In the Director's Cut, a policeman was to commit perjury on the stand. He left when he realized his bosses were more concerned with their careers than with their clients and returned to New York where he opened the "Storefront Legal Clinic" that provided legal services to poor people with Foggy Nelson, who had lost his re-election as district attorney to Blake Tower. He stopped a plot by the Jester who used fake television transmissions to plunge New York into chaos [79] and teamed up with the Ghost Rider to rescue Karen Page who had been kidnapped by a new Death's Head.

Matt was reunited with Elektra under the worst circumstances. After college, Elektra had become an assassin. She had trained with an evil ninja cult called the Hand. Although she left the Hand, she had become cold and violent. Elektra was killed by Bullseye , the world's deadliest assassin.

Fortunately, ninja magic and Murdock's love brought her back to life and "cleansed her spirit". She moved to a remote mountain retreat to live with the Chaste , the Hand's heroic counterpart.

After Elektra's death, Matt proposed to Heather. He then went to work proving Glenn Industries' board of directors were involved in illegal dealings. He found enough proof to ruin the company, and leave Heather with no choice but to marry him. Foggy saw that what Matt was doing was wrong. With the Black Widow's help, he broke up Matt and Heather. Years later, a drunken Heather called Matt for help. When he learned she was lying, he angrily left and ignored her. Days later, she hung herself.

Karen pursued an acting career in L. She sold out Daredevil's secret identity; information that eventually reached the Kingpin , Wilson Fisk. It was Fisk who systematically destroyed every piece of Matt Murdock's life; who was indirectly responsible for the deaths of Elektra and Jack Murdock; who knew Murdock's secret identity as Daredevil but never told anyone, just to play power games with the hero. Matt took Karen back and they built a life together. Mary was a sweet but frightened woman who had been a successful actress.

Typhoid was a trashy, cruel killer with telekinetic and pyrokinetic powers. The Kingpin hired her to make Matt Murdock fall in love with her, and then drive him crazy. Typhoid Mary succeeded in getting Matt to cheat on Karen Page and nearly had him beaten to death. She later moved in with Foggy Nelson. Years later, Glorianna was killed by Victor "Kruel" Krueller , a madman trying to remember his past by beating witnesses to his attempted murder. Matt's secret identity was threatened by a New York tabloid.

Though he protected himself, he still faked his death. Matt now lived as a street hustler named Jack Batlin. He kept fighting crime as Daredevil, this time with an armored costume and a meaner attitude. This led to an identity crisis which he eventually overcame while also clearing up rumors of his identity. Mysterio was one of Spider-Man's most persistent enemies. But when he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, he conceived an elaborate "final performance".

Although he initially planned to target Spider-Man, when he read reports about the new wall-crawler , he dismissed Spider-Man as a target, seeing no point in driving a 'clone' insane. Recalling a prior confrontation with Daredevil, he decided to turn his attention to Murdock after paying the Kingpin for information, seeing in Daredevil a kindred spirit as both were 'second stringers' with little reputation outside their homes.

With Fisk's information, Mysterio devised an elaborate plot to pretend that the Second Coming was taking place, leaving Daredevil in the custody of an infant who had been reportedly identified as both the new Christ and the Antichrist, Daredevil also being tricked into coming in contact with an associate-suggestive toxin that would make him violent if anyone suggested that the child was innocent, the toxin being both odorless and tasteless so Daredevil could not tell he was drugged.

Despite having been pushed to the breaking point, the toxin was removed from his system with help from Doctor Strange.

Strange then confirmed that the tales of the child as the second coming were a trick. Although Matt was unable to save the child from being abducted by Bullseye, with his old foe also killing Karen in the process, he was able to track down his nemesis and learn of Mysterio's role in these events. Although Mysterio taunted Matt with the possibility of killing him, Murdock overcame Mysterio's traps and illusions. With nothing left to live for, Beck committed suicide. Maya Lopez was born deaf.

She also had the gift to recreate any physical motion she sees. The Kingpin used her in another plot to destroy Matt Murdock. First, he arranged Matt to meet her, knowing Matt was lonely after the recent death of Karen Page. Then he tricked Maya into thinking Daredevil killed her father. Maya created the identity of Echo and fought Daredevil. She didn't know he was Matt and he didn't know why she now hated him.

Matt soon explained himself and Maya attacked the Kingpin. She left him blinded for many months. Murdock was outed by the press as Daredevil.

He publicly denied this and sued the paper. The latest woman in Matt's life was Milla Donovan. Like Matt, Donovan was blind.

Matt saved her life and a year later they were married. Milla eventually learned their marriage may have been part of Matt's mental breakdown. She filed for an annulment. Murdock continued to fight crime, ultimately defeating Wilson Fisk and claiming the title of "Kingpin of Hell's Kitchen", preventing any crime from being committed in the area, although Matt's own mental state was rapidly going downhill after the death of his true love, his lies to the public, and assuming the alias of his greatest enemy.

During this time frame, Matt was briefly invited to join the New Avengers when he aided them in the latest attempted break-out from the Raft , but refused the offer because he didn't want to affect their reputations in the public eye, [95] although he did suggest Maya as a replacement member. Matt was eventually captured by the FBI and sent to prison for his actions.

Foggy Nelson was believed to have been killed and a Daredevil impostor was sighted. Matt learned that the Kingpin, Bullseye, and the Punisher were also serving time. An attempt at a breakout was made by Black Tarantula. Matt was able to stop Fisk and Bullseye and saved the warden.

He and Punisher then escaped. The impostor was confronted, revealing himself as Iron Fist and that he had been hired to do so. The two and Ben Urich searched for information. Daredevil has been a major part of Marvel Comics lore for nearly sixty years, with a number of critical stories and events that would be ideal for adapting into the MCU in some form. As one of the best allies and friends of Spider-Man, he's also integral to understanding the deep comic history of both characters. Fans of the Netflix Daredevil series are likely familiar with the origin of the character, but the TV show did make some differences.

Key among them is the active agent, which gave young Matt Murdock his powers in Daredevil 1, was a radioactive chemical. At the time, radiation and atomic power were at the forefront of culture, leading to their use in nearly every Marvel Comics superhero origin story like the Hulk with gamma radiation and Spider-Man with the radioactive spider. In the Netflix series, it was simply hazardous chemicals. Daredevil, co-created by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett, first appeared in a yellow costume.

Jack Kirby also had a hand in designing the suit. Comic fans mainly know Daredevil today for his iconic all-red costume, which made its debut in issue 7 of the ongoing series. In this issue, Daredevil suggests he can change the color of his costume by touching it thanks to his powers.

The red suit was designed by legendary comics artist Wally Wood and would become his signature look for the majority of his history in comic books.
