Kingpin

*"I've spent much of my life alone. And for many years, I pretended that this was the source of my strength. I told myself I had free will. And in that time, I achieved a great deal. But I was not fulfilled. I was longing for a connection that I could imagine but I could not achieve. Searching and not finding."*
―Wilson Fisk to Ray Nadeem[src]**Wilson Grant Fisk** is a powerful businessman and crime lord with an interest with controlling New York City. Having formed alliances with other criminal enterprises, Fisk then used the aftermath of the Battle of New York to gain power in the city, and attempting to rebuild Hell's Kitchen by destroying and gentrifying it. His criminal activities brought him into a conflict with the vigilante Daredevil, as well as some of his partners who betrayed him, and he was arrested after his actions were leaked to the FBI. Within Ryker's Island, Fisk began building up a loyal band of criminals and came to run the prison. Seeking to destroy the crime competition in New York by the time he got free, Fisk had then assisted with the Punisher's escape, as he had desired to eliminate all competing criminal empires as the new **Kingpin**, pitting him in conflict with Nelson and Murdock who had sought to send him to prison.

Desiring his freedom, Fisk then set about a plan to exploit the FBI by exposing criminals in New York City in order to then be placed in the Presidential Hotel, where Fisk could continue with all of his criminal activities while focusing most of his efforts on exposing Matt Murdock as Daredevil. From his new position of strength, Fisk had then began to blackmail and to manipulate several government agents, including Benjamin Poindexter, to aid him with framing Daredevil as a terrorist, while he also ensured that his name was cleared within the eyes of the law so that Vanessa Marianna could return to him. However, all Fisk's schemes were finally thwarted by the posthumous testimony from Ray Nadeem, while Poindexter learnt all about Fisk's manipulation of him. Daredevil and Poindexter defeated Fisk, resulting in his arrest.

Having survived Thanos' Snap and been released from prison, Fisk had manipulated Ronin to murder the Tracksuit Mafia's current leadership, including William Lopez, thereby taking control over the organization. Following the Blip, Fisk strived to maintain his control over New York, although his plans were impeded by Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, which resulted in Eleanor Bishop then dissolving their partnership, and Maya Lopez discovering Fisk's role in her father's death. In an attempt to kill Eleanor, Fisk was wounded by Kate before being shot by Maya.
