Daredevil’s Life as a Priest is Changing the World, One Person at a Time
hothead is one of my favorite Marvel heroes , and I ’ve loved watching the journeying he ’s been on in the last few years . From publically exposing his identity , to carry on his abbreviated partner Blindspot , and the epic Chip Zdarsky / Marco Checchetto run that ended last year , there ’s been a lot of crazy things going on in the Man Without Fear ’s street corner of the Marvel Universe . Speaking of that tally , that story ended with an interesting development that’sbecome a major part of the currentDaredevilseries .
Matt Murdock went to Hell to deliver his well friend and several souls that had been take by the Hand . Daredevil liberated the condemned souls but was trapped behind in the underground . However , through the grace of God , Matt was fetch back to Earth and given a new animation as a non-Christian priest ( which , lease ’s look it , fits him to a ‘ T ’ ) . Matt ab initio did n’t remember much of his old life-time , but it was n’t farsighted until his metropolis called to him andthe man of God summarize his life as Daredevil .
Daredevil ’s latest chapter begin withDaredevil # 1 ( 2023 ) !
Too bad Matt did n’t realize something followed him out of Hell . debased slice of his soul , each sit off of the Seven Deadly Sins got unaffixed and attached themselves to people in Matt ’s area . Elektra , She - Hulk , Ben Urich , and Wolverine were all possessed by Sloth , Gluttony , Envy , and Lust , respectively . Kingpin , fittingly enough was possess by the defective sin so far , Greed . This supernatural influence drove Fisk to reclaim his old territory by any means . Kingpin was helpless to operate himself andcould only hope Daredevil could save him .
Does Kingpin Actually Want Salvation From Daredevil?
I want to say no . in earnest . This isKingpinwe’re mouth about . The guy has no depth he ’ll slump to . Extortion , threats , and murder are just putz for him to get what he need . Very rarely does he ever show empathy to another living person and even if he does , it ’s not long before we see him remind us of how much a hardhearted monster he is . When I first got to this page , I was sure that there was no room in hell Kingpin actually wanted Daredevil to help oneself him find the twinkle .
This was n’t the Purple Man or any other mind - controlling baddie in ascendance of Fisk ’s consistency , this was a demonic force .
But allow ’s cogitate about this for a second . Kingpin was literally just under the influence of an honest - to - God , supernatural evil . This was n’t the Purple Man or any other mind - see to it scoundrel in control of Fisk ’s consistency , this was a demonic force play . Aside from the horror that come with the lack of self - autonomy , the possession showed Fisk a draw of things , include the fact that Hell was very tangible . For a brief moment , Daredevil ’s greatest foe was this tight to being nothing more than a vessel of the underworld .
Kingpin ’s meet a lot of strange things in his day , but being the hose for the shape of actual sin ? That ’d be enough to scare anyone flat , even someone as season as Wilson Fisk . gratefully , his greatest foeman is a priest who can help Fisk in his moment of spiritual crisis . This is a pretty huge development for these two , especially give their vehement history . But now that Kingpin ’s seen the true face of wickedness , possibly Daredevil can in reality help oneself his nemesis notice the redemption he needs .
This is Daredevil’s Greatest Shot at Helping Kingpin
Of naturally , even those who find out the righteous way of life can always sheer off it and it would n’t storm me in the least if this turn to God lift up being impermanent for Fisk . But peradventure his reaching out to Daredevil is genuine . peradventure Fisk does need Daredevil ’s care . As a priest , it ’s up to Matt to be there for those in need , even if it ’s someone like Kingpin . I do n’t know if Fisk ’s search for redemption will last , but I ’m moderately excited to see what this intend forDaredeviland Kingpin going forward .
