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.
