bio_text=Abandoned by his mother, Matt Murdock was raised by his father, boxer "Battling Jack" Murdock, in Hell's Kitchen. Realizing that rules were needed to prevent people from behaving badly, young Matt decided to study law; however, when he saved a man from an oncoming truck, it spilled a radioactive cargo that rendered Matt blind while enhancing his remaining senses. Under the harsh tutelage of blind martial arts master Stick, Matt mastered his heightened senses and became a formidable fighter. He also attended Columbia University Law School alongside his best friend, [[Nelson, Foggy|Franklin "Foggy" Nelson]]; but before Matt earned his Juris Doctorate degree, his father was murdered by agents of the [[Fixer (Roscoe Sweeny)|Fixer]] (Roscoe Sweeny) for refusing to throw a fight. Enraged when the legal system failed to bring the Fixer to justice, Matt donned a costume made from his father's boxing robe and went into action as "Daredevil," savagely beating his father's killers and frightening the Fixer himself to death. | bio_text=Abandoned by his mother, Matt Murdock was raised by his father, boxer "Battling Jack" Murdock, in Hell's Kitchen.

Although Daredevil and the [[Punisher (Frank Castle)|Punisher]] both fight crime, they often clash over the Punisher's lethal tactics. During an early encounter, Daredevil shot the Punisher to prevent him from killing drug-dealer Peter "Hogman" Grunter. Since then, Daredevil has worked with the Punisher when necessary, but has also attempted to bring him to justice. Daredevil formed the "[[Marvel Knights]]" to apprehend the Punisher, who escaped police custody thereafter. Later, Daredevil teamed with [[Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Spider-Man]] and [[Wolverine (James Howlett)|Wolverine]] in a failed attempt to take down the Punisher, who told Daredevil that the only way to stop him was to kill him. | Although Daredevil and the [[Punisher (Frank Castle)|Punisher]] both fight crime, they often clash over the Punisher's lethal tactics.

Recently, Daredevil's secret identity was exposed by a tabloid and he definitively defeated the Kingpin in public, declaring himself New York's new kingpin. To avoid disbarment, Murdock has been forced to publicly and legally deny his dual identity, though the public remains unconvinced. He was incarcerated by the FBI which had been publicly embarrassed by Murdock and placed in a population comprised of many of his enemies in the hope that Murdock would be killed while in prison. Murdock, aided by the Punisher, escaped shortly thereafter.
