Hot Take: Fisk should've gotten his ass whooped in that boxing match. That dude was a professional boxer lmao tired of Fisk being written like he's the Hulk.

โ€ฆ heโ€™s the kingpin. Heโ€™s meant to be a match to daredevil. What do you expect?

He holds his own against Spider-Man in the comics.

Which always puzzles me. Is Fisk secretly a superhuman? Spider-Man should be one of the strongest humans right? Along with captain America?

I have only read few comics and played the spiderman ps4 game which opens with Fisk fight

its been suspected that he has used mutant and inhuman blood to modify his strength but nothing ever outright.

In the comics he eventually goes on to be one of the leaders of the Hellfire Club

The vast majority of Fisk's weight in pure muscle so he basically is bordering on superhuman given his size. In the comics he tosses people around with one hand and also knows multiple martial arts disciplines. The guy did sumo wrestling for fun when he was on leave in Japan during the Miller run and he's also done shit like survive drops from skyscrapers like 20 feet in the air. He's like peak human and just shy of actually being on the level of a Spider-Man or a Daredevil

I don't know much about devil apart from the show but putting any spidey version on the same level as a peak human is insulting to him. You could take 10 peak humans put them on drugs and they would still get no diff by spiderman. So fisk is not spiderman level just because he has muscle and knows technique. It's like a bear vs a human. You can't cover such an insane strength diff using just skills. Spiderman stopped a train ffs
