In most depictions he is just a fat big mob guy, but in this series it's revealed that his "fat" isn't actually fat. See, when kingpin first came out of prison and did his first heists, he was capital J Jacked. However as he started to spend more time behind the desk, he lost some muscle mass, making his skin sag a bit in some areas. You know those pictures of a body builder off-season? Yeah, that's Kingpin.

[@Rodanguirus]

@@thegentleduck4277 I'm not sure what you mean by "most depictions." In the original comics he's definitely revealed to be almost all muscle very early on, and he's also a major physical threat in the Ultimate comics, and in both the 2003 Daredevil movie and the Netflix Daredevil series, he's incredibly strong and isn't really fat at all. So what are these depictions when he's really just fat?

@@Rodanguirus Actually now that you mention it I only remember two examples. In Tod MacFarlane's run their is a moment where Kingpin is toppled over and can't get up and complains about his weight, and the other one is a post apocalypse version (where Peter kills Mary Jane with his radioactive spider jizz) in which the main bad guy has a catatonic, decrepit Kingpin looking extremely thin and skin flabby just because he can.

Kingpin was the perfect villain for the show, he always worked behind the scenes while getting guys to do his dirty work and was very good at covering his tracks even to the point of letting his own family members take the fall for him. The fact that three seasons into the series we learned about his backstory and had to also wait for him and Spider-Man to officially meet each other face to face makes the 90s cartoon even more epic.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

True, plus Kingpin origin also works as dark reflection to Daredevil's origin, who also had sad story involving his father, with the main difference being that, while Fisk's father was powerfull mobster who left his son in the prison, Daredevil's father, while being poor old guy, who made some mistakes, he tried to be a good father for his son and is this bond between that makes his death so tragic and Matt's reason to become a vigilante so understantable.
