Warning: Major spoilers forward for Hawkeye episode 6! Turn back today if you harbor't watched the time of year finale!

Hawkeye episode 6 had its fair share of surprises, from the revelation of the true owner of that Rolex spotter, to Eleanor Bishop turning bent on be the one WHO employed Yelena Belova, to Clint Barton's LARP-ing friends helping to save the day.

One huge moment, though, happened off-screen – and has Marvel fans shocked.

After Echo, AKA Maya Lopez, ground out in instalment 5 that Kingpin Crataegus laevigata have set her father up to be killed by Ronin, it seemed the crime boss and his niece were on a collision run over. They finally came face to face in episode 6, and Echo gets her uncle at point. The scene cuts outside, and and then we hear a bang and a thud.

Could Kingpin actually live dead, or is IT all an elaborate cook out? That remains to be seen, but for now, fans are torn.

"Man got hit aside a fast car, guess in the chest by multiplex arrows, survived multiple explosion arrows and hoi polloi really think Kingpin is dead from that gun blastoff," pointed out one Chirrup exploiter, piece another plainly asked: "WHY TF DID THEY Brawl THAT TO KINGPIN WWWWWWWHHHHHHYYYYYY"

"okay but wherefore tf is kingpin asleep?? i was looking forward to see him more," said another lover, just another believes he'll be back: "Noo wayy people retrieve #KingpinHawkeye is complete. C'mon people need kingpin he's gonna be back very soon."

"Nah man how Hawkeye gonna tease Kingbolt so more and then give him that ending???" one fan asked.

"Bigwig qualification his presence known in the MCU in a adult way has ME giddy for his future. Especially with him and Echo," said another fan.

One fan believes the scene lays the groundwork for an important comic book moment.
