The Rise of Kingpin: A New Chapter in the MCU

Exploring Kingpin's political ambitions and the potential impact on beloved superheroes like Luke Cage and Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kingpin's Political Ascent

In a surprising turn of events, the notorious Kingpin, known for his criminal empire, is now eyeing a different kind of power - political power. After several encounters with vigilantes and heroes, Wilson Fisk seems to have set his sights on a new venture: a political campaign.

This shift in focus hints at a possible adaptation of Marvel's Devil's Reign storyline, where Fisk, as the NYC mayor, outlaws all superheroes in the city, setting the stage for a showdown between the heroes and the kingpin of crime.

Luke Cage: A Target of Kingpin's Ambitions

Among the superheroes who may face Kingpin's wrath, Luke Cage stands out as a prime target. Once a defender of Harlem, Cage finds himself in Kingpin's crosshairs as a symbol of superhuman lawlessness.

As Kingpin's anti-vigilante campaign gains momentum, Cage's past actions, including his rise to power as a crime boss, make him a convenient scapegoat in Fisk's crusade against masked heroes.

The Web of Targets: Who's Next?

While Daredevil, Hawkeye, and Echo may be on Kingpin's radar for persecution, he is likely to start with easier targets like Luke Cage. The former hero's actions, once noble, now serve as ammunition for Kingpin's smear campaign against vigilantes.

As the net widens, other street-level heroes such as Spider-Man, Punisher, and Jessica Jones could find themselves in Kingpin's sights, their reputations at risk in the political game orchestrated by the cunning crime lord.
