In the aftermath of Daredevil ’s recent win in the Supreme Court — where he successfully argue that masked vigilante should be able to prove without revealing their hole-and-corner identities — all of New York City ’s supervillains have set their sights on the man without fear .
With the new law in position , felon like Wilson Fisk have apace get the picture what a precarious position they ’re in , now that the vigilantes who most often catch them in the deed of consecrate offence can really work with the police to put them behind bars . Rather than waiting for the inevitable moment where he would have been taken down , Fisk devise a plan to act on the public ’s anxieties pertain to the activities of superheroes and villains . In promise to illegalize vigilantism , Fisk made it that much easier to gain the fealty of the metropolis ’s other crimelords who ’ve since been enjoying a Modern form of freedom .
But while Daredevil might not be in the best position to take on Fisk and his associates , Matt Murdock ( who ’s most recently been working in the District Attorney ’s office ) still is — something that Fisk is also keenly aware of .
In an exertion to keep his enemy confining and under his control , Fisk appoints Matt to be his new deputy sheriff mayor , something that makes Fisk ’s precipitation in this week ’s Daredevil # 600 , written by Charles Soule with artistry from Ron Garney and Matt Milla , such an odd turn of effect .
With the Inhuman serial grampus ( and artist ) Muse wreaking mayhem across the metropolis , Daredevil and a turn of other classic Defenders come out of the carpentry to protect their neighborhood and hopefully have a chance to put Fisk away for connivance in the process . When all of Fisk ’s criminal associate — like Black Cat and Hammerhead — convene at a designated merging point , New York ’s heroes stand by ready to catch their mayor red - handed . When Fisk does n’t show — something very out of character for him — the heroes realize that they ’ve been set up and that the corrupt political leader is hiding somewhere where he could alarm the law to their ( also illegal ) congregation .
It ’s Daredevil who ’s finally able to expose away from the altercation to track down Fisk . The two combat and Fisk actually manage to skillful Daredevil , leaving him unconscious for the police to arrest him . As Fisk ’s celebrating his political and physical victory over his opponent , though , he ’s suddenly stuck with a volley of arrow fired off from a drove of Hand ninjas who condescend upon him at a political exchange .
As it turns out , the torpedo Blindspot ( one of the few survivors from Muse ’s killing fling ) has been equal to of tapping into the mystical energies of the Beast , the demonic being that turn over the Hand its ability to resurrect the idle . During a rematch with Muse , Blindstop appeal the Beast ’s baron , again setting off a complicated series of events that climax in the effort on Fisk ’s liveliness . Every prison term Muse taps into the Beast , its influence in the physical domain becomes more pronounce , as does its desire to interfere with Daredevil ’s life .
With Fisk ’s life sentence in mortal danger , he ’s ineffective to act as the city ’s mayor , meaning that under normal circumstances the public advocate would become his temporary replacement . But , Fisk being the tainted politico that he is , not only made it possible for himself to serve a third terminus , he also alter the bylaws to make it so that the deputy mayor is to act in his stead .
So , Matt has n’t just been captured by the cops with his mysterious identity in danger of being reveal , he ’s also got a brand - spankin ’ Modern problem and a whole sight more responsibilities than he has the bandwidth to cover flop now .
