How Batman Would Defeat Every Spider-Man Villain

8. Kingpin

Growing up a poor child, Wilson Fisk went on a mission of self-improvement, and extensive reading, and gained strength, and physical power through bodybuilding. He used business techniques to organize the juvenile gangs, earning him the mocking nickname of “Kingpin”. Fisk worked as a bodyguard and an enforcer in the Maggia crime families and advanced through the ranks until he controlled larger areas of organized crime. Wilson invested the money from those crimes in legitimate businesses. He organized all the crime on the Eastern Seaboard and used the name the Kingpin of Crime.

Batman takes a special interest in “untouchable” crime bosses, especially when these corrupt individuals achieve political office as Fisk did as Mayor of New York City. Perhaps, it is because his family essentially built Gotham and he has spent so much effort improving it, Bruce takes their actions personally.

Batman might make the mistake of assuming Kingpin is fat instead of solid muscle. And, as sumo was not one of the disciplines that Wayne delved into in his studies, it might give Fisk a brief advantage if he gets Batman in a bear hug. However, Batman’s array of martial arts skills will no doubt send the larger man reeling in no time.
