10 Stupidly Risky Plans From TV's Most Notorious Villains

5. Wilson Fisk Goes Public - Daredevil

Netflix€™s Daredevil rescued The Man Without Fear from the scrapheap Ben Affleck launched him onto circa 2003, with a gritty, visceral take on his battle to save Hell€™s Kitchen. The series followed Matt Murdock as he laid down the law through the judicial system by day and with his fists by night. To summarise, it provided a thought-provoking, philosophical look at the blurred line between good and evil interspersed with awesome fight scenes. There can€™t be a hero without a villain however, and the show went big in the first season, opting for Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk. He's a man with big plans for his city, believing (as Daredevil does) that he is doing the right thing to save it. The only real difference is that his version of €˜right€™ involves extortion, murder, and explosions. Fisk€™s plan is as expansive as it is meticulous, he shrewdly commands from the shadows through shell companies and henchmen. That is until some of Murdock€™s chums discover that he murdered his father as a child. Fearing his credibility as the city€™s benefactor is at stake, he decides to make his involvement public. Far from being the right thing to do, this draws a ridiculous amount of attention to him. This questionable decision is the first of many which lead him straight to jail. If he€™d stayed anonymous the chance of anyone pinning any crimes to him, never mind catching him, would have been slim to none.
