Wilson Fisk (Earth-21399)

Early Life
Wilson Fisk's father, Joseph, was an enforcer for New York's premier mob boss, Don Rigoletto. Bullied extensively at school for his weight, and abused at home by his father, Wilson often spent his time alone studying in the public library.

At some point, Wilson's mother committed suicide in an effort to escape her controlling husband. This caused Joseph to direct all his abusive behaviors to Wilson. After taking one beating too many, Wilson decided he was done being pushed around and killed Joseph at the age of twelve by spiking his beer with sleeping pills and then beating him to death with a cane.

After disposing of his father, Fisk claimed Joseph had simply walked out on him following the death of Fisk's mother. He spent the rest of his childhood living with relatives on a small farm upstate.

Rise to Power
Fisk's driving goal to make sure nobody could ever hurt him again. First, he honed his physicality by training in sumo and other martial arts in Japan, where he simultaneously started a shipping company that specialized in the import of spices from the Far East, making a vast fortune.

Then, after returning to the United States, Fisk took control of various mobs by killing their bosses, enticing thugs with promises of vast wealth and positions in his new construction business - promises Fisk usually kept.

At some point, Fisk met and married a French woman named Vanessa Marianna. They had a son named Richard within two years of their marriage.

Making Enemies
Fisk's reign as the Kingpin of Crime in New York went relatively unchallenged until two people came along that would seriously threaten his status: the masked vigilante known as Spider-Man, and the small-time but high-profile district attorney, Matt Murdock, who also secretly operated as another masked vigilante known as Daredevil. Since Spider-Man was the more obvious and immediate threat, Fisk directed most of his resources towards taking down the wall-crawler.
