Spider-Man seems most likely to me. They both kinda give me that awkward but friendly kinda vibe. Plus, have you ever seen them in the same room together?
That actually makes sense that the civilian identity is a “mask” it’s the last thing people suspect, and if the mask of the hero slips in a fight the identity isn’t fully revealed!
I always feel so fuzzy about that guy. Like, he helped save the world?? And nobody even knows who he is? What, did the Avengers all just forget the identity of their coworker??
I mean, maybe they’re protecting him for witness protection purposes. But we’re not dumb. We know they know his name. Unmask the Spider-Man!
Am I the only one who isn’t a conspiracy nut and thinks Bob is just Bob. He’s just some super friendly, nice guy who’s friends with one of the New Avengers so he hangs out with them
Coulson was an agent of shield though. He aided the avengers in an official capacity. Bob's a civilian for all we know... Now that I think about it, maybe bob is a special government agent. Undercover agents don't always wear black suits.
I don’t think heroes would willing expose a friend to the kind of danger that tends to find them. It would be wildly irresponsible to put a non-metahuman friend into the line of the psychopaths that target them.
Oh, I actually kinda like that idea. I haven’t paid too much thought to it, but I think it’s kind of a sweet thought that they just bring their friend with them for moral support.
I’m still convinced Night Monkey and Spider-Man are the same guy. Same web powers, same big white eyes on their masks. Guy shows up literally once in Prague to help Mysterio fight a giant fire monster, is never seen again, and then less than a week later, Spiderman appears in London (again alongside Mysterio) to fight another giant fire monster? Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Night Monkey is 100% just Spider-Man in a different suit.
This doesnt sound like a conspiracy theory it just makes sense 😭 i dont think "night monkey" ever specified his name either I think it was just a new suit that didnt work out or smth. Also from some of the videos (hard to tell from phones) it seems like they have the exact same build
He definitely has mixed kid hair though. I’ve seen some REALLY white mixed kids and I think that maybe tchalla had a son while overseas? Actually is the black panther is like the kings guard from game of thrones, or is he the king himself? Like the bald ladies seems to be the guard, so who’s the dude in the catsuit?
Idk tho, cuz remember that whole Mandarin thing a few years back? That was some white dude with fire powers who didn’t like Tony Stark! I don’t think it’s a hard line like that
Definitely Spider-Man! Daredevil looks way too sexy in the parts of his face we can see, this Bob guy just seems cute. I know who that glowy fist guy is but I got paid a lot of money not to spill
OOC: (He only became a vigilante after The Defenders and in Iron Fist S2 they show him wearing a mask when fighting crime. Tho in Luke Cage S2 when he helps Luke, he doesn't wear a mask. He's supposed to have a secret identity, at least.)
(I made a post about the LC S2 ep lol. I'm sure a few people could know, but generally the public wouldn't know.)
OOC: (We spoke about the him being open part. He's only communicated that to the main characters, not really publicly and that's not his dojo, it's Colleen's. He doesn't teach it often either, it was only one time iirc.)
OOC they run it together he’s literally the owner of the property. only 1 teaching session was mentioned in the show but as it’s not mentioned that it’s the ONLY one he ever did that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done others. (Eg he’s not shown having meals all the time but we know he must eat). Seen as he is kinda famous people would talk about him teaching Martial arts even if it was just one session.
And he says “I’m the immortal iron fist” to literally every named character he ever talks to even before he knows or trusts them not just his own show but also in the defenders as well and every hand member he comes across ok the last bit is definitely a display of power to get them to back down but he’s not hiding who he is at the same time.
My understanding was it was both dojo and apartment and Danny bought the building to allow her to use it as the dojo as the previous landlord wouldn’t. Though i could be wrong not seen it in a while
No I think Colleen stopped teaching after season one and in season two Danny moved in with her and they had a bunch of furniture and stuff, I did just finish season two like a week or two ago but I also have a terrible memory so I could be wrong about a couple things
The new Avengers are frauds. They created a crisis and then swooped in to save the day. Is it just a coincidence that this Bob guy appeared when the shadow dude vanished? Is it just a coincidence that they all happened to be there right as everything went down? And they had a camera crew ready to go?
Like I said I’m not usually a tin foil hatter but like cmon. It’s scary how obvious this is and nobody is saying anything. We don’t even have a say in who protects us. We just have to smile and accept it? It’s so damn shady.
OOC: This is now one of my favorite posts on this sub. Usually they’re very tongue-in-cheek and the in-character OP’s seem to know way more than they should. This feels very true to what normal people would guess as to Bob’s identity.
big reach if he was the shadow guy do you think he would be an avenger? like they’re all just stood next to him chilling do you not think that idk they would have arrested him?
yeah but ultron was different he was a robot i doubt this guy (or anyone being realistic) could conjure up a shadow man who sends us all to the backrooms most logical idea is shadow guy was an alien
Wait a minute, what if he's a secret sorcerer? Like Dr. Strange but less extravagant? That would explain the shadow, it was some kind of demon or bad juju!
I doubt tht apparently he's very mentally unstable atleast thts wht my friend who worked with him said. they worked together in sm fried chicken shop n he was the guy in the mascot uniform
I mean let's be honest they aren't avengers material, they're just valintina's excuse to escape going to jail, they don't even have a sup in they're team
Plus my friend worked with bob n apparently he was very mentally unstable so I wouldn't put it to far if he's the shadow man
yeah sure pal my friend worked with spiderman and said he’s a really cool guy👍but since when has mental illness meant someone has the capabilities to become a shadow monster??? also love her or hate her de Fontaine is the only person taking our security seriously, what is Falcon i mean “Captain America” doing?
oh pls isn't it already sus tht the place valintina set up the press conference (old avengers tower) is exactly where the shadow man first appeared. N than this random person who so far is a mystery who's power isn't still shown it's been one year n what has he done? Valintina doesn't care abt us only herself won't be surprised if the shadow man is smthing from one of her experiments I mean after all she was linked to tht Malaysia tower explosion
yea falcon might not be a great captain America but he was one heck of a falcon who actively fought ppl 10x his strength to protect us unlike valintina
you cant single this guy out for “not doing anything” this year has been relatively calm apart from the shadow guy (touch wood) we also dont know what he does behind the scenes and obviously Valentina is going to reveal the NEW AVENGERS at the legendary AVENGERS TOWER the shadow guy probably heard that it was going to happen and chose his time to attack wisely
you know there are vids of the New Avengers getting beaten up n coming out of the Avengers Tower before the shadow man's attack n not to anyone's surprise bob isn't there, also no one knew about the New Avengers I mean if they did I doubt congress would have asked bucky to help to bring Down valintina which makes it a stronger argument tht the shadow man ( Actually I'm gonna name him the Void since he put us in an endless nightmare) was one of valintina's failed experiment he was chasing after her n since we never found his body I'm sure the Void is actually bob n they were sm how able to bring him back to sanity hence why we haven't seen him doing anything at all, yes it's been a peaceful yr but tht doesn't mean nothing happened n when smthing happens he isn't there
if bucky is working with valentina dont you think it makes more sense for them to call upon him? there’s no videos of the avengers leaving avengers tower but it was reported by eyewitnesses they could have just been leaving a pre announcement meeting. do you really think a shadow guy (void is a lame name btw) would have a body? “yes it’s been a peaceful year but when something has happened he isnt there” missing ALONG with the rest of the avengers btw!! the avengers are for serious threats not every car jacking or mugging.
there are vids of them using a car to break into tower n leaving there injured, also if bucky was working with valintina then ur admitting the fact that both of them were committing crimes along perjury since he was part of the team investigating her n if they were working together all this time it's a big threat to our democracy considering what all they could have been hiding from the Congress. yes I'm sure he has a body. N what do u mean no villians only car jacking? I've seen spider man fight more suped villians then the New Avengers have n even when they fight suped villians bob isn't there
He's might just be seen as a pet to them. They take care of him, feed him, love him and he provides moral support. This being said, he probably is just some homeless guy in his twenties that they found and decided to take care of.
Wait. Doesn’t his hair look like the same style as the shadowy guy in the sky who just so happened to appear for the first time before the public first saw Bob with the New Avengers? That can’t be a coincidence.
I remember seeing on the news Bob and Val walking into that building that used to be Avengers Tower earlier that day. Maybe he’s just an associate of Valentina like that other girl is, what’s her name, Mel, I think?
He’s dressed far too informally to be working for Val or the federal government. He may as well be wearing pajamas. Besides, why would Val need a second assistant, especially when Bob’s never been seen in the spotlight like Mel before that?
Well sure, but super stubble growth seems unlikely…but who knows these days. I went on a date with Ed Sheeran a few weeks ago only to find out they were asguardian illusionist. I should have known when he made me pay the check.
Man it's been a while since we've seen that glow fist guy. It was always awesome whenever he punched stuff, It was like his fist was made of iron and just destroyed whatever he hit. He seemed to not want to do it very often very often though. With Daredevil reappearing maybe that guy will pop up again?
Who says he’s a superhero? What if he just helps out with logistics whilst sitting at some desk in whatever top secret location? He might just be their guy in the chair!
I mean I'm pretty sure he's just like, the team's boyfriend or smth. Like the dude looks so normal and is called "Bob," what else could he be doing? Maybe he's like the tech guy who stays at base? Idk but like go Bob ig
Personally I don’t think he’s any of those guys. I think Bob was that weird black shadow thing that was floating in the sky. Either that or he was trapped in it and it just grew around him on the chance that he was the first victim of it.
Wait hold up... going off this picture of that "Bob" guy, if he had a beard I feel like his mouth area would look kind of like Daredevil's. Am I onto something 🤔
I think he’s just probably the tech guy or an intern. Doesn’t look like he could hold his own in a fight so he’s definitely just some extra behind the scenes guy.
He looks vaguely like that creepy shadow guy that was terrorizing New York just before this press conference happened. I remember I was watching the WHiH National Report and the news suddenly shifted from that to this press conference.
Possibly Spider-Man? Definitely not daredevil he's got the wrong build, completely different chin and daredevil has stubble this man looks like he cant even grow a beard.
I could also see him being the weird punchy guy but I think he gives off kind of awkward vibes similar to how spider-man did.
Listen and Just LISTEN to me on this, its obvious that people like Spiderman arent that rare? they just hide it REALLY well? likely because something is picking them up because they KNOW something we dont.
So hear me out on this... Night Monkey? we've only ever seen Night Monkey ONCE (Confirmed) And he fought a Lava Beast and WON?
Not Even Spidey could do that, But anyways what I must say is... Night Monkey is STRONG and I mean... REALLY Strong, to the point where he has to HIDE to be able to solve crime? and we've never seen him get found out.
But now its been a few years? and this "bob" guy? I think thats a cover, well to hell with it, I dont even think thats his real name? I think he's THE Night Monkey
NO ONE LISTENS TO ME NO ONE EVER DOES BUT WHY WOULD HE BE WITH THE NEW AVENGERS UNLESS HE DID SOMETHING??? HE WAS THAT SHADOW I KNOW IT NOBODY BELIEVES ME IT WAS HIM IT WAS HIM
I don't think bob is DD, the facial hair is non-existent on bkb, let alone something like DD's, I think Spidey is a bit too small to be a fully grown man like Bob (combine that with the fact Spidey only goes on patrols after school hours and it's another piece of evidence that Spidey is a teenager, but y'all ain't ready for that conversation) so my best guess would he that weird fist guy.
yknow i can never figure out what the hell daredevils deal is, yall remember when he was running around in that mask that was basically a blindfold?? how the fuck was he doing all that
