After finding a new place to stay, Kraft also took some time to learn about this world from Angela.

On the surface, this world seemed even worse off than the first parallel world, where Spider-Man was the only superhero. Aside from Daredevil, whom he had already met, the only known superhero so far was that weapons fanatic, the Punisher.

And this Punisher, Frank, had only recently appeared in Hell's Kitchen, shortly after Wang Mian's identity was exposed and the gangs and police joined forces to hunt him down. He had practically picked up where Wang Mian left off, going after the gangs.

Since Frank had been active in Hell's Kitchen for so little time, he had escaped everyone's notice except for the Irish Mob he had targeted. Even they had initially mistaken his handiwork for Wang Mian's.

On the criminal side, that fat bastard Kingpin had been sent to prison by Daredevil some time ago.

That was also why Wang Mian and his friends had been dragged into the gang wars. Without Kingpin controlling all of New York's underworld, the other gangs had started fighting over business and territory, and Wang Mian's group had been caught in the crossfire.

Aside from Kingpin, Bullseye was the only one left with anything resembling a special ability. He hadn't gone to prison with Kingpin. After Kingpin's downfall, he had become something like a mercenary, and his throwing skills had let him live quite comfortably.

The remaining criminals and gang members were all ordinary people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have failed to catch even a half-baked assassin like Wang Mian.

Although this world seemed to have almost no supernatural powers on the surface, Kraft hadn't forgotten that he had successfully drawn on the power of Hell when he first arrived.
