2. He's More Ruthless Than You Can Imagine

Wilson Fisk has killed dozens with his bare hands. He has ordered the murder of hundreds, maybe even thousands. His criminal empire has lead to countless indirect deaths.

In a nutshell, Wilson Fisk is evil. But it's inconceivable to comprehend just how deeply malevolent he truly is.

When he found out that Spider-Man was a student at Midtown High school, he ordered his men to blew up the entire building. He emphasised and repeated that the building must be destroyed "while class is in session." This means that Fisk was willing to end the life of everyone in the school just to kill one guy.

That's pretty sick. But that's just one example. He fed his father to rats. He's murdered entire families. He had Peter Parker's aunt, May, shot by a sniper.

But the big question is; what's the most evil thing he has ever done?

One moment that springs to mind is when he came home to find his wife and son held at gunpoint by a group of gangsters. They told Fisk to drop his weapon or his child would be killed before his eyes.

Fisk didn’t want to lose his criminal empire so he shot the criminals. Before they dropped dead, one of the men managed to slash Fisk's son's throat. The only thing he could think of saying to his wife to console her is, “We’ll have another one.”
