No. 5: Wilson Fisk
Credit: Daredevil on Netflix
Fisk’s role throughout season 1 was evident - he was the bad guy, or in video game terms, he was the “final boss”. He had full control on pretty much every level in Hell’s Kitchen, until the final episode. In that episode, everything came crashing down around Fisk and he was defeated by Matt Murdock the lawyer, and then soon after, physically by Daredevil.
While in prison, Fisk was able to develop the same amount of power and control that he had on the outside, just scaled down to within the prison walls. He had a good amount of guards in his pocket, as well as Frank Castle (or so he thought). Fisk’s manipulation and betrayal of Castle in prison led to one of the most badass scenes in the entire series, but I digress.
Fisk being able to extend his control beyond the prison walls and coerce Bullseye to hunt down the man that put him away would be an extremely entertaining role for Fisk in season 3. It has some continuity from season 2, but also elaborates on it to create new plots for Daredevil as well as possibly Matt Murdock.
Is there anything that you would like to see that wasn't mentioned?
