Will the Thunderbolts be the New Avengers? We talk about all of that and more.

Yes, Kingpin does become Mayor of New York in the comics.

White Tiger is about as throw away a character as you can get, but it’s still cool to see him in the show. Apparently, the White Tiger is also accused of murder in the comics, and was represented by Matt! Comic accurate!
