Tragic Crime Lord

**Wilson Fisk** (also known as **Kingpin**) is the main antagonist of *Marvel's Daredevil* TV series. He serves as the main antagonist of the first season, a minor antagonist in the second season and later returns as the main antagonist of the third season.

He is an extravagant, powerful, and rich megalomaniacal businessman interested in the future of Hell's Kitchen. This leads to a conflict with Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil, who is his own arch-nemesis.

He was portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He's tragic due to his abusive father, who he was forced to kill to protect his mother when he was just a kid.
* He deeply cares for his mother, Wesley, and Vanessa.
* He's pretty polite for the most part. He even lets an old lady keep her family's painting after hearing that she was a Holocaust survivor, only for Dex to kill her and take the painting later on anyway.
* In season 1, he was an anti-villain who wanted to make New York City a better place.
* He's not at all shy to get his own hands dirty in a fight with Daredevil.
* He takes out the entire Russian Mafia by brutally killing Anatoly, using blind delivery men to unwillingly suicide bomb their hideouts, and having the survivors (Vladimir included) executed by corrupt cops.
* He kills the smug Leland for poisoning his girlfriend Vanessa.
* While in prison, he gets Frank Castle to kill an inmate named Dutton so he can take control and then orders him released in the hopes that he'll continue killing other crime lords from the outside. Then, while Dutton dies on his hospital bed, Fisk gloats while staying by his side so he doesn't die alone.
* He finds out Daredevil's secret identity just by recognizing the punch from Matt's visit.
* He gets the FBI to give him house arrest at a penthouse both in exchange for ratting out the Albanian Syndicate and for his own protection after he bribes a fellow inmate into shanking him.
* After Daredevil finally defeats him for good, he shakes his hand and agrees to stay in prison so Vanessa (who ordered Ray Nadeem's murder) can stay free.
* Due to share the similar painful experinces, he genuinely care Maya Lopez like she's his daugther althought his love is kind of toxic.
* He offer Maya to become his successor or let her use the hammer that he used to killed his father to killed him to free her from pain of losing her father because of him.
* After defeats by Echo and her failed atempt to cure his pain, he decide leaves Echo and her tribes alone. Accept the fact that he will never get Maya back.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* He threatens those under his payroll and/or their loved ones in order to invoke fear in them, and has scum who're no longer useful to him disposed of. He even ordered a hit-on-run on one of Tammy Hattley's kids.
* Killed anyone who tried to leaves his organization. For example he tried to killed Eleanor Bishop, Kate's mother.
* He orders Elena Cardenas, an innocent old lady, killed by a junkie so that Nobu could have her apartment.
* He murders Ben Urich for involving his mother Marlene.
* He remorselessly orders Julie murdered in order to manipulate Dex into becoming a homicidal Daredevil copycat.
* He "shoots the messenger" by beating one of his dirty FBI agents to death at one point.
* Tried to make Echo to become a criminal like him, and when she refused he tried to killed all of her family along with other Choctaw tribe members out of spite. Taunting her that they will died like her father.
