Article Summary

Wilson Fisk plays a dual role, aiding mutants but remains NY's villain.
His act to save mutants may link to Typhoid Mary's fate.
Fisk's mayor legacy and criminal charges collide with his public image.
New York's criminal underworld is unstable, hinting at a Gang War.

Over in today's Invincible Iron Man #12, Wilson Fisk, is playing the good guy when it comes to the mutants, in order to reunite himself with his wife, Typhoid Mary – although last time we checked, it was in revenge for her death. It may be more about her being resurrected…

….but to do so, he does have to publicly continue to throw the mutants under the bus.

Though… hang on, isn't there still a call out for his arrest for the murder of Matt Murdock, one that he had to seek sanctuary in Krakoa with Typhic Mary over? The impact of Wilson Fisk as mayor of New York still pushes down hard over in Amazing Spider-Man #38.

As Wilson Fisk is named a criminal on camera, at the same time as he is getting medical care and screen time. Someone really should join the two together.

And the criminal gangsters of New York are also not too happy with this either, as they start to take each other out.

Is this Blood Hunt foreshadowing with Avengers as Blade as well?

And of course, framing superheroes as "super cops" plays in all sorts of ways depending on your position and your politics. Will Gang War divide like Civil War did? Which side would you be on?
