Kingpin is a large American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) found in swamps, ponds, and slow-moving streams of the central and eastern United States. It is the largest member of the Ranidae (true frog) family and can exceed 6 inches in length.
Its mottled green and brown skin, lined with prominent ridges, gives it a “warty” appearance. The eyes feature bright yellow and iridescent black pupils, surrounded by a broad golden circle. Males can be identified by their broad heads, large tympanum (ear), and yellow vocal sacs.
Kingpin’s diet consists of a variety of aquatic invertebrates, although adult frogs may supplement their diet with small insects, fish, and even other frogs. Reproductively, females lay large masses of eggs in still, shallow waters that usually hatch within a week.
Newly emerged frogs feed on plankton and insect larvae, growing rapidly to their adult size. This species is considered a flagship species due to its large size and ability to provides ecological services, such as controlling mosquito populations.
Is the Kingpin super human?
No, the Kingpin is not super human. He is a powerful crime lord with extensive control over organized crime in Marvel’s New York City. He has no superhuman abilities, but he is an adept strategist, clever negotiator, and formidable hand-to-hand combatant.
Fisk is also an Olympic-level weightlifter and possesses immense physical strength. He can lift close to 1,000 pounds and has shown capable of pummeling superheroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil with ease.
Despite this immense strength, his physical form is a normal, albeit physically fit human. He relies on his wits, resources, and allies to carry out his nefarious schemes.
Was Kingpin a hydra?
No, Kingpin was not a Hydra. Kingpin, also known as Wilson Fisk, is a fictional supervillain appearing in Marvel comics. He is a powerful crime lord and the primary antagonist of the Marvel Universe, predominately Spider-Man.
Kingpin appeared in the Daredevil comics, and while he has a vast array of criminal resources at his disposal, he is not affiliated with Hydra. Hydra is a fictional terrorist organization appearing in Marvel comics, and is frequently encountered by the Avengers.
It is led by the Red Skull and has a structure resembling a Hydra-like creature as its symbol. This is why the organization has the name Hydra. Kingpin is an antagonist to many Marvel superheroes and supervillains, but is not part of Hydra or any other organization.
