The New Warriors Vol 1 #1 “From the Ground Up!”

who knows matt is daredevil (post-purple children) - and when they find out (got most of these from the wiki) foggy nelson - daredevil (2015) #1

luke cage - defenders (2017) #8

danny rand/iron fist - defenders (2017) #8

jessica jones - defenders (2017) #8

benjamin hochberg - daredevil (2019) #21

elektra - daredevil (2019) #24

wilson fisk/kingpin - devil's reign #4

peter parker/spider-man - daredevil (2022) #1

robert goldman - daredevil (2022) #1 (assuming a retcon, for plot reasons) apparently has known since they were in college together. but confirmed in this issue.

stick - daredevil (2022) #9 an undead puppet of the hand at the time. but since the hand says they use the mind/thoughts and body of the person they resurrect, i assume whoever gets zombied like this does remember what happened while they were undead, even if they are not in control of their actions.

sam chung/blindspot - daredevil (2022) #12 revealed here. seems to have known before the issue though, based on the way he addresses matt.

cole north? - daredevil (2023) #9? he is present for the explanation matt gives to foggy about coming back from the dead. unless matt skipped a LOT of the story, and didnt explain HOW and WHY he died, cole probably finds out during this conversation.

jason - daredevil (2023) #10 confirmed here. finds the suit in #9

who knows matt's "death" was actually mike foggy nelson - devil's reign: omega [A] revealed here. actually learned between devil's reign #6 and this. always knew mike was posing as matt.

luke cage - devil's reign: omega [A]

danny rand/iron fist - devil's reign: omega [A]

jessica jones? - assuming luke told her immediately lol

elektra - devil's reign #6 always knew mike was posing as matt. learned mike's death in this issue.

peter parker/spider-man - daredevil (2022) #1

butch pharris - devil's reign #6 undone later? matt impersonates mike in (2022) #1 and seems to convince butch that actually matt is dead, mike is alive, and mike is daredevil.

who knows matt is alive after going to hell foggy - daredevil (2023) #9

danny? - undead iron fist #2? danny was alive when matt died, so he presumably knows he at least went missing, if not that he died or went to hell. danny dies in 2024, and daredevil (2023) ends in 2025. undead iron fist is released immediately after, and danny encounters daredevil. so presumably he knows matt is around.

elektra - daredevil (2023) #1 revealed here. learned sometime before the issue. has been spying on father matt for some time.

wilson fisk - daredevil (2023) #10 its unclear if he remembers anything greed made him say/know while he was possessed. but he makes references to matt's personal life, so presumably he knows at least while possessed. when they meet after fisk comes back, he does not address matt by name, which he has done in the past to taunt him. so. idk.

cole north - daredevil (2023) #9

jennifer walters/she-hulk - daredevil (2023) #5 its unclear if she remembers anything that happened while she was possessed by gluttony.

Regarding Butch knowing Mike is dead: While Matt briefly convinced him in DD (2022) #1 that Mike hadn't actually been killed, he gave away the deception later in that same scene, so I think he still knows.

I feel like yes, we can say with confidence that Danny definitely knows Matt's alive thanks to Undead Iron Fist #2.

Jennifer does remember what happened while she was possessed (confirmed in DD (2023) #16):

...Which is a very useful piece of information.

We can also add the following to the list of people who currently know Matt and/or Daredevil is back from the dead:

Ben Urich, as of Daredevil (2023) #4. He also seems to know that Matt is Daredevil again, which is big news (he makes a comment to Matt as Daredevil about him not being legally allowed to drive.)

Wolverine, as of Daredevil (2023) #7.

Bullseye, as of Daredevil (2023) #4--though he's dead at the moment, so it isn't all that relevant.

Finally got this out of my system. 

Between this part, and the part where Frank being not strong enough to see Matt smiling on chapter 13 of For Forever writen by @beguilewritesstuff it’s suffice to say my heart could only survive so much. I am merely mortal who could only muster enough strength to make this fanart inspired by my current favorite fic of these two without having to melt into a puddle of feelings.

Also… I know, I know, Frank only dropped down on one knee, and his pose here is lower than the real dropping-down-on-one-knee pose, but I was too distracted by the moment Frank did this:

“You want to know what happened to my hand? You want to know where I’ve been?” He puts the kid’s hand up to his scalp and swears to Christ he will break the kid’s wrist for doing more than feeling.

🎃TRICK OR TREAT！👻

Finally I made it☺️✨

The small comic I promised 2 months ago!

This was inspired by the little story in which Batman helped a little boy find his dog. It was named LOST AND FOUND by Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín.

Small things make a difference, and small kindness plants hope.

Okay, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover here! None of these were quite enough to justify their own post, so behind the cut, Matt says hello to Frank, and goodbye to Heather and Stick (in different ways). Plus, Natasha’s back!

(Um. Possible trigger warning for emotional abuse? And it’s Matt who’s the abuser. It’s pretty awful.)

The plotline that intros the Punisher (already an established Marvel character by now, though he hadn’t had a solo series yet) revolves around drug addiction and a convoluted trial, but all you need to know is that Matt and Frank are on the trail of the same murderous drug-pusher:

Normally I tend to read Frank as having a big ol’ crush on Matt and Matt being like “Ugh whatEVER just stop killing people and go to jail already,” but Matt’s appraisal in that first panel is, well. Extremely appreciative, shall we say?

Frank goes even further:

The hilarity of Frank’s eager fanboying is second only to Matt thinking putting regular clothing on top of his OBVIOUS DAREDEVIL COSTUME is a sufficient disguise. And when one superhero throwing a trash can at another superhero (well, antihero) is only the third funniest thing on the page, that’s pretty impressive.

Anyway no, Frank, Matt doesn’t want to go to prom with you:

Fantastic Four #33 - “Royal Wedding” (2021)

    We’ve been meaning to write a post about this, so thank you! The short answer is: far more times than any reasonable person should. We’re including in this list times when people thought he was dead and he decided not to correct them, because that’s just as bad.

    Here we go…

   Thank you for asking! We should warn you that this may get a bit long. The reason we picked this particular character for our icon image was that we shamelessly love him and the period of Daredevil history from which he originates, and we are always eager to tell people about it. That said, here is the short answer:

   This is Mike Murdock. He is Matt’s fake twin brother. That is to say: he’s Matt in a goofy outfit.

   For the long answer, and the tale of Matt’s hippest and most convoluted alter ego, follow us beyond the link:

Something a little bit different today, folks!

Like the entire rest of the world, I saw Black Panther and loved it. I’m not too well read on BP history (working on it, and loving the Ta-Nehisi Coates/Brian Stelfreeze series), but the movie did remind me that - somewhat surprisingly given how separate their respective spheres are - Matt and T’Challa are actually buddies from way back in the 60s. They’re tiny ear friends! T’Challa has bailed Matt out any number of times when he’s needed it, and Matt has…presumably also contributed to the friendship? I guess?

I thought about doing a DD101 about the history of Matt’s friendship with T’Challa, but I didn’t want to make Black Panther’s success into a story about a white guy. And then I remembered Black Panther: The Man Without Fear and Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive.

Basically, in 2010, both Matt and T’Challa were in pretty bad places. Matt had recently recovered from being possessed by a demon and ruling a dystopian Hell’s Kitchen with an iron fist. (I can’t wait to talk about the nonsense that is Shadowland, you guys, you don’t even know.) T’Challa had destroyed Wakanda’s supply of vibranium because of Reasons and temporarily abdicated both the throne and the mantle of the Black Panther in favor of Shuri.

Matt decides to leave Hell’s Kitchen to Find Himself, and asks T’Challa to keep an eye on it while he is also Finding Himself. Thus we get Black Panther: The Man Without Fear, an 11-issue series that, confusingly, picks up the numbering of the previous Daredevil series - so, the last issue of Daredevil v2 is #512, and BP:TMWF runs from #513-523. When Matt returned to NY and a new Daredevil book started (Daredevil v3, the beginning of the Waid run), the title was then changed to Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive, which ran from #523.1. (what the fuck, comics) to #529. All issues were written by David Liss and drawn by a few different artists, most notably Francesco Francavilla.

Anyway! We’ll be talking about both Man Without Fear and Most Dangerous Man Alive over the next few posts, so strap in!

CONTENT WARNING: Child abuse.

It’s good to know that T’Challa’s mission has been blessed by Matt’s Ghost Butt.

We open with T’Challa (in a much more subdued costume) explaining what he’s doing here:

Right, so: T’Challa’s jumping around warehouses in spec ops-style gear beating up organized crime goons to find out Who He Truly Is. There may be some toxic masculinity going on here, ahem.

In a flashback, we see T’Challa and Matt coming up with this arrangement:
