Have an interesting theory. Think Kingpin decided to invest in The Daily Bugle after the stinger from FFH, deliberately furthering JJJ's smear campaign (Without JJJ knowing the true reasons) as part of a plot to distract and discredit Spiderman, ensuring that he doesn't come across any of Kingpin's operations. And, if SM4 will be adapting elements of Devil's Reign, we can also lift the element of Kingpin determining that his memories were altered and that he no longer knows the identity of a particular vigilante, motivating him to go after all NY Vigilantes. What do you think of that?
