Matthew M. Murdock ♦ Defense Attorney, Private Practice ♦ Hell's Kitchen, NYC, NY
O R I G I N S:
Blinded in an accident as a child, Matt Murdock developed superhuman senses that allowed him to function with keen skills and reflexes. But when his father was murdered by a low-level gangster for refusing to throw a boxing match, Murdock's gifts were tempered by rage and a need to fight injustice. Studying law per his late father's wishes, Matt passed the bar and joined his best friend Franklin "Foggy" Nelson in opening a defense firm for the downtrodden in Hell's Kitchen, New York. Unable to quell his need to fight criminals, Matt also began operating as a masked vigilante by night - gradually shaping himself from an anonymous warrior into a figure to be feared by the underworld. Adopting the guise of the devil himself, Murdock became the Daredevil.
As Daredevil, Murdock's amassed a wealth of enemies over the ten years he's been in operation, from the bloodthirsty Owl and disturbed Purple Man to the deadly assassin Bullseye. But one figure stands high above the rest as a foe for Murdock to contend with: Wilson Fisk, The Kingpin of New York. Throughout their storied rivalry, Murdock and Fisk have been locked in a moral chess battle as Daredevil tirelessly works to dismantle The Kingpin's seemingly insurmountable empire. Fisk has in turn frequently targeted Murdock's loved ones and tried to destroy his life from every level systematically. Murdock has risen above every attempt much stronger, ready to fight another day, but the two have reached a stalemate that sees no certain end.
For now, they're forced to co-exist. Fisk knows Daredevil's true identity, while Murdock is slowly gathering evidence against Kingpin, unable to make a definitive move without jeopardizing everyone in his life. It's a cycle that has been simmering for years and is likely to reach it's boiling point soon - which one makes the first move is simply up to them.
