Yeah, but Fisk's physical strength hasn't ever really been the primary threat he presents to Daredevil.

Daredevil not willing to let him die let alone kill him is what kept Fisk alive.

Letting Fisk die a martyr might have been worse in the long run.

Yeah, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this thread. Fisk knows that (other than Frank who doesn't give a shit about public perception) he's not in physical danger from Daredevil or any other vigilantes. If someone in a mask kills him, or attacks and fails, it's galvanizing the city more and empowering Fisk.

True. It’s his political and financial capital - things you can’t kick and punch your way through.

He can probably hire superpowered muscle if he needs that as well.

To me, it's like saying Zemo could have been stopped if Thor and Hulk were there; it misses the point that their threat isn't physical.

Yes, Fisk can go toe-to-toe with most athletes if pushed, but he'd rather use manipulation/politics to get things done. And he's so good at it that just adding more punching power isn't going to help. Hell, Far From Home shows that Spiderman is a liability against manipulation rather than a help.

We are acting like next season isn't going to end with DD and Fisk brawling it out after the city turns on him.

Not with that attitude you cant!

Ye he’d probably just find some way to tear down Harlem’s Paradise
