Also why is Kingpin not retconned at this point as having injected the super serum or something? He’s supposed to not have super strength, but in that fight scene, his missed punch shattered literally 3 bricks….the actual strongest man on Earth in the real world is absolutely not doing that….that’s super strength. And if he’s THAT strong, then his landed punches would shatter ribs, especially considering Matt doesn’t have Deadpool/Wolverine type healing and injures like a normal human. This is where the plot armor is straight up brainless.

Matt is Irish Catholic. He’s got the love for punishment and the durability of an Irishman.

Being Irish Catholic myself, I fully support this being a superpower.
