History:

(Marvel Team-Up Annual#4) - A top aide of the Kingpin, Heinrich von Schnickel-Schnapp heard his boss's fury at the Purple Man disrupting a recent drug shipment. The Kingpin yelled at another aide, Hildy, then ordered Heinrich to go after the Purple Man. Heinrich tracked down the Purple Man to the Plaza Hotel and used suction cups to scale the walls to the penthouse, where he found cops standing on their heads, leaving him confused. Heinrich started trailing Purple Man in Central Park, where he jumped in a horse carriage, though Purple Man took control over him, nearly causing Heinrich to shoot himself. Spider-Man tried arresting them both, but Purple Man ordered him to take a flying leap, then had Heinrich take him to see the Kingpin, who was resistant to Purple Man's control and formed an alliance with Purple Man. In a ploy to lure all his greatest enemies into one location, Kingpin had Purple Man stage a public speech, where various heroes could potentially fall under his control. Kingpin ordered Heinrich to hide behind the podium, wearing ear plugs that would keep him safe from Purple Man's control, in order to kill Purple Man at the conclusion of Killgrave's speech. Later, J. Jonah Jameson introduced Purple Man as a speaker to a gathered crowd. Soon a battle broke out with heroes  Power Man, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Spider-Man, and Daredevil. In the chaos, Heinrich lined Purple Man in his sights, but a blow from Moon Knight knocked him out.  Hildy delivered news of the failure to Kingpin.

Schnapp is German for "snatch" (the verb). The word Schnickel I had to google myself. Defintions I found went from a small snail to an euphimism for the male reproduction organ.
