IN last week’s Daredevil #28, Matt Murdock comes back from a jaunt in China to find that one of his worst nightmares had come true: his arch enemy, crime lord Wilson Fisk, had been elected mayor of New York City!

Fisk is not the first comic book character to hold the office of mayor, of course. It’s not a very long list, though. In fact, the list of superheroes/villains who actually became the President of the United States is much longer, with Thor, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Superman, and even Lex Luthor on it. Heck, even Howard the Duck ran for president once. (Gee, they’ll really just let anyone into the White House these days, eh?)
