I wouldn't count Kingpin as a 1%er villain.

He's just organised crime. He is a gangster who made himself respectable. He probably runs a number of legitimate businesses and the few times we see the inner workings of them they all look above board*.

It's just crime is his main business.

To me a 1%er villain is a corrupt CEO who runs an evil business and screws over the public and or his employees.

Isn't Fisk now the mayor of NYC and doing crime that screws over the public

They're currently chilling with the kids outside of reality. They're coming back soon supposedly. I guess everyone thinks they're dead? Comics since Secret Wars have been kind of vague about telling if everyone thinks they're still alive and/or where everyone thinks they are. I guess in any case they've been gone long enough to declare them legally dead.

Hawkeye is definitely rich, but I don't think Hawkeye is. I guess he owns a tenement in New York, but his liquidity is almost nothing.

Kingpin, Lex Luthor once DC started writing him as a Kingpin ripoff.

I'm curious about one thing: the corrupt CEO version of Luthor showed up in 1987, around the same time Trump started to become prominent in the public eye; have Byrne or Wolfman ever said whether Luthor had any basis in Trump?

Well, that's just the show, right? I don't recall comics Ray Palmer being anything but a college professor. (Of course, show Ray was meant to be a stand-in for Ted Kord.)
My knowledge of comics Ray Palmer is almost zilch so I didn't realize they invented Palmer Industries whole cloth for the TV show

Wasn't Professor X a multi-billionaire at one point? I remember that being mentioned when I was reading about New X-Men before I started reading it; after he revealed to the world that he was a mutant he personally financed the creation of the X Corporation (is that still a thing?).

Probably, so none of the Hawkeyes are rich, although Alan Alda is probably pretty comfortable.

Even if you play at being poor, if you could get your inheritance back by crawling back to daddy and begging, you're still rich.

As long as they aren't tricking someone into thinking they're having sex with the other personality and Hulk form deals with STDs, then no.
