A man of great size, and even greater wealth, Wilson Fisk is one of the mainstays of the criminal underworld. Unanimously recognized as The Kingpin of Crime, Fisk controls nearly all organized crime families on the East Coast that are not Maggia-affiliated (and some that are). As such, Fisk has run afoul of the majority of heroes in that region.

While possessing tremendous physical strength and resiliency, the power Fisk wields through his numerous gangs and criminal employees is even more daunting. An intelligent man, Fisk makes sure to never place himself in a situation in which the law can prove his responsibility for crimes, using middlemen and hired crooks to do his bidding.

The truly amazing thing about Wilson Fisk is that he's managed to stay out of the limelight for the most part.  Some people know his name, but for the most part he's a rumor of a whisper...an urban legend on the level of Kaiser Soze.
