    Hey, heroes! I'm streaming on Twitch again this weekend! On Saturday I'll be continuing my very first playthrough of Final Fantasy! Then on Sunday I'm playing a Like a Dragon game for the very first time with Yakuza 0! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite
  • If Tom DeFalco had his way, Richard Fisk would have been revealed to be the Hobgoblin and Roderick Kingsley would have been revealed as the Rose.
  • The Rose is such a cool villain, from his design to his origins, how come I never heard of this guy?
  • How many of you remember seeing Richard Fisk in the 90s Spider-Man animated series and in the Into the Spiderverse movie?
  • @dfailsthemost
    1:10 this image made my brain hurt. Fisk looks like he should be escorting the fifth element to earth.
  • @netapel2625
    The Rose is my favourite Marvel Villain, So happy to see a video about him. He always goes under the radar for casual fans so it's nice to see a more in depth look at his origins.
  • @Hulkzilla0
    Wow, these crime oriented stories get really out of hand! It's still really cool to see how it all unravels.
  • The Rose was a big part of the Spider-Man titles when I first started collecting Spider-Man. I always saw him as a second or third tier villain, but you have shown me a deeper connection he had to the Marvel Universe. So how about a video on RED NORVILLE, the red headed Thor stand in. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
  • @samwill7259
    Fisk is a walking justification in the shape of a man. He convinces himself he's earned this. That SOMEONE would be doing it if he wasn't. That at least he has some decorum. He's wrong. And every ounce of blood on his hands shows him as not some complex, conflicted figure of low society. But as a monster, plain as any other
  • @jakeproven256
    0:59 Jeez, why did the artist need to make Kingpin so freakishly humgungous in this pannel?!
  • @jakeproven256
    I mostly remember Richard Fisk from the two season 3 episodes of Spider-man the animated series framed and the man without fear, and the season 4 episode guilty. Framed and The man without fear were a great pair of episodes where Peter Parker is framed and had a great team up between Spider-man and Daredevil!
  • @Supremmo
    I miss Richard Fisk. I wish they never killed him off.
  • What do you think Richard Fisk would be like if he was the opposite of his daddy the Kingpin and had a very normal and pleasant life? Does he have all the physical traits of his mother Vanessa?
  • These street level characters feel more complicated then the cosmic stuff.
  • @mwamba85dt
    Richard fisk really hope we see him or have him mentioned in daredevil born again
  • @trexadvent4726
    Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
