So how long is this Wilson Fisk as mayor of New York plot gonna last? It makes the heroes look really ineffectual and incompetent that they are unable to do anything against him even though he's still blatantly committing a bunch of crimes. This has lasted even longer than Norman Osborn's stint as vague evil government office during Dark Reign.

>he's still blatantly committing a bunch of crimes
No more than your average city official. He’s trying to go clean
Fisk has always gotten the better of heroes and gotten off free. His whole thing is that he distances his crimes from himself and there's nothing that can be done about it aside from beating him up. He still goes to jail from time to time but he gets out. Right now it's low key Dark Reign 2.0.
i liked when he pitched in for his city during civil war 2
You're thinking of Secret Empire. That whole thing is the only feasible explanation for why so many New Yorkers would support him.
I actually like this as the current status quo. It gives Fisk a sort of political immunity and pull he didn't have prior when a private businessman. Furthermore, as much as this sounds like a cop out, Fisk is rather low tier concern, and arguably a necessary evil. Sure he's a HUGE pain in ass for guys like Spidey, Daredevil, The Punisher, and The Heroes for Hire, but considering NY faces cosmic and world ending threats on a regular basis he's not exactly on The Avengers radar so to speak.
My question is that why did most of the Avengers think Peter was in league with Fisk in the first place? Kingpin was giving Spider-Man inflated praise because it made him look good in the polls, and it drove The Web Head nuts. For whatever reason Matt Murdock, Luke Cage,and Johnny Storm also bought this, and started acting like dicks towards Peter. I don't know, it just seems a bit odd
Having a corrupt business man use his criminal connections to get himself elected is the most plausible thing in current marvel
>Norman Osborn's stint as vague evil government office during Dark Reign.
Wasn't he President?
Is he a better mayor than J. Jonah?
>It makes the heroes look really ineffectual and incompetent
You dumb bitch
