Wilson Fisk (Earth-5991)

"There was a man, he was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho when he was set upon by men of ill intent. They stripped the traveler of his clothes, they beat him, and they left him bleeding in the dirt. And a priest happened by, saw the traveler, but he moved to the other side of the road and continued on. And a Levite, a religious functionary, he came to the place, saw the dying traveler, but he, too, moved to the other side of the road, passed him by. But then came a man from Samaria, a Samaritan, a good man. He saw the traveler bleeding in the road and he stopped to aid him without thinking of the circumstance or the difficulty it might bring him. The Samaritan tended to the traveler's wounds, applying oil and wine, and he carried him to an inn, gave him all the money he had for the owner to take care of the traveler, as the Samaritan, he continued on his journey. He did this simply because the traveler was his neighbor. He loved his city and all the people in it. I always thought I was the Samaritan in that story. It's funny, isn't it? How even the best of men can be deceived by their true nature. But now I know...that I am not the Samaritan. That I'm not the priest, or the Levite. That I am the ill intent who set upon the traveler on a road that he should not have been on."

- - Kingpin Wilson Fisk, known in Gotham City's criminal underworld as the Kingpin, is the biggest and most influential crime lord of the city and one of Batman's greatest enemies. Heir to the Fisk family and the son of Bill and Marlene Fisk, Wilson grew abused by his father after his family lost their fortune against the Murdocks, which prompted him to kill Bill after a night in which he attacked Marlene. Sent to England in order to hide his track, Wilson only worsened, returning to Gotham years later with the intent of "saving" the city, only to be stopped by Batman. After being foiled, Fisk came to the realization his homecity only needed his vengeance, not his help, so he embraced his murderous side and became the Kingpin.
