* WellIntentionedExtremist: Fisk believes him being in control of crime in Hell Kitchen will ultimately help with it's recovery.

* DeadpanSnarker: dryly jokes at two henchmen that were beaten by Daredevil that he might understand them losing if it was one of Film/TheAvengers, instead of some guy in black pajamas.

->'''Portrayed By''':

This page lists characters that make their first appearance in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Creator/{{Netflix}} original Series ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}''.

* BigBad: the Kingpin, a crime lord behind most of the illegal operations Matt targets.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: He fears that he is at risk of becoming one, as far as his crime-fighting career goes.

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His first outfit is all black. However, it's an {{Homage}} to a costume from Creator/FrankMiller's ''Man Without Fear'' run, and the classic red costume appears by the end of the first series.

* DeadpanSnarker: dryly jokes at two henchmen that were beaten by Daredevil that he might understand them losing if it was one of the Avengers, instead of some guy in black pajamas.

A lawyer from Hell's Kitchen who saved the life of a blind man as a child. The man was about to be met with exposure to a dangerous chemical, but Murdock stepped in to shield him - which ironically ended up blinding ''him''. While the chemicals took away his sight, his other senses were enhanced greatly, and he was able to become a LivingLieDetector in addition to gaining an echolocation ability. He became an extremely versatile gymnast and martial artist as well, and he decided to take the law into his own hands when the traditional justice system failed.

->''"Maybe if he had an iron suit or a magic hammer, that would explain why you keep getting your asses handed to you."''

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His first outfit is made up of black cloth. However, it's an {{Homage}} to a costume from Creator/FrankMiller's ''Man Without Fear'' run, and the classic red costume appears by the end of the first series.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: As mentioned, his superpowers don't necessarily help him in combat so much as they help him maintain heightened awareness. Everything else is the result of pushing an otherwise-normal human body to the limit.

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: His first outfit is made up of black cloth. However, it should be noted that this is a {{Homage}} to a costume that the character wore during Creator/FrankMiller's run rather than getting rid of the color in the process of adaptation; the red costume is said to make an appearance eventually.
