For the time being, all that's really been revealed is that Fisk doesn't know DD's real identity. Nothing's been mentioned about his powers. Also, it's entirely likely that even Stark's most standard armors have some sort advanced identity concealment and stealth tech. As for Elektra being able to get by Matt's senses, it was mentioned at the tail end of Bendis' run. Matt was wondering how Fisk was somehow able to get past his senses and Elektra explained that it was because of her and when she worked for him and attributed this to Stick's lessons of learning as much about your enemy as possible. Apparently that also applied to Matt.

I don't think he was the perfect Kingpin but I do think he was very good in Daredevil bar certain issues. I believe he did contribute to making the Daredevil series extremely good. Unfortunately, his appearance in Hawkeye (I quite liked the show) was a bit of a farce.
I can understand how he wasn't to everyone's liking (lord knows I found the previous run by Soule almost entirely forgettable), but what I see most people complaining about is that fight with Kate, which (TBF) was won almost entirely out of luck and really isn't all that different of a fight you would see in the comics. I mean, remember when Wolverine admitted defeat to Squirrel Girl in New Avengers? Or when The Punisher passed out from a punch to the groin thrown by a ten-year-old girl in Runaways? People complain about comic book accuracy all the time, yet also complain when it happens.

Count me in as someone who doesn't love D'Onofrio's Kingpin either. It sounds like he is growling through every line and doesn't give much range otherwise. It lacks a lot of range... Ayelet Zurer is the highlight of the Fisk family in season 1 for me. Elodie Yung is a big highlight too for me in season 2. She lacks in Defenders though. I'd happily welcome them in the MCU though.
Yeah, even before there were talks of a show I always thought he would make a great Kingpin. So it absolutely blew my mind that they actually cast him and he legit lived up to every expectation I had. Even better, he gave us more than just a shallow, one-dimensional gangster/supervillain which would've been the obvious/easy/lazy approach. Instead, he gave us a nuanced and multi-diminsional Wilson Fisk and the character was all the better for it.
