As a boy, Wilson Fisk was influenced by his father, who sought employment as a mob criminal.
This series also described an origin for the Kingpin as seen in "The Man without Fear", somewhat different than the comic book version. The Kingpin has proven to be more than a match for Spider-Man, eluding capture and even capturing Spider-Man on occasion. Another alternate version was shown to be the lawyer of that dimension's Peter Parker, though he proved just as underhanded as his counterparts. The Kingpin remained at large throughout the series, although an alternate dimension's version was arrested in the series finale. The Kingpin's main associate here was at first Alistair Smythe, but after Smythe nearly betrayed the Kingpin because he believed Kingpin was going to kill him for placing his son in jail during the Daredevil two-parter, Dr. Initially, he operated behind the scenes until the "Framed/The Man Without Fear" two-part episode, where his identity was revealed to Spider-Man with the help of Daredevil, who was seeking revenge for his father's murder at the Kingpin's hands. He is also involved in a power struggle with crime boss Silvermane. His body mass is stated in this continuity as being only "2% fat", a statement followed by the declared possession of "350 pounds of muscle." He is the mastermind behind the creation of the Spider-Slayers and is responsible for the creation of the Insidious Six, the animated equivalent of the Sinister Six. His physical abilities are generally depicted the same as his comics counterpart, except in one instance when he toppled a huge robot. In addition, as opposed to just being a crime lord in New York, the Kingpin has a global criminal organization his headquarters is simply located in New York (in the Chrysler Building, which he dubs "Crime Central"). This Kingpin is fairly close to the comics version, but he is often occupied with manipulating superpowered characters to do his bidding. He was voiced by the late Roscoe Lee Browne. He also had an ex-wife named Vanessa Fisk. Some of his former supervillains, lieutenants, and business partners eventually become his enemies, such as Green Goblin/Norman Osborn, Hobgoblin, Chameleon, The Spot/Jonathan Ohnn, Silvia Lopez, and Alistair Smythe. He also had many lieutenants and business partners that work for him, such as his son Richard Fisk, Herbert Landon, Hammerhead, and Mendel Stromm. He also serves as the founder of the Insidious Six and has many supervillains, such as Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Rhino, Scorpion, Shocker, and Vulture, work for him.
He is also the archenemy of Daredevil, Silvermane, and Black Cat. He is a powerful and wealthy crime lord of New York City and one of Spider-Man's archenemies.
