4. Wilson Fisk
Appears On: Daredevil Wonderfully developed and far from pure evil, Fisks journey across season one was thrilling and electric, putting him squarely on the path towards truly becoming the Kingpin in future seasons of Daredevil or any of the other Netflix shows he may also appear in going forward. Daredevils first season was as much Matts story as it was Fisks, with neithers development being sacrificed for the others, and there's little doubt that it won't be long before Fisk is rising to the top again to reclaim all he's lost with a vengeance. 2015 in the MCU saw a number of antagonists doing their thing, from an army-wielding robot supervillain to an Inhuman leader trying to cull humanity to a man willing to endanger the world by weaponizing Yellowjacket suits, but it says a lot when one of their best new villainous faces was just a man whose biggest goal was destroying a neighborhood in Manhattan so that it could be rebuilt anew. The second season of Daredevil may be putting the focus on the moral and physical conflict between Daredevil and the Punisher, but it's still exciting to see if and how Fisk fits into the season-long narrative, no matter how small a part he may have to play.
