Kingpin’s Complete MCU Timeline Explained
Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, has had his backstory explored in great detail in the MCU. After debuting as Wilson Fisk in Marvel Television's Daredevil series, Vincent D'Onofrio reprised the role of the iconic Marvel supervillain during the MCU's Multiverse Saga. Fisk made his first appearance in the MCU proper in 2021's Hawkeye, and returned again in 2024's Echo ahead of his starring spot alongside Daredevil alum Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock in Marvel Studios' upcoming Daredevil: Born Again. Kingpin is one of the most recognizable and beloved villains in the MCU, and has perhaps the most rich, brutal and well-developed history.
While Charlie Cox's Daredevil has faced several villains, including Frank Castle's Punisher, Benjamin Poindexter's Bullseye and Eugene Patilio's Leapfrog, Kingpin has been his most persistent and dangerous adversary. While Cox and D'Onofrio haven't yet reunited in the MCU, the fact that Marvel Television's Defenders Saga may now be canon to the MCU means that their live-action feud now goes back almost a decade. Marvel Studios hasn't confirmed the canon status of the Defenders Saga, but integrating the franchise into the MCU's official Disney+ timeline suggests Wilson Fisk's backstory may be retained, which allows viewers to explore his entire MCU timeline.
Wilson Grant Fisk was born in the early-1960s, and was raised in an abusive household, as Fisk's father, Bill Fisk, would abuse Wilson's mother, despite being seen as a strong figure by his son. Fisk was raised in a house of violence, particularly after his father lost the run for New York City Council. Bill Fisk descended into alcoholism, exacerbating the abuse, which prompted a 12-year-old Wilson to murder his father with a hammer. Fisk and his mother cut up Bill Fisk's body to hide the crime, before Fisk moved to a farm and spent several years traveling around Asia.
By 2007, Wilson Fisk had returned to New York City and had begun to build his criminal empire, planning to pull down Hell's Kitchen before building it back up. Among Fisk's recruits were the Tracksuit Mafia, led by William Lopez, and Fisk ended up building a close relationship with Lopez's deaf daughter, Maya. Fisk was incredibly protective of Maya, even going so far as to brutally beat an ice cream vendor who mocked her deafness and refused to sell her ice cream. Without prompting, Maya joined in with Fisk's assault on this man, marking the beginning of her violent tendencies.
Derek Bishop had taken a loan from Fisk prior to the Battle of New York, and worked for Fisk in exchange, but after Derek's death during the Battle of New York in 2012, this debt passed on to Derek's wife, Eleanor Bishop. Eleanor noted that she would happily take over Derek's role to clear his debt to Fisk, but that she didn't want to work for Fisk forever. While Fisk agreed that Eleanor wouldn't be indebted to him forever, paying off Derek's debt would take years, and Eleanor would in fact still be under Fisk's thumb over a decade later.
In the wake of the Battle of New York, Fisk saw an opportunity to put his plans in motion. He established Union Allied Construction to oversee government contracts rebuilding New York after the Chitauri invasion, but this was also a front for various criminal activities, including money laundering. Karen Page discovered evidence of these criminal activities, and when she shared the information with colleague Daniel Fisher, Fisk had Fisher killed and Page framed for the murder. When the Masked Man, a.k.a. Daredevil, helped to expose Union Allied Construction, however, Fisk liquidated the business and eliminated anyone who could implicate him.
