Marvel's NIGHTWATCH Rumored To Appear in SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

An obscure Marvel hero is rumored to be in Spider-Man: Homecoming, largely because of some strange things happening at Sony Studios. According to Bleeding Cool, a lot of employees are going out and buying up Nightwatch comics.

Since Nightwatch was created initially for the Spider-Man universe, his character is up for grabs to appear in those films. 

Nightwatch (who got a lot of flak for looking like Spawn) is Dr. Kevin Trench. One day, Trench is attacked and saved by Nightwatch who dies in the battle. Trench is shocked to discover that Nightwatch is an older version of himself from the future. Trench dons the suit knowing that his fate will one day be to die saving himself. 

His suit is self-regenerating and blocks his ability to feel pain. It also enhances all his abilities to superhuman levels and acts as a weapon at times. It sounds a lot like the venom symbiote, except it doesn't make you crazy.

I guess if this hero is appearing in the new Spider-Man movie, that would be cool, but honestly, I don't know how he will fit into this film from the footage I've seen at Comic-Con. Perhaps there are other plans for the character (like appearing in a future movie after Homecoming), or I'm not seeing the big picture.
