We previously saw "Daredevil" pushing Deborah aside, and because of this, Foggy is furious and more determined than ever to become District Attorney and teach the masked hero a lesson.

No, this does not constitute an abuse of power; Franklin Nelson simply wants to show the masked vigilantes that they cannot do whatever they please, of course.

Here, the reader discovers a little more about a facet of Foggy's personality through what Matt says: "Foggy gets loud when he loses his temper."

Gradually, over the course of these 39 issues, the reader learns that Foggy, while the antithesis of the heroic archetype, is simply a man trying to keep it together; quick-witted and sharp, yet deeply human and flawed, and he is prone to losing his composure when faced with situations beyond his control. This allows the reader to grow closer to Foggy and relate to him, not merely as another bumbling, comic sidekick who is there solely to prop up the hero, but as a complex, fully realized character. In this same vein, it’s perfectly normal for some fans not to like Foggy for the same reason. But that’s a topic for another post.

In this issue, Matt also acts as a moral compass, helping Foggy reflect and regain his composure. It only takes a few words from Matt to calm him down and restore his senses.

Matt, then, advises him not to date Debbie in secret, since getting found out would only make things worse, but rather to date her in the open because people love second chances and will love Foggy for it.(We already do, Matt, don't worry).

As the night unfolds and the trio—out on a double date—mingles, Matt and Karen dance and grow closer. (I love this moment.)

Suddenly, The Unholy Three attacks the event, firing a weapon at Debbie and causing her to vanish.

Foggy, who just moments earlier wanted nothing to do with Mike Murdock, the not-so-real Daredevil, now wants him to step in and take action against Debbie’s killer.

Matt, however, senses that the woman in question is not dead.

And you still want me to believe that they didn't think of all the possibilities of how NOT to have Foggy on this show? You want me to believe that they "care a lot", like they're his friends?

In issue 34, Foggy stars in a clumsy but effective action sequence - worthy of Foggy. He obviously wants Mike the clown away from him and Karen. But the moment he sees Matt's brother in trouble, moved by gratitude, he literally rushes to do something.

It couldn't end with Foggy busting up the floor and Mike, I mean, Matt, I mean, Daredevil saves him.
