Mayor Wilson Fisk

Wilson Fisk — the Kingpin of Crime — leveraged his underworld power and resources into a legitimate political victory, winning election as Mayor of New York City and transforming his criminal empire into institutionalized authority over the very city he once controlled from the shadows.

When Wilson Fisk traded the shadows of organized crime for the spotlight of City Hall, Marvel's Modern Age gained one of its most chilling political figures. Debuting in Daredevil #28 in 2017 under the sharp creative hands of Charles Soule and Ron Garney, Mayor Wilson Fisk represents a fascinating evolution of a classic Marvel villain — corruption given a mandate and a podium. His tenure in the mayor's office puts him in orbit around some of Marvel's finest street-level heroes, sharing pages with Matt Murdock, Daredevil, Foggy Nelson, and even Spider-Man and Peter Parker, making him a recurring thorn in the side of New York's most dedicated defenders. Across Daredevil and multiple Amazing Spider-Man volumes, this incarnation is well worth tracking down for anyone who loves their Marvel politics dangerous and their power plays ruthless.
