Kingpin believes he is on a mission to save New York , his home , and with that , he represents the precise type of motivating and position that Thanos had . Thanos conceive he was doing the veracious thing , having find the death of his planet , Titan , and think he screw the solution . This logic allowed him to apologize murdering trillions , and a villain who believes they are in the right is much more terrifying than one who knows they are unseasonable . Kingpin , like Thanos , will go to any lengths to achieve his goal , and Fisk is also being set up across multiple properties , includingEcho , before get down a full-grown star role .
