History
Early life
Wilson Fisk was born around the year 1970. At an unknown point, he started a spice business, where he made his fortune. By 2010, he had become one of the most powerful crime bosses in New York City, secretly controlling the city's organized crime families as the feared Kingpin. As part of his criminal empire, Fisk used several warehouses throughout the city to house resources and men, while operating out of Fisk Tower. Publicly, he posed as a wealthy philanthropist and legitimate businessman.
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 at an unknown point 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, likely to blackmail Osborn should the mayor ever threaten his position.
Somewhere around 2010, Fisk, at the age of 40, learned that one of his enforcers was taken out and arrested by the wise-cracking vigilante Spider-Man. Despite managing to get his enforcer out of prison via bail, Fisk knew that Spider-Man would be a threat to his operations and made it his mission to kill him. In their first fights, Fisk consistently defeated Spider-Man, keeping his criminal operations secret. As a result, Fisk remained in control of his empire until eight years later.

In 2018, after amassing enough evidence, Captain Yuriko Watanabe and the New York City Police Department eventually moved on Fisk Tower though he had his thugs engage in a public shoot-out with the police as means of distraction. During his attempt to escape, Fisk had his men attempt to erase all data of his criminal activity though this was stopped by Spider-Man whom he mocks and bombards with all of his might and men though it was not enough to stop Spider-Man.
Eventually, Spider-Man apprehends Kingpin and the police arrive to arrest him. As he is being taken away, Kingpin warns Spider-Man of the incoming power vacuum that will occur now that he has been arrested.
Though imprisoned, Fisk's absence began a string of events in New York City. The small-time criminals and drug-dealers he kept in check were free to sell their product without the fear of the Kingpin, bringing what Fisk predicted to Spider-Man come true. It also gave Martin Li the opportunity to seize all of Fisk's territory and ammunition, leading to the Inner Demons growing in power and boldness which peaked at the City Hall Bombing and gang war with Sable International. In turn, this allowed Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six to rise up and threaten the city with the Devil's Breath.
Fisk did attempt to keep his criminal empire alive under the disguise of Consolidated Shipping, his legitimate construction company, by laundering his ammunition, funds and drugs. When Spider-Man was able to dismantle these bases, Fisk called him, unfettered and promised retribution.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
More than a year after the defeat of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister six, Fisk is nowhere to be seen or head from during Tinkerer's campaign against Simon Krieger, during which Miles Morales, Peter Parker's superhero apprentice, takes over his role as the sole Spider-Man in New York City while Peter goes to Symkaria with Mary Jane.
It's revealed that since Fisk's imprisonment, the Fisk Tower has fallen in decay and been scheduled to be demolished soon. During the meantime, Tinkerer and The Underground, her own gang, have taken over the building as their hideout, even vandalizing a screen with Fisk's face on it to mock him, joking that they own the Kingpin now.

Abilities
Wilson Fisk displays inhuman levels of strength and durability. Despite his overweight appearance, he has only has 2% body fat with the rest of his body being pure muscle. He has trained himself to be able to use his exceptional physical stature and even displays superior acrobatic prowess when fighting Spider-Man. He does not get injured form being hit by falling several stories or even having large chunks of concrete thrown at him. Mary Jane mentions that Fisk sliced open Peter with a Katana once, indicating Fisk's swordsmanship.

Trivia
- Despite being actually an antagonist, Wilson Fisk can be considered an anti-villain, as while he is a mobster and resolves to do whatever he needs to achieve his goals, he still controls some legitimate businesses and ironically, his way to control crime in New York City ensures relatively peace for the New Yorkers, something even Spider-Man himself later realizes.
