Wilson Fisk to become Mayor of New York in Marvel Legacy

Does Marvel really expect us to believe that a lying corrupt rich New Yorker in the construction business with mob connections and other shady deals that have him constantly under investigation and has screwed over countless people could ever be elected to any position of power?

Nigga this is the same public that was okay with Norman Osborn running SHIELD and Hydra running America, how are you surprised by this?

Yes. Plenty have become Senators.

Well the previous mayor was JJJ

Who's hired mercenaries on two seperate occasions.

I genuinely dom't know if this is an actual question or Trumpbait

Should've just ignored it.

Wasting taxpayer money on an anti-Spider taskforce aside, he was a pretty decent mayor at leat.

I can almost guarantee it's trump bait

it's still funny

>wasting money

He was hard on crime. Guilliani tackled the Mob, JJ tackled Big Mask. "Superheroes" are the biggest protection racket

well they explicitly had him going around during Secret Empire saving as many lives as possible and telling everyon who confronted him that "I'm not asking for any payment or servitude. I'm doing this because when [secret empire] blows over, they will remember who it was that fed and sheltered them, and who it was that did nothing but brawl against each other in the streets"

Bloomberg

Nice stealth Sup Forums thread, mate. Here is (You)

He also recently published his own autobiography in which he oviously made himself look better by claiming he's left crime behind and he always has the city's best interest at heart anyway.

Why yes, because we just had a shitty Marvel event where we saw New York City be engulfed in mystical darkness and invaded by demons, and it was Kingpin who did all type of charity shit helping and protecting people without asking for any type of compensation, thus winning the people over.

Better question is why he would even want to become mayor.

is the eager guy in white meant to be a caricature of someone specific?

So they're ripping off the Netflix show, basically

Same reason Lex Luthor wanted to become president- just to piss off his enemies

Maybe he's sick of shit like magic darkness bubbles encapsulating the city and insane villains rising to power, and as such wants to be a sane villain who does so. I mean, it won't be the stupidest thing Marvel citizens have gotten behind recently.

Mayor of New York became somekind of meme-job in Marvel? First Jameson, now Fisk. Peter Parker for mayor when?

If lex Luthor can be elected president I don't see why this can't happen in marvel

I heard the idea is he starts targeting superheroes as illegal vigilantes. I'm just wondering if the idea is contained to Daredevil or not.

One would assume that Bendis' Defenders will probably touch on it too.

Matt Murdock was supposed to be mayor in an old storyline that got scrapped. I could expect that happening in my lifetime, but at least not for a while.

So now that they've had Civil War 2 they're going for a Dark Reign 2?

Does Trump have mob connections?

Ssssshh! Slott might be reading this thread!

Alleged Russian mob connections. Which is not farfetched, everyone knows the Russian mob is all over the north american construction industry (yes, Canada too).

I wonder what gangsters and rivals like Black Cat, Hammerhead, Tombstone, the Owl, Jigsaw and Diamondback will think of this development.
Will Fisk be tough on organized crime or look the other way if he gets a cut and they do what he says?

Yup. and Secret Empire was in several ways Secret Invasion 2, just with Hydra rather than Skrulls

Russian mob is like the Italian mob and the yakuza, every borscht surping, spagetti sucking and dog eating cunt is a part of it but it's mostly above board now.

Reminder

Haha it's over glumpf is finished! We are the #resistance just like Harry Potter it's over Voldemorts of the world

8/10
Keep up the good work.

Yes, but none of his supporters care, and the supposedly anti-Trump MSM barely talked about it, focusing instead on the stupid shit he kept saying.

It's cause of Secret Empire, laddie. He was shown protecting people and shit

>he starts targeting superheroes as illegal vigilantes
Probably not all superheroes. So far, we just know that Daredevil will be public enemy #1.

Screw that, he's responsible for Scorpion.

Which means that everyone killed by Mac as Scorpion and eaten as Venom was indirectly killed by JJ.

Has Wilson Fisk ever actually been convicted of anything?

DC had Lex as president of the US.

Just let it happen and see how it plays out.

Was this last Daredevil run any good? It looked like shit, honestly.

I'm all for Mayor Fisk. I'm intrigued and it's not OOC for the Kingpin.

JJJ is actually a stand up guy outside his raging hate boner for spider man.

Pretty much everyone in real estate has mob connections, and Trump's have never really been looked at all that closely by regulatory officials for some rea$on, but he sold caddies remodeled by mob-owned companies, mob-controlled unions seemed to not care that he built Trump Tower with nonunion illegal immigrants, etc. Stuff like that. Shady, but not really clear criminal activity.

As opposed to Wilson Fisk, who literally runs the mob and tries to personally kill superheroes on a regular basis.

You're not from NY are you? Have you seen the current Mayor and all the corruption around him yet he's most likely going to be re-elected.

Our leaders are corrupt? Shocking. The author is so brave.

*yawns*

The OP is obviously Trump baiting. Notice how specific his desription of Fisk is.

It's OK, not the best run ever but worth a read if you can get past some of the issues with mediocre artwork. Matt being an Assistant District Attorney instead of a Defense Lawyer is an interesting change of the status quo. Plus, he got the biggest judicial win in his entire 50-year career when he brought a case to the Supreme Court and managed to set the precedent that Daredevil and other masked heroes can testify before court.

As an actual New Yorker I can tell you that even if this is supposed to be Trumpbait it's not farfetched at all.

I can throw a dart at a board filled with the last dozen mayors of NY and any one I hit will have at least one major corruption scandal to their name.

Jigsaw will play along, Black Cat and Hammerhead are BFFs now and will probably oppose him, albeit not directly like the Owl and Diamondback probably will. Tombstone could go either way.

Chip Zdarsky's Spider-Man will probably also deal with this since they recently had an issue with Kingpin and an upcoming issue has him on the run from the law.

Has Shocker being head of the Magga been remembered by anyone?

Nope. Let's face it, he wouldn't be able to handle the job for more than 5 minutes.

No, but that at least has the excuse of possibly being one of the embellishments that Boomerang admitted to adding to the story in the final issue.

He was caught on camera at wrestlemania hanging out with a mobster Robert Libutti

His mob connections prevented him from opening a casino in Australia.

JJJ is the background of Mayor Bloomberg with the personality of Mayor Giuliani.

Wasn't there also a scene where Luke Cage lifted Trump's car? Also by Bendis?
