WhileDevil ’s Reign # 6from Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto at long last see the Kingpin defeat by Daredevil after losing control of his Thunderbolts , Fisk is secretly freed by his son Butch . He is then taken to a meeting with Quinn and Una Stromwyn , a rich and powerful comrade - sister duo whom Fisk has had dealings with in the past . Offering to help him sweep the outcome ofDevil ’s Reignunder the rug , they also propose their plan to make Fisk the next President of the United States so long as he diddle ball and works for them . While this chance at power would makeKingpin into Marvel ’s own version of Lex Luthorwho had his own stretch in the Oval Office in the DC Universe , Fisk epically turns the fling down .
Fisk rightly realise that a can of power that ’s given is n’t true office at all . Refusing to be beholden to the Stromwyns , Fisk jam Quinn ’s hand while hoping to set an example to his Logos Butch about what being a Fisk is all about . preparation toleave his character as mayor and Kingpin behind , Fisk leave behind his empire to Butch while opt rather to live the relief of his life history in peace with his new married woman Typhoid Mary . Rather than becoming the next POTUS , the world now believe Fisk is dead .
While it would have been fun to liken Fisk ’s four days with Luthor ’s , Kingpin ’s rejection is actually the far potent determination for his character . what is more , the last of a major part of himself going forward mirrors the death of the Matt Murdock identity as well , leaving only Daredevil in the wake of the New York war . At any rate , Kingpinmissing his opportunity to be even more like DC’sLex Luthorturned out to be an epic showing of true power at the end ofDevil’sReign .
