Kingpin

The kingpin is the main pivots in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. Originally this was literally a steel pin on which the moveable, steerable wheel was mounted to the suspension. In more modern designs, it may not physically exist as an actual pin, but the axis around which the steered wheels pivot is still referred to as the kingpin.


The Kingpin is a supervillain in the Marvel Universe who is an enemy of Spider-Man and Daredevil. Wilson Fisk is a criminal mastermind who is involved in extensive illegal activities such as drug running, smuggling, murder, etc. Despite this, he has no criminal record and an army of lawyers to keep it that way. In addition to being a brilliant strategist, Fisk is a superb fighter who has held his own against Spiderman, but nowadays Daredevil occupies most of his attention.
