In 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', what is the name of the crime lord?

The story behind the answer

In “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” the crime lord is Wilson Fisk.

Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin, is the film’s principal human antagonist. In Miles Morales’s dimension, Fisk is a powerful crime lord and the benefactor of Alchemax. He finances the construction of a particle collider beneath the company’s facility, hoping to reach parallel universes.

Fisk’s motive is personal: he wants to find alternate versions of his wife Vanessa and son Richard, whose deaths he blames on Spider-Man. When the collider is activated, it pulls several Spider-People from other dimensions into Miles’s world. The machine’s instability threatens New York, while Fisk’s enforcers—including Green Goblin, Prowler, and others—protect his operation.

Viewers sometimes confuse Wilson Fisk with Norman Osborn or Otto Octavius. In this film, Norman Osborn is the Green Goblin, while Olivia Octavius is the scientist who serves as Alchemax’s head scientist and CEO. Fisk is also called Kingpin throughout the story, so both names identify the same character.
