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.

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.
