Here Are 12 Unknown Facts About The Daredevil You Never Knew :
Daredevil Fell In Love With Black Widow
Daredevil has dated a number of women over the years, but the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, is the last person fans would anticipate to be dating the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Their affair began after they briefly moved to San Francisco and joined together to fight crime as vigilantes.
This matchup, however, was brief. What’s odd about this pairing is that many Marvel fans may not have realized Black Widow was involved with Matthew Murdock. It’s not surprising that this happened given their characteristics.
Daredevil’s Friends With Spider-Man
Daredevil and Spider-Man aren’t heroes most casual fans associate with each other, but the two are close friends who frequently collaborate. These native New Yorkers originally met in 1964 and have remained friends ever since.
Daredevil and Spider-Man have even admitted to each other’s identities. Since becoming friends, the two have worked together to keep their hometown secure.
Canary Yellow Was Daredevil’s Original Costume
Daredevil fans are aware that Matt Murdock alternated between a black ninja-style costume and a red custom-made costume in the show, but in the books, his suit was neither. It was instead a bright yellow color.
Despite the popularity of the popular red color among show viewers, the yellow-colored costume had a double connotation. While many fans are aware that Matt wore a yellow suit, many are unaware that it was colored yellow to pay respect to his father’s yellow boxing robe.
He Has Worked With Batman
Daredevil and Batman have met multiple times in Marvel/DC crossover events. Daredevil/Batman: Eye for an Eye, by D. G. Chichester, Scott McDaniel, Derek Fisher, Gregory Wright, and Bill Oakley, was the first time the two met.
In this one-shot, Gotham and New York shared a universe, and Daredevil and Batman fought before joining forces. They appeared short again in Karl Kesel’s Unlimited Access, written by Pat Olliffe, Al Williamson, Gregory Wright, and Jim Novak. Their most recent encounter was in Alan Grant’s Batman/Daredevil: King of New York, with art by Eduardo Barreto, where they fought side by side.
Daredevil Got His Vision Back
Daredevil’s disability is an important element of his character, yet he has regained his sight on several occasions. Moondragon once sought Daredevil’s assistance and used her powers to restore his sight.
Unfortunately, this took away Matt Murdock’s radar sense, which he relied on when fighting. Matt asked Moondragon to remove his eyesight again because he couldn’t fight as well without it. The Beyonder and the Uni-Power both attempted to restore Matt’s sight at separate points, but it never worked.
Stan Lee’s Favorite Comic Book Run
Surprisingly, one of Stan Lee’s favorite comic books was a Daredevil comic, namely Daredevil #47. The story revolves around Daredevil’s visit to troops in Vietnam. During his journey, he met Willie Lincoln, a soldier who had been blinded in war.
When Matt learned that Willie had been wrongfully sacked and discharged from the military, he went out of his way to clear his name and obtain him a position with the NYPD. With a narrative as touching as this one, it’s no surprise that it was Stan’s favorite.
Daredevil Pretends To Be His Fake Twin Brother
Daredevil is widely regarded as one of the best Marvel comic-book characters, but constructing a phony alter-ego to cosplay as Daredevil in order to disguise his identity was the height of his inventiveness. Matt assumed the alias Michael Murdock to conceal the fact that he was not Daredevil, but rather his fictitious twin brother.
Surprisingly, most people are unaware that Matt created this pseudonym, let alone staged the death of a false brother in order to create another alias.
Daredevil Was Married
Matt Murdock had been married, but not to any of his most famous loves. He married Milla Donovan, a lesser-known flame. Matt rescued Milla from a car accident and discovered that neither of them could see. They started dating and eventually married. Their marriage, like many of Marvel’s, did not endure. Matt was unable to move on after the death of his previous lover, so he cheated on Milla.
Milla was attacked on several occasions by various villains, and Mr. Terror used his toxins on her, causing her to mistrust her surroundings and experience tremendous fear. Shortly after, Milla attempted to shove a woman she disliked and killed an innocent bystander. These events, predictably, led to the end of Milla and Matt’s relationship.
Daredevil Is Responsible For The Avengers
Daredevil’s persona was not directly responsible for The Avengers, but his comic book writer, Bill Everett, was.
The Daredevil Co-Creator was sacked for failing to provide the Man Without Fear solo run, owing to the fact that he took 6 months to complete the project. What’s more astonishing is that, despite his dismissal, he used the opportunity to develop fresh comic book concepts, one of which was the formation of the Avengers.
Daredevil Has An Evil Double
In Marvel Comics, there are numerous clones and doppelgangers. The Magus produced an army of the heroes’ evil doppelgangers during the Infinity War event, which was written by Jim Starlin and penciled by Ron Lim, Ian Laughlin, Al Milgrom, Jack Morelli, and Christie Scheele.
Daredevil’s counterpart was Hellspawn, a massive crimson devil. Hellspawn has claws, fangs, a sharp tail, and a billy club, in addition to Matt’s handicap and increased senses. Matt had to work with Elektra to bring him down. Hellspawn, who had mutated into a human Daredevil copy, was eventually murdered by the couple.
Daredevil Has Senses That Are Better Than Spider-Man
Spider-senses Man’s are more intuitively activated, whereas Matt can sense everything all day, every day. Not to add that Spider-senses Man’s are normally restricted to a single region, to the point where his adversary is attacking, but Matt can “see” 150 yards in 360 degrees without concentrating.
That being said, in a confrontation between the street-level heroes, Spider-Man and Daredevil, there is no doubt that Daredevil would win due to his quickness and 360-degree awareness.
Daredevil Caused Elektra’s Father’s Death
Matt Murdock’s first foray into superheroics was his assistance in the kidnapping of Elektras and her father Hugo. The newly minted Daredevil saved Elektra, but his inexperience had deadly consequences.
Daredevil threw one of their kidnappers through a window. Hugo was killed in the crossfire when a surprised cop outside discharged his revolver. This blunder and the resulting tragedy taught Matt a terrible lesson about how things may go horribly wrong, even for the most well-intentioned superhero.
