Or just have someone execute her, like he originally tried to do at the party.
Even that was not a great plan.
Let's start by saying I called the other guy retarded not because the decision of killing her, but the fact @AP thought a crime boss such as Kingpin would commit murder in public, in front of a lot of people, cameras and countless cell phones. Other than retarded I don't know what to call it.
But killing her itself was not a good idea to begin with. First of all Eleanor was fully capable of carrying out her threats. She killed people, Armand III and maybe even her husband, framing the man she loved, her fiance, that is not someone to be taken lightly. Without getting rid of those evidence, killing her was not wise to say the least.
Secondly, Eleanor was valuable only because of Bishop security, which I think has been conducting illegal surveillance on Kingpin's behalf. So a wise plan would have been kidnapping both Eleanor and her daughter, threaten Eleanor with her daughter's life and forcing her to sign over the company (your signature or your daughter's brain will be on that contract.), a corporate buyout as cover story.
That would have been at least another 3 or 4 episodes, even few seasons of stories. I mean the kidnapping, the threat, Eleanor of course will be killed (ripping her head off would have been great, but might be a bit heavy for Disney channel. Kingpin and Disney channel were never a good fit, maybe that was why they killed him off).
Afterwards an revenge story of Kate (Her being alive would have been a part of the deal and Kingpin was a man of his words, well probably) with the help of Clint, Yalena and Maya. That would have done the Kingpin story arc justice.
But obviously Disney did not have the patience for a story like that, so they did a quick wrap up, in a stupid and very typical Disney cartoonish fashion.
