Other characters

Hand

In the Iron Man episode "Hands of the Mandarin", Mandarin's Minions are mistaken for members of the Hand by the media.

Kingpin

His most prominent appearance is in Spider-Man: The Animated Series voiced by Roscoe Lee Browne. In this show, he was one of the main villains and arguably the leading antagonist of the show, as he appeared in more episodes than any other villain. This Kingpin is fairly close to the comics version, but he is often occupied with manipulating superpowered characters to do his bidding. In addition, as opposed to just being a crime lord in New York, Kingpin has a global criminal organization; his headquarters is simply located in New York. His physical abilities are GeneRally depicted the same as his comics counterpart, except in one instance when he toppled a huge robot. His bodymass is stated in this continuity as being only "2% fat", a statement followed by the declared possession of "350 pounds of muscle". He's the mastermind behind the creation of the Spider-Slayers and is responsible for the creation of the Insidious Six, the animated equivalent of the Sinister Six. He's also involved in a power struggle with crime boss Silvermane.

Initially, he operated behind the scenes until the "Framed/The Man Without Fear" two-parter, where his identity was revealed to Spider-Man with the help of Daredevil, who was seeking revenge for his father's [...] at Kingpin's hands. The Kingpin's main associate here was at first Alistair Smythe, but after Smythe nearly betrayed the Kingpin because he believed Kingpin was going to kill him for placing his son in jail during the Daredevil two-parter, Dr. Herbert Landon replaced him. Kingpin remained at large throughout the series, although an alternate dimension's version was arrested in the series finale. Another alternate version was shown to be the lawyer of that dimension's Peter Parker, though he proved just as underhanded as his counterparts.

This series also described an origin for the Kingpin, somewhat different than the comic book version. As a boy, Wilson Fisk was influenced by his father, who sought employment as a mob criminal. When older, Fisk assisted his father in robbing banks and jewelry stores, culminating in one robbery where his father escaped but Fisk, hampered by his already-considerable weight, was captured by police. Fisk did not name his father at his trial and was sentenced to prison, where he resolved to survive. In adulthood, Fisk emulated his father's goal and climbed to a position of seniority within the mob, adopting the alias "Kingpin". He has had his police file destroyed, removing all record of his earlier arrest – effectively making his former life "cease to exist." He then exacted revenge against his father, who was implied to have been killed by the Kingpin's henchmen. It was also revealed that his real name was Wilson Moriarty. He maintained a strained relationship with his wife Vanessa, who was well-aware of his activities and wanted him to let it all go. Though he loved her, she eventually left him after being briefly kidnapped by Silvermane. His son, Richard, works for him until he was arrested at the end of the Daredevil saga.

Owl

The Owl has briefly appeared in the Spider-Man: The Animated Series episode "The Insidious Six". He is portrayed to be one of the crimelords allied with Silvermane against the Kingpin.

Purple Man

The Purple Man appeared in the eighth episode of season three, "No Mutant Is an Island", of the X-Men animated series as a telepathic mutant [...] who plans on taking over the government using a group of young mutants under his mental control. In the end, Cyclops gets in his way and eventually defeats him.

Stick

The character is depicted in an episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series (Episode name: "The Sins Of The Father: Chapter VI: Framed") in flashback as Matt Murdock recalls his education under the sensei's tutelage.

Stilt-Man

Stilt-Man made a guest appearance on the Iron Man episode "Armor Wars" Pt. 1 voiced by Dorian Harewood. His armor was based on Tony Stark's Iron Man technology when he is seen when he was trying to rob a building from the outside. Iron Man used his drill armor to take out one of the legs and then attached a Negator Pack on him.

Typhoid Mary

Typhoid Mary makes a non-speaking cameo appearance in the X-Men episode "Beyond Good and Evil pt. 3." She appears as one the psychics captured by Apocalypse (including Psylocke, Oracle, Moondragon, Emma Frost, Stryfe, and Rachel Summers).
