[Marvel] Fisk and Stark are both very wealthy people, have they ever crossed paths in the business side of things?

r/

Has fisk ever tried to buy stark tower? Does he respect Tony for some reason? Or have they just simply never interacted? That I find hard to believe though.

    I believe in the context of being wealthy, Fisk is super wealthy while Tony is ungodly wealthy

    Kingpin isn’t muscling in on any of Tony’s ventures through money. He does however have more connections in NYC than Tony does. So in the scope of NYC, Kingpin’s influence can be on par or even greater than Tony

    as far as Spider-Man villains go in directly confronting Tony though, that’s more Norman Osborne’s territory, post resurrection

    that being said, in the wide scope of comics, they have interacted. At least once Tony said Kingpin’s presences was on the scale of talking to Thanos

    and Kingpin is someone who can resist Purple Man, so that tracks

    Yes, actually! Fisk and Stark co-own Damage Control, a construction company, together.

    Generally, Stark knows it would be hard to legally prosecute Fisk and Fisk knows that if he pushes too hard Stark could nuke him from space. So they cautiously and uneasily work together when it comes up and otherwise stay out of each others’ way.

    During one of Tony’s most recent bouts of not owning his company or having any money, The Kingpin secretly financed him. This allowed Tony to build a couple new suits and work towards rescuing The Kingpin’s mutant wife.
