Who is Richard Fisk?

Richard Fisk is the son of Wilson Fisk, the powerful crime lord known as the Kingpin. Devastated upon learning the truth about his father's criminal empire, Richard turned against him, eventually becoming an adversary operating in the criminal underworld himself.

Born into the shadow of Marvel's most dangerous crime lord, Richard Fisk made his Silver Age debut in The Amazing Spider-Man #83 (1970), courtesy of the legendary team of Stan Lee and John Romita. For over five decades he has haunted the pages of Marvel Comics, a figure defined by the complicated legacy of the Fisk name — sharing panels with Spider-Man, Peter Parker, and the Kingpin himself, Wilson Fisk. With two key collector issues to his name and a presence stretching from 1970 all the way to 2025, Richard is one of those characters whose longevity speaks to an enduring narrative pull that keeps writers and readers returning. If you're tracing the darker, more morally tangled corners of Spider-Man's world, Richard Fisk is a name well worth knowing.
