History

In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Wilson Fisk is one of the main villains. This Kingpin is fairly close to the comics version, but he is often occupied with manipulating super-powered characters to do his bidding. He's 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. He's also involved in a power struggle with crime boss Silvermane. Initially, he operates behind the scenes until the "Framed/The Man Without Fear" two-parter, 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. 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, Doctor Herbert Landon replaced him. Kingpin remained at large throughout the series, although an alternate dimension's version was arrested in the series finale.

This series also described an origin for the Kingpin, somewhat different from the comicbook version. As a boy, Wilson Fisk was influenced by his father, who sought employment as a mob criminal. When older, Fisk assisted his father in robbing banks and jewelry stores, culminating in one robbery where his father escaped but Fisk, hampered by his already-considerable weight, was captured police. In adulthood, Fisk emulated his father's goal and climbed one position of seniority within the mob, adopting the alias "Kingpin". He has had his police file destroyed, removing all record from his earlier arrest. He arranged for the arrest and conviction of his father, still an aspiring but minor criminal, and declared that he did this because "Sacrifices must be made". It was also revealed that his fake name in prison was Wilson Moriarty. He maintains a strained relationship with his wife, Vanessa, who is well aware of his activities, while his son, Richard, works for him.
