Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka your Uncle Kevin Spoilers and
it seems like Hawkeye could be bringing a big character into the MCU.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down all the theories surrounding who Echo's
Uncle is and the evidence to support who the quote unquote family could be.
Did someone say family.
Full spoilers ahead so if you aren't caught up to the show then it's time to show yourself
the door. If you enjoy the video then please click the thumbs up button and don't forget

With that out the way thanks for clicking this, now let's get into episode 3 of Hawkeye.
Ok so the entry opens in 2007 and much like how we got a flashback of Kate's past, here
we learn around Echo's. We discover not only her incredible mimic abilities but also her
fathers connection to the tracksuit mafia. In the comics he was a character called Crazy
Horse who worked as an assassin but here he's very much a New York gangster who is high
up in the organisation. Whereas in the comics her father was killed when she was very young,
in the MCU he lived for much longer and even survived the snap.
However it was during this time that he ran into the Ronin who killed him along with a
number of gang members.
As we learn in Episode 3 there is very much someone overseeing the actions of the Mafia
and though we don't discover who this is, he's introduced as Echo's uncle very early
on.
Now the first theory I want to dive into comes from Balance bringer who left it on our Episde
3 breakdown
Balance bringer not only sounds like Thanos' best mate but they also said that the Uncle
could be Kates father.
Now before you roll your eyes I think its actually a big possibility.
In the comics Kate's mother apparently died when she was very young and she was raised
by her dad. however it was revealed years later that she was in fact alive and in league
with Madam Masque and Kingpin.
They've clearly changed things up in the show so that its kates mother Elanor who lived
whereas it was her dad that apparently died.
However we never saw a body and he may pop up down the line much like how she did in
the comics.
Now other things to add to this is that we know Kates father was well off. In their argument
elanor brought up that he was so used to having things easy that he assumed a solution to
their debt was gonna just fall out the sky. Whilst that was the case he clearly comes
from a powerful background and if hes so used to having things his way it might be because
his family have ruled over things.
They also get to keep the penthouse in the end and though this might be because of insurance
reasons its clear that the Bishops have some pull. Being the owners of a security business
would also allow them to have a lot of access to the city so Kates dad being the uncle could
be a possibility. I actually think that would be a much bigger twist than it being some
of the other suspects but there are some things that don't make it seem likely either.
Kates father clearly loved her and I don't think that he would abandon his daughter and
fake his own death just to keep ahold of a house that he could probably sell.
Plus Im not too sure how happy he would be about Elanor hooking up with Jack and I think
the reveal in the show will probably be that Elanor killed him during the battle of New
York and then she kept the penthouse because of this.
Now the most obvious candidate is Kingpin. Ever since the Netflix shows were cancelled
3 years ago there's been a lot of hoping and praying that hell come back. According to
behind the scenes reports, Kevin Feige actually had no plans to bring the Netflix characters
across but after #savedaredevil trended he changed his mind.
Vincent D'ofrio hasn't confirmed he's coming back either but he has bene talking about
the show on twitter and talking about how fun it looks. This is something you didn't
do for What If Vincent and Im gonna need to know why.
Also show me your thumbs Punk. I said show em.
Now the Kingpin is the most likely character for me to arrive and if we look at the comics
its also the most inline with them.
In the comics Kingpin killed Echos father and in his dying breath he asked Fisk to take
care of his daughter. This is a promise he fulfilled and he enrolled Maya into all the
best schools and raised her like she was his own.
Fisk of course kept it from her that he killed her father and he ended up using her as one
of his assassins. Kingpin sent Echo after Matt Murdock and she posed as a love interest
before revealing the true plan. However she discovered that it was Kingpin who was responsible
for her fathers death and then she became a goodguy. We know Echo has a Disney Plus
show coming down the line and I think it would be great to see her discovering Kingpin tipped
off the Ronin or something and this could lead into her hunting down Fisk.
Now other hints towards it being Kingpin is that in the comics both the Tracksuit Mafia
and Kazi worked for him. The building we saw in the first episode is also where Fisk resided
in the Netflix series. To top this off the character also had a black suit like what
we see and though I haven't been able to verify this yet, Youtube user ADDAM said on my last
video that they were from Germany and that Marvel had used the same voice actor for Kingpin
as they had with the Netflix shows.
I think Wilson Fisk is the most likely candidate when we look at everything and though Maya
regarded him as a father figure in the comics, an Uncle somewhat is that too.
He clearly had a close relationship with her and though her real dad lived a lot longer
than he did in the source material, because they were friends Maya probably spent a lot
of time with him. When we cut to her as an adult shes also visiting Fat Man auto repair
which was a nickname that Kingpin had in the comics.
Now there's been a lot of videos on the characters cufflinks especially as Kingpin used to take
great pride in his. I have looked at these a lot and they don't really line up with the
ones that he typically wore but I know lots of people are going down the rabbit hole on
that. However I actually started rewatching the Daredevil Netflix show last night and
one thing that they make a big point of in that is that no one says Fisks name. The character
achieves complete anonymity because people refuse to say who he is and Uncle could be
used in a similar manner.
Plus there's that laugh.
So looking at it from a top level view, we have the actor behind Kingping saying the
show looks fun, landmarks from the netflix series popping up, ties to the comic characters
and their origin stories, the potential reuse of voice actors and just the general feeling
behind the series.
I think getting Kingpin back would be massive and if the rumours about Matt Murdock being
in No Way Home are true then potentially on the fifteenth we could see Kingpin in Hawkeye
on the morning and then Matty on the evening in Spider-man.
Whats that mate, No Way Home doesn't release until the 16th and 17th for you, hahaha should've
moved to the UK you sucker. Youre such a sucker.
Anyway really hope that it's him and if they Ralph Bohner us again then I'm gonna become
the Joker.
Now there's also the possibility that it could be Jack which Ive seen pop up a couple of
times. There's definitely a chance but I still am holding out hope that Jack will be a goodguy.
Add to this Clint hinted that he knew who was running the show and that they were above
Echo. If he was well aware of the Kingpin then he would also be aware of Jack and as
they go to Kates without that ever coming up then it seems unlikely.
Plus the next episode would be a bit weird to have him in the Penthouse and then him
be like 'ah you're the guy running it all, you summoffabich'
Now the final theory is quite a wild one and according to leaks on the series it will in
fact be revealed that it's in fact Uncle Kevin Spoilers, who is your uncle, yes yours, behind
it all.
Dumb punk you should've known it was uncle Kevin Spoilers but now look at you punk.
Anyway those are the most interesting theories so far and now I turn the question over to
you.
Who do you think Echos uncle is?
