Background
Although the Kingpin became Daredevil's personal enemy later
on, his first appearance was in
Amazing Spider-Man #50. His real name (Wilson Fisk) wasn't revealed
until Daredevil #170.
He is a large man, who gives the appearance of being fat, until
you get close and see that all
the bulk is really solid muscle.
He dressed well, and originally carried a diamond-topped ray-projecting
'Obliterater Cane',
although at some stage it seems to have been replaced with something
less lethal - as its
obliteration powers weren't seen much in later books. Perhaps
it had a habit of accidently
going off and ruining the carpet.
He was married to a strong-willed woman who made several appearances.
His son, Richard
Fisk, appears in a couple of early issues as "The Schemer",
and then again much later as "The
Rose". Kingpin and Spider-Man are well matched opponents. Kingpin
was very strong, and
deceptively quick in a battle.
