Interesting Facts on the Kingpin:
The Kingpin is ranked 10th on IGNs top villains of all time.
He began as a Spiderman Villain but evolved into being the arch nemesis of Daredevil.
As a Spiderman villain he used a variety of hi tech gadets and gizmos like a cane that fired a laser beam. When he became more of a Daredevil villain he dropped the trinkets and became more a street, hand to hand, style criminal.
One of Fisk's weapons his is obese looking appearance that causes others to underestimate his speed and vitality. Most of his girth is actually muscle.
Fisk once beat Spiderman in hand to hand combat. Spiderman was saved by the intervention of Fisk's wife. This is partially due to Spiderman's tendency not to go full on against non superpowered foes. When Spiderman was given reason to go full out on Kingpin, he quickly took him down.

Kingpin has no actual superpowers but he is abnormally large, strong and fast. He is also a very skilled hand to hand fighter and has been shown mowing down a dojo of armed black belt fighters in seconds.
He is also a strategic mastermind, and skilled street criminal.
Marvel Cinematic Universe:
The Kingpin was a character in the Daredevil movie and played by Micheal Clark Duncan.
In the Marvel Netflix Series Daredevil he will be played by Vincent D'Onofrio.
Marvel
released a mugshot of its new Kingpin, Vincent D'Onofrio. Who I assume
will be appearing in its new Defender's Saga Series. The Kingpin could
really appear in any of the heroes stories and maybe he will appear in
all of them.It actually may make sense for him to be the guy in the
shadows that is behind all of the bad stuff the heroes encounter and
then they find themselves joining forces to go against him.
The Kingpin is one of the Mysterious Seagate Files. These files seem to be giving out information on the villains of upcoming Marvel projects like the Defenders, Iron Man, and Ant Man but I am not certain who made them.
Do the Seagate Files reveal the secrets of the Kingpin?
Interestingly he is a method actor and I will be curious if this role effects him in a negative way. He has said he still has nightmares based off of his research for his role in the Cell.
I don't see D'Onofrio having anywhere near that physical size, however as a very good actor I think he can portray a very ruthless crimelord / mastermind.
What do you think of this D'Onofrio as the Kingpin?
