History

Wilson Fisk is a criminal mastermind who is involved in extensive illegal activities such as drug running, smuggling, murder, and so forth. Despite this, he has no criminal record and an army of lawyers to keep it that way, and is a criminal financial strategist without parallel. Fisk has no superhuman powers, but the majority of his 400-plus pound bulk is solid muscle. He is a superb fighter who has held his own against Spider-Man, but nowadays Daredevil occupies most of his attention. He has been aware of Daredevil's secret identity for years, thanks to Karen Page's indiscretion. He has employed any number of costumed criminals and assassins, notably Elektra, Bullseye and Typhoid Mary.

Wilson Fisk recently lost his criminal empire to one of his employees, who was working with his son Richard, in a bloody coup. He almost managed to regain it but was defeated by Daredevil, who replaced him as the new kingpin. Fisk is now in jail.

Powers & Abilities

The Kingpin has no superhuman powers. However, he is as strong and durable as it is possible for a man of his height, weight, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise to be, and he is a very large man (over six and a half feet tall). Like Captain America, Fisk is stronger than any Olympic athlete who has ever competed. His stamina is likewise honed to the virtual pinnacle of human abilility. He has remarkable agility and dexterity for a man of his size.

Aside from his remarkable physical advantages and special paraphenalia, the Kingpin is brilliant. He has self-educated himself to the university graduate level in the field of political science. He is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the organization and management of criminal and legal business operations. The Kingpin is a master of many forms of armed and unarmed combat, particularly sumo, jujitsu, and hapkido. His proficiency is such that he has beaten characters with superhuman abilities without too much difficulty in the past.

Equipment

He typically wears Kevlar armor under his clothing. Fisk sometimes carries a walking stick that conceals a laser beam weapon which is capable of firing a blast of concussive force sufficient for vaporizing a handgun (or a person's head) at close range. He typically wears an ornamental stick-pin that conceals a highly compressed chamber of sleeping gas that is effective if sprayed directy into his victim's face. Due to his wealth and intellectual industry, Kingpin could use far more advanced paraphernalia, but he prefers to use to such things as a last resort.
