alright mike-enjoyers, this can't be an accident, right? like. this has gotta be on purpose, right?
after mike murdock becomes a real person, the first place we see him is 'the bar with no name.' in ish 7 of vol 8, matt encounters wolverine possessed by the demon lust in 'the bar with no name.'
after having a rather transformative fight where lust is exorcised from wolverine and matt's white suit is stained red, we are given the above line from logan about matt 'denying' who he is.
so far, each demon has represented a sin that matt has committed by continuing to deny who he really is (daredevil). mike murdock's character was invented by matt to express parts of himself that he denies. mike murdock was also originally daredevil (according to the lies that matt told).
with this particular demon, lust, it is referencing not only matt's lust for a fight, but his lust for life and how he defines it. that includes taking risks, doing morally gray things, living on the edge etc. matt expressing those parts of himself was the original intent of mike's character/persona.
not only that, I feel like the bright shirt matt is wearing could be a nod to mike as well. but logan (standing in the bar where mike was introduced as a real person) and talking about how matt needs to make 'peace' rather than 'denying' himself feels like a pretty clear nod to me.
