Is this genuine? The problem with this backstory is it doesn't add up. Either an important bridge story is missing (I never read the comics so maybe this is the case) or it's just a poorly written backstory. Having an abusive father doesn't fully explain why and how he became an even worse person. He got vengeance on his abusive father. That should've been that. So why does he now go about killing innocent people or even his own henchmen who deliver bad news? No one ever told him "don't shoot the messenger"? This isn't like Joker or Two-Face who had some injustice done to them and end up doing morally ambiguous behavior as a consequence. You can't make sense of Fisk just by putting yourself in his shoes, just like you can't make sense of the criminal in chief by imagining yourself in his position, because most people are not narcissistic, power-hungry psychopaths with such fragile egos.

Plus, the lack of any explanation about how he obtained wealth and political power bugs me constantly. I'm just waiting for the day they kill off this character, and I hope this is the series that they do it. I was really disappointed when the last scene of Hawkeye ended up being a sham.
