Blaming himself for Matts disability, Jack stopped being an enforcer, returned to boxing, and was killed after refusing to turn in a fixed fight for the mobster who had employed him earlier. After his fathers death, Matt promised to stop all crime that controlled Hells Kitchen, New York as the vigilante crimefighter Daredevil.In the present day, Matt meets Elektra Natchios, daughter of Nikolas Natchios, a businessman who has dealings with Wilson Fisk, a rich executive who is also the criminal leader known as the Kingpin.

Matt tries to stop Bullseye, but Bullseye ultimately succeeds in killing Nikolas and framing Matt in the process. Elektra vows to exact revenge, while reporter Ben Urich discovers his secret identity. Believing Matt to have done good things for Hells Kitchen, Urich tells Matt that Bullseye is going after Elektra next. ........
