Wilson Fisk, known also as the Kingpin, is an antagonist in Marvel's Spider-Man, and Miles Morales. He is a notorious crime boss with an extensive criminal empire, whose influence throughout New York City runs deep. Fisk's company, Fisk Construction, and his art auction house are prominent in the city and used for money laundering for his empire. His headquarters, Fisk Tower, is usually located in Manhattan.
Fisk was an adversary of Spider-Man for eight years until the vigilante defeated him and ensured he was arrested. Upon arrest, Fisk warned that his arrest would create a power vacuum in the criminal underworld that other rival gangs would fight to fill. His warning consequently happened. While behind bars, Fisk had his men try to secure his release. He also attempted to re-establish a presence in the city, harming businesses in Harlem to drive down property prices so he could gain control over them.
Early history
Fisk was born in 1970.[a] At some point, he rose to power, gaining control over most of the city. His control included influence over the city's police, judges, and the city council. Publicly, Fisk was a legitimate businessman with his Fisk Construction and his art house. However, his art was used to launder money to buy stolen goods, and his Fisk Construction sites were involved with drug cartels, money laundering, counterfeit money, and selling illegal exotic weapons. At one point, when Fisk began illegally importing artifacts, he bought the local harbor and laid off the old staff, including Mary Jane Watson's father, to avoid police detecting his criminal actions. He is also implied to have been a closet drug user, according to a conversation between criminals during a narcotics sale. At an unknown time, Fisk was approached by Norman Osborn to construct a facility for Project GR-27's production. Fisk agreed to build the facility but later learned about the nature of GR-27. Referring to the serum as "Pandora's box," Fisk kept a file on his discoveries hidden in a Nioh statue, along with invoices from Osborn's personal account to Fisk Construction, hinting that he intended to blackmail Osborn should the mayor ever threaten his position. Fisk was the nemesis of Spider-Man, who is also known as Peter Parker. Their first battle occurred around 2010,[b] when Spider-Man put one of Fisk's enforcers away, causing Fisk to hold a grudge for years. Parker fought him for the next eight years, alongside police captain Yuriko Watanabe. On one occasion, Fisk nearly killed Peter by cutting him open with a katana. Officer Jefferson Davis also investigated the Wilson Fisk case for several years. At some point, Fisk hired Aaron Davis, the Prowler.

Marvel's Spider-Man
In 2018, during "Clearing the Way" and "The Main Event", Spider-Man assisted the police in capturing Fisk at Fisk Tower, despite Yuri's initial reluctance because of the skill of Fisk's lawyers. Spider-Man thwarted Fisk's attempt to wipe his data servers of incriminating evidence and fought him in his office in a showdown leading to his defeat. Fisk was sent to the Raft, but ominously warned Spider-Man that he was the one keeping order in New York and that Spider-Man would wish for him back within one month. Fisk's absence inspired Martin Li to lead the Inner Demons to seize Fisk's territory and weapons, and later caused the almost wiped-out Maggia to stage a comeback. It also led the police short staffed given how many officers were put away for being on Fisk's payroll, forcing Mayor Osborn to hire Sable International. Meanwhile, Fisk still managed to control his empire from prison, as criminal activities continued to take place at his businesses. During "Straw, Meet Camel", Spider-Man briefly cooperated with Fisk by protecting his workers at Midtown's construction site from the Demons in exchange for information about them, though Fisk gave vague answers after doing so. In "Error: File Not Found", Fisk attacked the police department to have evidence against him deleted, only for Spider-Man to stop them.
Appearance
Fisk's appearance can be described in one word as "imposing." He towers over most people and has the weight of over two average men. In his normal business attire, he generally wears a dark suit with a lapel and striped tie. During her first-ever meeting with Fisk as a junior reporter, Mary Jane Watson described it as "standing next to a creature out of folklore or from another world," labeling him as "tall, broad, and built on a more massive scale than anybody [she'd] ever seen." His colossal stature is further exemplified by how, when shaking his hand, she felt like a child shaking a troll's hand.
Personality
Fisk is ruthless, calculating, cruel, and composed. He values order and control, maintaining a calm demeanor, that is only cracked when losing his temper in frustration. Fisk shows disdain for both Spider-Men, viewing them as beneath him, but values them as threats. His ability to control much of New York City, his backup plans of keeping blackmail material on allies, and multiple diverse sources of revenue speak both to his cunning and to his relentlessness. Fisk also displays an affinity for high art and culture. Though Fisk is motivated by power and control, he shows a level of concern for New York City. While running his criminal empire, Fisk kept worse criminals at bay. His frustration with Spider-Man's takedown of him came from his inability to do so once put away, revealing he cared more for the city's well being than his impending incarceration. When making a deal with Spider-Man, Fisk prioritized the protection of his employees, showing some concern for them also. However, Fisk's criminal activities involved illicit weapons and drug trades, suggesting this concern was limited.
Abilities
Fisk has a large, overweight muscular frame, making him incredibly strong and resilient. During his battle with Spider-Man, he could use his bare hands to break stone, cave in steep pipes, and hurl men through brick walls. He also withstood concrete that Spider-Man threw at him and survived falling from several stories. Despite his frame, Fisk's agility and dexterity have also been honed by years of training. Fisk's main strength, however, is as a formidable strategist. His influence allowed him to control many of New York's police, councilmen, and judges, at one point meaning one of his enforcers after being put in jail was released within a few hours. His strategies involve destroying evidence that can be used against him, keeping blackmail material on high-ranking officials such as Mayor Osborn, and diversifying sources of illicit revenue.

That's perfectly fine. I just feel like I'm seeing a lot of what Fisk's saying transpire around us. Afterwards he tells Spider-Man to take down the Kangaroo I think. If you mean his talk, it’s Fisk telling Spider-Man about how his help to New York goes unappreciated just like him.
