usually is. But Dell’Otto’s variant is a frightening look at the danger Kingpin could be if he was just slightly influenced by the ones seen in Daredevil and Spider-Verse. Granted, the main Kingpin gets by just fine with his size and level of violence. But if he were even slightly adjusted to be more like the ones from these beloved adaptations, Fisk wouldn’t be just a problem for the Man Without Fear, but the entire Marvel Universe. Fortunately, for now, this version of Kingpin is limited to this amazing variant cover.

Daredevil #15 is available on November 20th from Marvel Comics.
