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

They're probably waiting for another certain bald corrupt businessman that conned his way into high office thanks to moronic voters to leave.

oh you're right. thx for the correction.

Corey Booker?

why even rationalize or justify capeshit antics, they are comic books bro

The State is just the Mafia disguised as a human rights organization so...

Head of SHIELD if I remember correctly

Director of HAMMER, SHIELD's replacement after it was shut down. How the US government can shut down an INTERNATIONAL organization is never explained.

How long did Dark Reign last?

But what I said was completely valid. I'm not bothered by anything except everyone suddenly acting like a cunt to Peter for no good reason

That's no longer a good excuse.

End of 2008 (after Secret Invasion) to beginning of 2010 (Siege and the Heroic Age).

>I voted for Batman!

Does this mean there is a Bruce Wayne in Earth-616? What do you think that universe's version is like?

That hasn't been a thing for two years, everyone except Matt is good with Peter.

Until Zdarsky wills it so.

Oh so they cleared that up? Cool. I haven't been reading Daredevil, what's Matt's deal?

They probably have some weird plan in the long run to make him the President in a few years.

It's not a problem in DD, funnily enough.
In DD they're friends and Matt trusts and respects Peter, but in ASM he's still salty about the Kingpin PR stunt.

Spidey complaining about Daredevil stealing feels out of character. One of those dumb meta quips that don't really make sense in-universe.
It'd make more sense for him to joke about how he liked it better when Fisk would go after more than him.

As long Trump is president, this thing of Fisk as mayor of New York started as a parody of Trump presidency.

I literally do not care. No one cares about spiderman or.marvel newyork.

SHIELD gets most of it's funding and organizational material from the United States. And since most European countries probably balk at having holding cells and research and development labs of hazardous materials on their lands, SHIELD keeps them in the USA in remote areas, like Project Pegasus and The Cube. So while officially governed by a UN charter, if the US pulls the plug SHIELD goes with it.

I feel like more supervillains should run for office. They have a lot of material to work with.

>SHIELD is spying on your browser history, Spider-Man is literring the city with unknown chemicals, Reed Richards runs multiple dark matter reactors in the middle of a major Metropolitan area and it's probably giving you cancer! Passerby are being shredded by shrapnel everytime a Stark drone explodes over head! Mutants are turning your children gay!!!
