5. Wilson Fisk has had enough
Comic book: Daredevil No. 28
Wilson Fisk was the Kingpin. After becoming the Mayor of New York, he gave up that life hoping to go legit and really help the people. That lasted all of about a year. Fisk is now back to dabbling in organized crime all while being the mayor.
Daredevil and Wilson Fisk have been butting heads for decades. A rivalry that won’t end until one of them is dead, we find out how true that is in the recent issue of Daredevil. Wilson Fisk has decided that he’s actively going to try and kill Daredevil in jail and the one carrying on his legacy in Hell’s Kitchen (Elektra).
Why is this important?
No one was shocked by Wilson’s change in direction. Every so often he goes after Daredevil with everything he has. This time, it looks like he’s taking a more subtle approach. Daredevil’s (Matt Murdock) food was poisoned. Normally, he wants a dramatic showing of it. Maybe now Wilson wants this rivalry over with without the drama.
Things will have to be different with Elektra. All he’ll have to do to draw her out is cause a ruckus. She will immediately respond. If she wasn’t posing as Daredevil, whoever Wilson sent would be killed. Since she’s trying to show Matt that she can go without killing, her battle will be challenging. It’ll be fascinating to see who Wilson throws at her.
