Wilson Fisk, also known as the Kingpin, offers to provide Alistair Smythe with the funds he requires to build more of Spencer’s Spider-Slayer robots, claiming that Spider-Man is responsible for the death of his father. Alistair fails in his bid to kill Spider-Man and the others he holds responsible for his father’s death, and as a consequence, Kingpin makes him work for him until he does kill Spider-Man.
