| 13 | The father of Matt Murdock who boxed for a living. Often broke, he worked nights as a leg-breaker for the local crime boss "The Fixer". Despite his profession, he encouraged Matt towards a life of pacifism, and pushed Matt heavily in his studies. He was told by his boss to take a fall in a boxing match but, knowing Matt would be there, refused. For his insubordination, he was murdered. |
| 14 | ---- |
| 15 | * BoxingBattler: His job. He was a middleweight. |
| 16 | * DeathByOriginStory: Dies in ''Daredevil'' #1. His death is what inspires Matt to become a crimefighter. |
| 17 | * HonorBeforeReason: Won't throw a fight, even if it means [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness his death.]] |
| 18 | * ICouldaBeenAContender: Is aware that his window of opportunity is closing fast, if it hasn't closed already. It's because of his son's moral support that convinces him to really take boxing seriously again. |
| 19 | * SoProudOfYou: Pushes Matt in his schoolwork so that he'll be successful and have all the things he could never provide for him. When Matt announces he made it into Harvard, he's overjoyed. |
| 20 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Inverted. He refused to throw his final match so Matt could be happy that his father got a victory for once. |
| 21 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: Subverted, as Matt is fully aware of he and his dad's financial situation, and understands that his father must work late. |

| 36 | * CoolOldLady: Her main characteristic. Is also a self-admitted crusader/protester. |
| 37 | * MissingMom: Left Jack and Matt when he was just a boy. Matt never asked why. For a long time it was believed that Jack abused her. [[OnceMoreWithClarity Later]], however, it was shown in the ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'' tie-in that the situation was quite more complicated: Maggie suffered postpartum depression and tried to attack both her husband and son in a fit of irrational rage.

| 49 | Matt's twin brother who used to be an alias that was made real by [[ComicBook/TheInhumans The Reader]] and then canonized himself using the Nornstone. |
| 50 | ---- |
| 51 | * AlliterativeName: Just like his brother. |
| 52 | * CosmicRetcon: He owes his existence as a separate person to one as "Mike" was originally just an identity that Matt made up as part of a FakeTwinGambit. Said events also caused Mike to still be alive as Matt faked "Mike's" death to end the gambit. |
| 53 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: Matt is pleasantly surprised when he goes to Hell and finds his brother absent, meaning that despite everything he did in life, Mike ultimately allowed into Heaven.]] |
| 54 | * {{Defictionalization}}: In-universe. Originally a fictional twin Matt came up with to preserve his identity, Mike would later become a real being thanks to the Inhuman Reader. |
| 55 | * FakeTwinGambit: How he originally started as Matt created "Mike" after Foggy and Karen got to close to figuring out he was Daredevil and wanted to throw them off. |
| 56 | * FakingTheDead: How Matt opted to end the Mike persona, by claiming he'd died fighting the Exterminator and Unholy Three, but he'd trained a new Daredevil before then. |
| 57 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Following the CosmicRetcon, this was his and Matt's relationship. Matt was a hard-worker who eventually became a lawyer and a hero, Mike was a smooth-talking conman who constantly frustrated their father with his antics. |
| 58 | * MurderByMistake: [[spoiler:Gets killed by Wilson Fisk during ''ComicBook/DevilsReign'', who mistook him for Matt after he regained his memories of Daredevil's identity]]. |
| 59 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After using the Norn Stone to write himself into Matt’s history, he's overcome with guilt when it's revealed he's partially responsible for Matt's accident and his father's murder. |
| 60 | * PolarOppositeTwins: Even as children, Matt was a well-behaved child while Mike was a delinquent. |
| 61 | * PretendingToBeOnesOwnRelative: How Mike originally was during the FakeTwinGambit when he needed to appear in person: Matt pretending to be him. When Mike became a real person he ended up reversing this, pretending to be Matt, both when Daredevil was arrested (and Mike was lead to believe Matt was simply out of town and needed a stand in) and when he found it convenient to masquerade as a high profile lawyer for his own schemes. |

| 74 | Foggy is Matt's best friend and, for most of the series, his law partner. |
| 75 | ---- |
| 76 | * AffectionateNickname: "Foggy" is one given to him by Matt. It's got nothing to do with his perceptiveness; it's actually short for "Foghorn" and comes from his being an atrociously loud sleeper in their college days. |
| 77 | * BadassBookworm: Okay, he's not really a great physical fighter, but when it comes to standing up for Matt, nobody does it better than good old Foggy. |
| 78 | * BigEater: Foggy really likes his food. |
| 79 | * BizarreTasteInFood: As a running gag, Foggy is fond of eating bizarre and horribly smelly food combinations that make normal people gag and cause absolute havoc on Matt's enhanced senses. |
| 80 | * FakingTheDead: In the All-New Marvel NOW! run, had to do this as to not be targeted by Matt's enemies after he outed himself, since he is Matt's closest friend and the most vulnerable, as well as undergoing cancer treatment - in his weak condition, it would make him easy prey for any villain to find him at the hospital he'd be going to and take him out to get to Matt. |
| 81 | * FatBestFriend: He is Matt's best friend, and he is Type B (ShrinkingViolet). |
| 82 | * FatAndProud: Not extremely fat, but definitely a bit chubby. A running gag in Waid's run is Matt putting Foggy on a diet and exercise regimen, and Foggy's attempts to get out of it. He does it in part because Foggy is an ''extremely'' loud chewer and it disrupts Matt's senses. He finally does lose weight during Waid's run due to cancer, however. |
| 83 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Is shown to be ''very'' supportive of Matt, even though they have their ups and downs. |
| 84 | * HopelessSuitor: In the early days, he had a crush on Karen, but she only had eyes for Matt. |
| 85 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]NiceGuy: Foggy was portrayed as a deeply conflicted character, continuously caught between his strong vocational disagreements with Matt, their rivalry for the affections of Karen Page, and his loyalty to his friend. |
| 86 | * ParentalAbandonment: It is later revealed that Rosalind Sharpe is Nelson's biological mother: she divorced her husband and abandoned her son in order to be able to pursue her career as a lawyer. It was Sharpe's career that enticed her son to become a lawyer. |
| 87 | * SecretKeeper: He knows that Matt is Daredevil. After ''Secret Wars'', he's the ''only'' one of Matt's Secret Keepers that remembers that Matt is Daredevil. |

| 98 | Matt and Foggy's former secretary, Karen suffered from a serious drug problem following their breakup. She sold Matt's identity to Kingpin and was eventually murdered by Bullseye. |
| 99 | ---- |
| 100 | * TheAtoner: She eventually realizes that she is too dependent on Matt and that her past is a constant barrier between them. Karen leaves Matt to accept a talk show host position in Los Angeles. |
| 101 | * DamselInDistress: Karen was kidnapped quite often during Daredevil's battles, first by the Owl and again by the Purple Man. |
| 102 | * DrugsAreBad: Karen becomes addicted to heroin and starts making pornographic movies. In need of a fix, she sells Daredevil's secret identity to a drug dealer, who in turn sells it to the Kingpin. Matt helps Karen beat her addiction and later founds a free drug and legal clinic where she counsels drug addicts and Matt provides legal advice and "ghost lawyering". |
| 103 | * FirstLove: Though it was later {{retcon}}ned to be Elektra, the trope still applies. Matt [[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love with her the moment he met her]], and held a torch for her long after she left. When she [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone returns to New York after selling him out]], [[EasilyForgiven he instantly forgives her]] and picks up right where they left off. Her death causes Matt to have a HeroicBSOD, and he clearly still hasn't gotten over her, as he unconsciously compares all his subsequent girlfriends to her. |

| 120 | While in college, Rebecca "Becky" Blake was sexually assaulted in an attack that left her unable to use her legs and confined to a wheelchair. She joined Nelson and Murdock as their legal secretary, where she worked for several years before leaving to pursue her own career in law. She would return some time later under invitation as the third partner at the new "Nelson, Blake and Murdock". |

| 122 | * BadassBureaucrat |
| 123 | * DisabledMeansHelpless: Both played straight and subverted. By nature, she is a shy and reclusive woman, and requires rescue by Daredevil on a number of occasions; however, in those circumstances she was not the only one in danger, and the use of her legs wouldn't have played much of a difference anyway. As well, once, when their offices are attacked by the Ani-Men, she manages to fight off Bird-Man long enough for Black Widow to arrive and subdue him. |
| 124 | * PutOnABus: Twice. First, after appearing for almost the entirety of {{Creator/Frank Miller}}'s run, she's not seen for almost fifteen years until a brief cameo in the late 90's. She then disappears again until the mid-Aughts when she becomes a partner at "Nelson, Blake and Murdock", becoming a core cast member again. And again after {{Comicbook/Shadowland}}. |
| 125 | * RapeAsBackstory: While attending college, she was viciously assaulted by Michael Reese, a large man with a penchant for sadism towards women. The attack left her crippled and traumatized; she was left without the use of her legs, permanently bond to a wheelchair, and suffering severe PTSD. |
| 126 | * RapeAsDrama: Her assault, which cost her the use of her legs, is treated very seriously. When she first joins Nelson and Murdock, she is still clearly traumatized by it, [[StepfordSmiler though she tries to hide it]]. |

| 189 | Izo was a member of the organization known as the Hand, over hundreds of years ago. He chose to leave the group when the leader died and it devolved into a ninja cult criminal organization, prone to serving a demon. Around that time he cut out his eyes. He later formed the Hand's rival group, the Chase, where he trained Daredevil's own master, Stick. He was voted out of the group for his unprofessional behavior. |

| 192 | * BareHandedBladeBlock: Stops a sword bare handed during a fight. |
| 193 | * TheChessmaster: During the end of Brubaker's run, it is revealed that he orchestrated several plans [[spoiler:to put Matt Murdock in charge of the Hand. It is strongly implied he was working with Lady Bullseye all along to cause the Kingpin's return (and thus kickstart the chain of events that'd lead to Matt being forced to assume the control of the Hand). He also planted several moles within the Hand]]. |
| 194 | * DeadpanSnarker: He's as caustically sarcastic as the day is long. |
| 195 | * DefectorFromDecadence: He defected from the Hand once he saw they became corrupt and cruel. A similar process happened with The Chase, which he left after realizing they were going through a HeWhoFightsMonsters phase regarding the Hand. |
| 196 | * DrunkenBoxing: His style of martial arts is very similar, with his often incorporating blades. |
| 197 | * DrunkenMaster: Is almost always drunk, but it doesn't slow him down in a fight. |
| 198 | * EccentricMentor: Deconstructed along with MrViceGuy badly. He’s a wise old martial artist master but his irreverent gambling, whoring, and drinking habits became so intolerable Stick and the rest of Izo’s students voted to kick him out of his own group. Instead of being endearing, he comes off as thrill seeking old jerk who just happens to want to fight the bad guys. |
| 199 | * {{Expy}}: He appears to essentially be a replacement for Stick in his initial appearances (the trickster old man with deep knowledge of the Hand), though DivergentCharacterEvolution kicks in and he quickly becomes a much more different character. |
| 200 | * {{Foil}}: To Stick. While Stick was an ardent KnightTemplar with a very Spartan and ascetic worldview, Master Izo is noticeable for his much more [[GreyAndGrayMorality nuanced hedonistic worldview]] and his fondness for booze and the pleasures of the flesh. |

He noticeably [[http://www.writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Master-Izo-Daredevil-Marvel-Comics-h2.jpg resembles]] [[http://cineplex.media.baselineresearch.com/images/143022/143022_full.jpg Takeshi Kitano's portrayal]] of the character (notice the same cane and haircut). |

| 226 | * CynicalMentor: Stick may have trained Matt to be a skilled fighter, but he was a very harsh teacher, often being verbally abusive towards Matt and had a sink or swim attitude towards Matt's training. |
| 227 | * HandicappedBadass: Stick may be blind, but he is one of the most skilled martial artists in the Marvel Universe. |

| 231 | * KiManipulation: His primary power. |
| 232 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Stick posits as to whether or not the chemicals that blinded Daredevil really gave him his powers, or merely opened his mind to abilities he already possessed. Due to Stick having some magical abilities of his own, along with his radar sense, it's left ambiguous. |
| 233 | * MentorArchetype: Was the man who taught Matt Murdock to be a skilled warrior. |

| 344 | Urich is a chain-smoking, tough-as-nails investigative journalist for the New York newspaper The Daily Bugle. Urich deduced the secret identity of Daredevil and has used him as a source of information and vice versa. To a lesser extent, he has a similar relationship with Spider-Man, whose alter ego Peter Parker was a photographer for the Bugle who occasionally accompanied Urich on assignments. Urich has used these connections to expose supervillains posing as businessmen including Kingpin and Green Goblin. |

| 351 | * IntrepidReporter: His first story involved him deducing Daredevil's secret identity. The scoop on Kingpin nearly cost him the life. He (with Sally Floyd) has also covered some of major Marvel's events like ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' and ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk''. |

| 485 | -->-- '''Maya Lopez''', ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' vol. 2 #51 |
| 486 | |
| 487 | Maya was a Native American girl who was born deaf. Her father, Willie "Crazy Horse" Lincoln, was secretly a mob enforcer for [[ComicBook/TheKingpin Wilson Fisk]], the Kingpin of Crime, but was killed under Fisk's orders. Impressed and intrigued by Maya's skills and photographic reflexes, the Kingpin adopted her and sent her to the best schools, gaining her trust. Finally, he "revealed" to her that Daredevil killed her father and sent her to kill him in return. |
| 488 | |
| 489 | Despite the Kingpin's lies, Maya learned the truth and shot the Kingpin, leaving him blind for a while. She left New York to visit her father's tribe and have a vision quest. This motivated her to return to New York and start performing theater through using sign language, dance, and music. |
| 490 | |
| 491 | Maya was next seen in the pages of ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'', where she showed up as the masked ninja Ronin. (The writer of the book, Creator/BrianMichaelBendis, originally had planned for Daredevil to be Ronin, but changed his mind.) She fought alongside the New Avengers against the Hand, before being killed by the Hand's new leader, Elektra. (This Elektra turned out to be a Skrull imposter, however.) Elektra and the Hand then resurrected her and tried to brainwash her to be evil, but were thwarted by the New Avengers and ''another'' Ronin (who ended up being [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Clint Barton]]). Echo remained with the New Avengers at their headquarters in ComicBook/DoctorStrange's Sanctum Santorum and fought with them against the [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008 secret Skrull invasion]]. |
| 492 | |
| 493 | She next appeared in ''ComicBook/MoonKnight'' vol 6, also written by Bendis, where she began helping Marc Spector, the Moon Knight, with his fight against the so-called "Kingpin of LA," which turned out to be Count Nefaria. Unfortunately, during a fight, Nefaria killed her with his optic blasts. |
| 494 | |
| 495 | [[UnexplainedRecovery She next showed up]] a few years later in ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Annual'' vol 4 #1, where she helped Daredevil stop Klaw, a supervillain made of sound, from taking over New York City. |
| 496 | |
| 497 | In ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' she took part in the "Enter the Phoenix" TournamentArc. Maya was one of a number of individuals summoned to the White Hot Room by the Phoenix to determine its next host. While empowered by the Phoenix, she fought a similarly-empowered [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor the Sub-Mariner]], who left her at the bottom of the ocean. However, that did not stop her and she rose from the sea, pulling the rest of the Phoenix into her and becoming the next host of the Phoenix Force. Her story continued in the solo comic ''ComicBook/PhoenixSongEcho''. |
| 498 | |
| 499 | Maya made her Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse entrance in the Creator/DisneyPlus show ''Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}'', where she is played by Creator/AlaquaCox, a Native American actress who is deaf and an amputee. She eventually received her own SpinOff show, ''Series/{{Echo|2024}}'', with Cox reprising her role. |
| 500 | ---- |
| 501 | * ActionGirl: Thanks to her ability, she became a strong martial artist. She has gained Bullseye's uncanny aim and Daredevil's acrobatic abilities after watching tapes of their fights. |
| 502 | * AffirmativeActionLegacy: A deaf, Native American woman becomes the new host to the Phoenix, whose most famous (or infamous) previous host was a [[ComicBook/JeanGrey white woman]]. |
| 503 | * AntiVillain: Briefly. She was pitted against Daredevil by the Kingpin, but had no idea that she was working for a criminal (or at least, how bad a criminal he was) and mistakenly believed that Daredevil killed her father. A solid [[SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains Type 4.]] |
| 504 | * BoxingBattler: In ''Vision Quest'' she states she was "a natural" at boxing when starting to learn martial arts, implying innate talent independent of her mimic ability. The same comic also implies she won an Olympic gold medal in the sport.[[note]]This would be ArtisticLicense if so, as the comic was published over a decade before women's boxing debuted at the Olympics.[[/note]] |
| 505 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After being a member of the ''New Avengers'' for five issues following ''Civil War'', she disappears without a word after ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion2008''. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Spider-Man asking if anyone knew where she'd gone; and again with her reappearance when Luke Cage and Jessica Jones were looking for a Nanny, as she angrily asks if Cage even remembers that she used to be on the team. |
| 506 | * ClarkKenting: While operating on her own in Japan, she pretended to be a ditzy socialite to gain access to her targets. Then, as Ronin, she comes back and unleashes Hell on them. |
| 507 | * CListFodder: Just narrowly avoided being replaced by Skrull infiltrators, Hawkeye noting she'd be an easy person to replace because she's so low down the totem pole, barely anyone knows her, and therefore wouldn't notice if her replacement slipped up. |
| 508 | * DatingCatwoman: Like Typhoid Mary, she dates Matt Murdock while trying to kill Daredevil. Unlike her, she only does so because she was tricked. |
| 509 | * DeathIsCheap: In ''New Avengers'', Elektra ([[spoiler:or more accurately a Skrull impersonating Elektra]]) runs her through with a sword, so the Hand can resurrect her as a brainwashed minion. |
| 510 | * DeceptiveLegacy: The Kingpin murdered her father, but honored the dying man's wish that he take care of her and raise her as his own. [[ManipulativeBastard Then he told her that Daredevil killed her father.]] |
| 511 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: Echo was killed by Count Nefaria in the ''ComicBook/MoonKnight'' series. However, a few years later, she [[UnexplainedRecovery showed up alive and well]] again. |
| 512 | * FacialMarkings: A white handprint, in the same place her father placed his hand on her while he was dying. |
| 513 | * FightClubbing: When she was still associated with Kingpin, she competed in underground boxing matches. |
| 514 | * FightsLikeANormal: Played with. Echo's martial arts skill is almost entirely due to her mimic ability, but she's also limited by her own strength, agility, durability, etc., which are only those of a peak human and not a superhuman. |
| 515 | * {{Foil}}: Daredevil's a blind man with super acute hearing, smell, touch, and taste. She's a deaf woman with super acute eyesight and a photographic memory. |
| 516 | * HandicappedBadass: While Matt Murdock is blind, Echo is deaf. A deaf who posses "photographic reflexes" that allow her to mimic the feats of those around her. |
| 517 | * MagicalNativeAmerican: Subverted with her father, who was Native American, but also a mob enforcer. Maya herself straddles the line, often subverting it by being a well-rounded and nuanced character...but one who also went on a "vision quest" and met an "animal spirit" in order to find out what to do next in life. |
| 518 | * OneManArmy: As Ronin, she carves through the Japanese criminal underworld... until the Hand come after her. |
| 519 | * PayEvilUntoEvil / LaserGuidedKarma: Once she finds out what ''really'' happened to her father, she responds by putting a bullet between Kingpin's eyes. He survives, but was blinded, just like Matt, except without the super-senses. |
| 520 | * PhotographicMemory: Maya possess "photographic reflexes" or the uncanny ability to perfectly copy other people's movements, similar to that of the ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}}. Just by watching other people, she has become a concert-level pianist, a strong martial artist, a highly skilled acrobat, and a gifted ballerina (and on one occasion even piloted a Quinjet for a few minutes). |
| 521 | * PutOnABus: She was written out from ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'' and eventually joined the cast of ''ComicBook/MoonKnight''. And then died. [[DeathIsCheap She came back a few years later, alive and well]]. |
| 522 | * RealAwardFictionalCharacter: She's won at least three gold medals from the Special Olympics and the Olympics, though it's not entirely clear what the events were. |
| 523 | * SpannerInTheWorks: The Skrull infiltration of Earth would've gone off a lot easier had she not shaken off the Hand brainwashing and ran their Elektra impersonator through. At the very least, the Avengers wouldn't have known about it until it was too late. |
| 524 | * TwoferTokenMinority: Deaf, part-Hispanic, part-Native American. |
| 525 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Despite apparently being killed by Count Nefaria during the ''Moon Knight'' series in 2012, she would reappear to help Matt in 2016, without explaining how or why she survived or came back (although the intervening [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 universal restoration]] may account for this). |
| 526 | * YouKilledMyFather: Believed this to be Daredevil, but later learnt it was actually the Kingpin. |

| 574 | * AllTakeAndNoGive: Both her and Matt have played both roles at different time. When they first started dating, Matt tried to be the perfect boyfriend, looking past Heather's [[FetishizedAbuser rudeness towards him and his friends]], and tolerated her constant partying. Later, when Heather [[BrokenBird lost her father]], despite very clearly being in an emotionally vulnerable state, Matt [[DomesticAbuser strong armed her into living with him]] and [[ForYourOwnGood cutting her off form her former socialite friends.]] Even Foggy and Glorianna called him out on it. |
| 575 | * BrokenBird: Heather was the flighty fun loving former girlfriend of Matt. Subsequently, Matt uncovered a criminal conspiracy involving her father, who was under the control of the Purple Man.

| 576 | * DestructiveRomance: After losing her father and his company in quick succession, she grows overly reliant on Matt for emotional support, an attitude [[AllTakeAndNoGive which he unconsciously encourages.]] When the two of them separate, she [[DrivenToSuicide doesn't take it well.]] |
| 577 | * DrivenToSuicide: In the end, she committed suicide. |
| 578 | * ReallyGetsAround: Dated Tony Stark, and cheated on Matt several times. |
| 579 | * UptownGirl |
