(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Kingpin is a supervillain in the Marvel Universe who is an enemy of Spider-Man and Daredevil. Wilson Fisk is a criminal mastermind who is involved in extensive illegal activities such as drug running, smuggling, murder, etc. Despite this, he has no criminal record and an army of lawyers to keep it that way. In addition to being a brilliant strategist, Fisk is a superb fighter who has held his own against Spiderman, but nowadays Daredevil occupies most of his attention.
