Marvel Officially Confirms Another Daredevil Is Coming to Matt Murdock’s Rescue

Published

on

New York is known as the city that never sleeps, but in the world of Marvel Comics, that’s somehow even more true, with everything from cackling goblins with pumpkin bombs to criminal Kingpins on the loose. For Matt Murdock, it’s a lot to handle, even if he’s not the only hero operating in the five boroughs. Coming off issue #5 of Stephanie PhillipsDaredevil Vol. 9, he’s managed to stop the serial killer Omen who targeted his best friend, Foggy Nelson, and is now focusing back in on his work as an adjunct law professor. As much as he needs a break to focus on non-vigilante life, he’s not afforded that luxury with the city’s criminal factions ready for all-out war.

Issue #6, released today, begins a new storyline for the Man Without Fear called “Of Moles and Owls,” which will see just about all the biggest street-level Marvel villains come out of the woodwork to take over New York, or destroy each other and the city while trying. That includes Owlman, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Silvermane, the Tracksuit Mafia, and more, all of whom are looking for whatever edge they can get on each other. Daredevil is caught in the crossfire and threatens to break under the weight of so much criminal activity. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, he’s about to get a bit of much-needed backup from someone who knows him all too well.

Queens, New York

🕷️ Spider-Man

You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.

Advertisement
  • You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
  • You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
  • Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
  • Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.


Hell’s Kitchen, New York

😈 Daredevil

You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.

Advertisement
  • You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
  • You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
  • Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
  • Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.


Stark Industries, Malibu

🤖 Iron Man

Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.

Advertisement
  • You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
  • You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
  • Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
  • You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.


New York City

💀 The Punisher

You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.

Advertisement
  • You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
  • You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
  • Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
  • Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.


Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms

⚡ Thor

Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.

Advertisement
  • You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
  • You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
  • Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
  • You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.


Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers

🛡️ Captain America

You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.

Advertisement
  • You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
  • Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
  • Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
  • In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.

Elektra Is Back to Bail Her Fellow Daredevil Out of a Jam

Towards the end of the issue, after confronting Owlman for his little hostage stunt to attract the Devil’s attention, Matt learns from the criminal about an exchange going on that night with the police and a mole close to the Kingpin. The mole has agreed to give up a book that Wilson Fisk has used to record endless details about the criminal underworld, the future of his empire, and even the identities of masked vigilantes like Murdock. Before he can act on the information from Owlman to prevent an all-out war in the streets, or even decide whether to trust him, Matt gets caught up in a battle against an upgraded Silvermane and a swarm of cops and lackeys under Hammerhead’s employ. As he’s being swallowed up by a crowd of crooks ready to beat him to a pulp, it’s revealed that his fellow Daredevil, Elektra Natchios, has been listening in on panicked radio chatter after hijacking a police vehicle.

Elektra has thus far been absent from Phillips’ Daredevil run, last putting differences aside to fight alongside Matt against Fisk at the end of Volume 8. On the one hand, her return gives the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen some much-needed help with another capable vigilante on the prowl. He’s also not in any position to refuse her given his current predicament. However, their tumultuous relationship means his old friend and foe may just as easily upend his life as save it. Given the devilish smile on her face, it’s clear that she’s eager to see Matt again and intrigued by all the forces at play in New York. She also arrives at a fitting time, given Daredevil: Born Again will soon bring the character back to television in Season 3 as played by Élodie Yung.

Daredevil Vol. 9 #6 is now available for purchase. See how it ends in the gallery above and stay tuned here at Collider for more Marvel Comics coverage every week.
