* AmbiguousSituation: The brail necklace that Matt found. When did she find the time to leave it for Matt? It couldn't have been before finding out his identity, as it's in a location he wouldn't normally go to. Admittedly, we don't know when Stick paid her a visit, or how long since her fight with Bullseye it had been before Matt found it, so she could have very well left it for him.

* {{Foil}}: Meta-wise, to Peter Parker from the then recent [[Film/SpiderMan Spider-Man film]]. They're both red-clad superheroes who gained superpowers via science and struggle to make ends meet. Peter was a student who got his powers very recently whereas Matt is an adult lawyer who gained them as a child. Peter's situation being that he couldn't hold a job due to his duties as Spider-Man until he photographed himself for the Daily Bugle, whereas Matt refuses to represent wealthy clients if they are clearly lying about their innocence. Peter also ended the film deciding not to pursue Mary Jane for he safety while sequels put an end to that, whereas Matt's relationship with Elektra [[spoiler:is interrupted by Bullseye gutting her, and he never finds out she came back to life]].
