But amid this crackdown on the villains, one man has found a way to thrive. Wilson Fisk has a secret, and its helped him stay a step ahead of the good guys and keep his criminal enterprise running like a clock. But what is his secret?
“Wilson Fisk is an opportunist, first and foremost,” says Rosenberg in an interview with Marvel.com. “Under his selfish motives, his brutal exterior, or even the façade he puts up as a pillar of his community, he is a man who sees ways to benefit himself and he takes them. The new Civil War will provide him a unique opportunity. He is a Civil War profiteer.”
