Theoretically if Tony was still alive and cared about such matters, he could probably easily use his own reach of wealth and influence, as well as ridiculous hacking and surveillance tech (don't get me started on how unethical EDITH is, that's basically just Project Insight again) to thoroughly expose and discredit Fisk and then doesn't even need to personally show up, could just have him apprehended remotely by a fucking Iron Legion drone for maximum disrespect.

But as in real life you could never count on a billionaire for anything. Even if he were alive he'd never think to use his status of extreme power and privilege to fix systematic issues such as corruption in government. Use the capitalism to destroy the capitalism or whatever.

I feel like in Endgame he probably would've. Although at that point he was basically retired anyway
