| “ | The real Spider-Man couldn't even beat me. YOU'RE NOTHING! You took my family. And now, I’m gonna make sure you never see yours again. | „ |
| ~ Kingpin's villainous breakdown and most famous quote before he slams Miles Morales in an attempt to kill him. |
Wilson Grant Fisk, better known as the Kingpin, is the overarching antagonist of Sony Pictures Animation's Spider-Verse film trilogy.
He is a crime boss of New York City, the CEO of Fisk Industries, and the archenemy of the first Spider-Man, the late Peter Parker, who wants to bring back his family through his Super Collider even at the cost of destroying multiple universes.
He was voiced by Liev Schreiber.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He was a ruthless crime lord for several months onward, with him often fighting Spider-Man due to his position. Eventually, his wife Vanessa and son Richard witnessed one of his fights with Spider-Man occurring in their home just as he tried to kill him, which caused them to speed off and run away from him in horror only to die in a car crash due to being distracted by thinking of his act.
- He subsequently pinned all the blame on Spider-Man for their deaths.
- His end goal was to activate the Super Collider to acquire another reality's Vanessa and Richard who never died as substitutes for his loss, and he pressed ahead with his plan despite being repeatedly warned that the Collider's usage would cause entire universes including his own to collapse.
- He killed Spider-Man with a fist punch when he was already down, badly injured, and unable to fight as a result of his battle with Green Goblin, in a fit of pure anger and rage, when Spider-Man told him that his plan had no chance of succeeding.
- Upon noticing that Miles Morales had witnessed his killing of Spider-Man from behind, he ordered the Prowler to chase down and kill him.
- He fatally shot the Prowler in the back without hesitation when he refuted his order to kill the new Spider-Man, who turned out to be his nephew. He then tried to have Miles suffer the same fate as well.
- He held a memorial for his reality's Spider-Man at the top of Fisk Industries as a cover-up for activating the Super Collider down below it, while lying that he was an ally to Spider-Man.
- Even when the Collider was becoming unstable, he just told the Alchemax scientists to keep it running, ignoring the consequences.
- He attempted to kill the new Spider-Man for interfering with the Collider's activation.
- This also led to apparitions of Vanessa and Richard from other universes witnessing his crime and fleeing in disgust.
- After the encounter with Vanessa and Richard's apparitions, he tried to kill Miles/Spider-Man as revenge for him “taking away his family” by doing to him what he did to his reality’s Spider-Man, pinning all the blame for his family's alternates being alienated on the new one.
- As revealed in Across the Spider-Verse, the manner in how he could destroy the multiverse is made clear considering that Miguel O'Hara became Spider-Man 2099 after accidentally destroying an entire universe by acting as the father to his kids from another reality after the death of the other reality's version of him.
- Even after his defeat at the hands of Miles/Spider-Man, his actions have left numerous consequences such as:
- Through his Super Collider, Johnathon Ohnn, one of the Alchemax scientists, accidentally summoned the radioactive spider from Earth-42, which bit Miles from Earth-1610 instead of its native universe's Miles, depriving Earth-42 of its Spider-Man and indirectly leading to that Miles instead becoming the Prowler.
- His collider managed to fracture multiple dimensions while it was still on, leading to Miguel creating the Spider Society by gathering countless Spider-Men from multiple dimensions to stabilize the multiverse and avoid its destruction.
- The explosion of his collider was one of the reasons why Johnathon Ohnn became the supervillain the Spot, as it gave him the ability to generate portals throughout his body at the cost of his entire outside being disfigured, leading his relatives and acquaintances to cast him out and ultimately making him a multiversal threat once he feels underestimated by Miles/Spider-Man as a "villain of the week".
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He genuinely loved his wife and son, as he was devastated when they died, and his entire goal was to use the Collider to find alternate versions of them.
- When he saw versions of them from different dimensions inside the Collider, he begged them to not leave him, backing out on his fight with the new Spider-Man for a moment so he could reach out to them.
- His tragedy of losing his wife and son to a car crash serves as the motivation for his actions, making him too sympathetic to be NPE.
Trivia[]
- He was initially approved as Near Pure Evil but later it was deemed that his tragedy is too much of a prevention, therefore he was approved as Inconsistently Heinous.
- Although he is Inconsistently Heinous now, his status might change if he reappears in the upcoming third movie, Beyond the Spider-Verse, since the film trilogy is still ongoing.
