10 Characters Who Should Appear In Spider-Man: Homecoming

10. Kenny “Kong” McFarlane

It’s evident that Homecoming is going to focus in on Peter’s life at high school, and one of the recurring themes he deals with in that setting is bullying. Civil War already established that Peter is constantly getting beat up at school, or is at least claiming to be, so it would make sense that there is an antagonistic presence there.

While they could go for the traditional bully route with Flash Thompson, a more rounded character like Kong could help freshen up that dynamic. Introduced in Ultimate Spider-Man, Kong is outwardly antagonistic to Peter but it shown to have a lot more to his personality as well.

He respects Peter’s athletic ability and typically pushes him around in an effort to fit in himself. To make their relationship even more complicated, Kong is also an avid supporter of Spider-Man.

Kong can function as a one-dimensional bully to Peter, but he also offers a lot of room to develop into more than that, making him a useful secondary character to include in the high school setting.
