For those unaware, Rivals has tend to have a trend of teasing Characters 3 Seasons before they Release
- in Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, Blade was shown at the end of the Season 1 Trailer, and was captured by Dracula and imprisoned for majority of Season 1, then was recovering in Season 2, then in Season 3: The Abyss Awakens, Blade became a Playable Character in Season 3.5.
- in Season 5: Love is a Battlefield, we saw Cyclops attending Rogue and Gambit’s Wedding Ceremony before he was swept away by the Timestream Entanglement into the 2099 Timeline, he was near the end of the Trailer being lost through time, he will become Playable in Season 8.5.
- in Season 6: Night at The Museum, we got our first glimpse of Devil Dinosaur, he was heavily speculated to release and and was still present around Season 7, he became Playable in Season 8: Sins of Alchemax.
So where does this leave Kingpin???
He was first officially teased in Season 7, shown at the end of the Blood Hunt Trailer similar to Blade,
so when will he release? We can rule out Season 8, but what about Season 9? (Maybe not because I don’t think he’s B-List, although he is a Villain), Season 10? Season 11 even??

I guess Loki, Amora The Enchantress, Hela, Malekith The Accursed, Dario Agger The Minotaur,
Fire demon King Surtur, Gorr The God Butcher, Skurge The Executioner, Kurse, King Ulik The Troll, King Ymir, The Wrecking Crew (The Wrecker, Thunderball, Bulldozer, Piledriver), The Grey Gargoyle, Karnilla The Norns Queen, Lorelei, Mr. Hyde, King Cobra, Ego The Living Planet, The High Evolutionary, The Mangog, Fenris Wolf, The Midgard Serpent, The Destroyer, Laufey, Cul Borson The Serpent, Seth, and The Black Winter weren’t enough….

We 1v1ing Captain America, Iron Man, Blade, and Namor 😭😭 🙏
It’s just we had such a big influx of Lizard hints with him directly appearing in the Comics, getting a Curt Connors portrait, getting his Lab as part of the Map, Connors practically being featured everywhere or mentioned on the Map, along with the previous hints like Dapeng Song doing a Concept for him and him being in Iron Man’s Character Story, it’s just like we got so many Hints and then it just went cold and we have less to go off of and this Sub has less material to work with
I kinda miss it and want more Hints again, I liked it because it helped get us excited, same with The Hood
I know certain things can trigger Interaction with Characters so I was curious
I kind’ve wanted Spectacular, Spider-Man 90’s TAS for the Red eyes, i think TASM1 is an inevitability, I wouldn’t mind an Insomniac Skin either
The hints have been HUGE for him Infact now that Daredevil and Black Cat are in the Game he’s probably the most hinted Character along with The Hood, so…when do we think they’re adding him? Obviously not Season 8 since it has Cyclops and either Devil Dinosaur or Captain Marvel/Mystique since the final Text doesn’t mention Dino at all and we only have a Plush to go off (not sure if it’s worth noting that Cyclops is in the bookshelf but Dino is on top), so i think Season 8 is intentionally ambiguous except for Cyclops who’s both been in the final Text and Gallery Card Image
I was thinking we could see either Lizard and Hood, or Kingpin and Hood in Season 9 and then Lizard in Season 10, what do you think? I definitely think he’s soon since this is WAY TOO MANY HINTS for one Spider-Man Villain
I mean, who else could it be? With that Bigass Target on his head, Crossfire?
