How would Fisk do if he arrived in Gotham and tried taking over the underworld?
He’d be facing Batman’s rogue gallery but Fisk would have all his resources and assassins like bullseye, Typhoid Mary, etc

The rogues are begging for Batman's help very quickly. Bullseye and Typhoid Mary is above most of the rogues capability.
Kingpin does have to be a bit careful however. He has to get Typhoid Mary to take care of Poison Ivy plus make certain that Typhoid Mary doesn't get captured by Joker (Giving Joker access to a multiple personality disorder person seems like a bad, bad idea).
Otherwise, Riddler? Dead. Bane? Dead. Killer Croc? Dead (Poor Killer Croc.)? Penguin? Dead. Mr. Freeze? Dead (by Frozen Oak table)?
The David Cain/Lady Shiva versus Bullseye/Typhoid Mary clash would be fun to watch. But Kingpin and company, in general, is way too much for the Batman rogues.
Sharp could give you more information, as the resident expert. But in general, a Crime Lord who tangles with DareDevil/Spiderman >>> Rogues who messes with Batman.
Kingpin and Penguin immediately dislike each other upon first sight.
I feel like Fisk might actually have a soft spot for some versions of Mr. Freeze, considering his own family issues. He might even try and lowkey support him by tossing some gigs his way as an excuse to funnel some funds towards Nora's treatment... assuming that he doesn't just have some scientists whip up some promising treatments (or buy off the scientists that are, or just have their work stolen) and have Freeze become his henchmen in exchange for treating her.
fisk takes over within a week, if he plays it careful like we all know he will.
All of the above.
Fisk will also pay the mercenary types of Gotham enough to get them on HIS side.
And unlike the crazies, he doesn’t randomly backstab his people.

I think the only ones who’d give Kingpin trouble are Joker, Poison ivy, and Catwoman
I see Mary burning Ivys plants though
If Joker screws up he’s dead but a serious Joker has been depicted to take on the JL, if Joker plotted things out I think he’d win
I read this as Kingpin arrives in Gundam at first lol
This is the thing that sets Kingpin apart from the Gotham ‘criminals’. You do good work for him, you do well. And you don’t need to worry about him having an episode of madness or outright sadism or whathaveyou, and killing you horribly.

honestly this is probably what happens to most of the Gotham rogue gallery provided they aren't completely insane or rivals to him, and he'd probably rather quickly have a monopoly on all the non insane henchmen given he's a far better boss than the average crazy bat rogue. I think we can assume villains like Two Face, Cobblepot, Black Mask, etc would be direct adversaries/rivals and would either have to toe the line or get put down in short order. I doubt he'll be too friendly with the other more insane wildcards either like Joker, Scarecrow, or Ivy.
Joker is the wild card. I agree with the earlier post. Doing something like capturing Typhoid Mary is going to make things extremely difficult for Kingpin. Joker made the Batman's Life hell. If Fisk sees the Joker Threat, he'll be able to gather his resources, planning, and use extreme measure to take Joker off the board for good.
Overall, my money is on Kingpin. I say this because I remember the story where Gotham got hit with an Earthquake. Luthor moved in to build properties. Joker begins killing Luthor's Employees. Luthor hired Bane to remove the Joker Pest...and it worked

Unless Joker is being serious, then who knows what he’d do, remember he basically took out a good part of Gotham with his venom in Endgame, then recently and in other times he’s broken into Arkham no matter how secure they try making it, could he get into Kingpins fortress?
He also took out an entire police station, maybe Gotham’s gangs will refuse to fight him out of pure fear.
