El personaje de Daredevil en los cómics.
Desde su primera aparición, los fans de Marvel pudieron ver la personalidad de Matt Murdoch. Era el personaje habitual de los años 60: un hombre de una familia de clase trabajadora, motivado, muy cercano a su familia y motivado para ayudar a los necesitados. La Edad de Plata de los cómics presentó muchos personajes de buen corazón con resentimiento, y Daredevil es uno de ellos. Matt Murdoch se caracteriza por ser un hombre bueno, valiente, inteligente, reservado y con mucho bagaje en su vida, razón por la cual sus relaciones con las personas fracasan la mayor parte del tiempo.
Los superhéroes suelen llevar una doble vida, actuando de manera diferente en las calles y en su “vida normal”. Matt Murdoch necesita mantener sus “personalidades triples”: Daredevil, el civil y el abogado Matt Murdoch. La triple personalidad es algo que debe hacer para evitar que los enemigos amenacen a sus seres queridos, y la personalidad de Daredevil es misteriosa, motivada, cruel e intrépida.
Las calles no perdonan y Daredevil lo sabe. Matt Murdoch, el abogado, es inteligente y cautivador en la sala del tribunal, lo que le ayuda enormemente a representar a personas necesitadas ante la ley.
No podemos explicar la personalidad de Matt Murdoch como un solo hombre: tiene muchas capas y es complicado, y esas cargas afectan enormemente su relación con las mujeres. Murdoch es atractivo, misterioso e increíblemente encantador, algo que las mujeres encuentran irresistible, de ahí que tuviera tantas mujeres en los cómics de Marvel.
Uno de los “rompecorazones” de los cómics, Daredevil, tuvo algunas relaciones leves y tóxicas. Por el bien del artículo, mencionaremos aquellos que afectaron su historia en los cómics y mencionaremos el rostro real del «Demonio de Hell’s Kitchen».
¿Quién es el interés amoroso de Daredevil en los cómics?
Como ya mencionamos, Daredevil es un «mujeriego». Las mujeres lo encuentran atractivo y su misteriosa personalidad le ayuda mucho a conseguir tantas parejas románticas, así que no, Daredevil no tiene un interés amoroso: tiene más de una docena. Nyla Skin, Moondragon, Dakota North, Heater Glenn, Black Cat, Echo y muchos más.
Karen Page fue el primer y duradero amor de Matt Murdoch en Marvel Comics
We will start with one of the most important women in Daredevil’s existence. Karen Page was Matt Murdoch’s first love interest in Marvel Comics and the woman whom Matt Murdoch really loved. Karen Page first appeared in Marvel Comics as a secretary to Matt Murdoch’s law firm in Hell’s Kitchen and quickly became involved with Murdoch. However, after Matt reveals Daredevil’s superhero persona to Karen, she leaves him.
The character was out of the Daredevil stories for years until the great Daredevil storyline called Born Again, where Karen Page is once again Matt Murdoch’s love interest, with a twist – she actually helps Daredevil and acts as his sidekick.
Karen Page is a different woman now, and her love for Matt is much more emphasized now that she knows who Daredevil is and the fact that she now knows every part of Matt Murdoch – the lawyer, the person, and the superhero. Murdoch and Karen Page broke up again in the 1989 Daredevil comic book but returned in 1991.
Her story was turbulent in those years, and one storyline suggests Karen Page became a pornographic actress addicted to heroin who sold Daredevil’s real identity to the Kingpin. Eventually, she returns to New York, meets with Matt once again, recovers, and they get back together.
They stayed together throughout the 1990s, helped her lover beat crime in New York, and ultimately died at the hands of Bullseye. Daredevil was devastated by her death, and he even considered suicide. Still, the memories of Karen and their time together propelled Matt to continue in his efforts to protect the people in need. That act showed how much her love meant to Matt Murdoch and how much Karen Page impacted her life.
Heather Glenn was one of the first Daredevil’s love interests that revealed his identity
In the 1970s, Daredevil writers decided to Matt Murdoch another love interest – a rich socialite Heather Glenn. She helped Matt a lot, especially when he opened Legal Storefront Clinic. Heather was a daughter of a rich businessman, Maxwell Glenn, the president of Glenn industries, but he was also operating illegally under the influence of the Purple Man.
Even though he tried to protect his secret identity and ultimately protect Maxwell Glenn, a businessman, committed suicide, leading Heather to become an alcoholic. Because of her addiction, Heather and Matt parted ways and separated forever.
Glenn was also in a relationship with Tony Stark, which prompted her to drink even more. She even told Tarkington Brown about Daredevil’s secret identity, which led the men to have a conflict.
Heather Glenn eventually committed suicide – her father’s depression and death were stronger than her love for Matt Murdoch.
One of the healthiest relationships happened with the San Francisco native Kirsten McDuffie
One of the probably best relationships Daredevil ever had in Marvel Comics came from a San Francisco-born lawyer, Kirsten McDuffie. She was seemingly a perfect match, and combined with Kirsten and Matt being lawyers, this was a great start for the romantic duo.
When they were together, Kirsten was Matt’s “light of his life” since he was always considered a complicated man with a dark past, and her positive attitude suited Daredevil well.
Everything looked great for the duo until the Purple Children made everyone forget that Daredevil and Matt Murdoch are the same people. After realizing that Kirsten’s mind has also been affected, he decides to break up with her and go back to his home in Hell’s Kitchen to start his life again.
Kirsten is heartbroken but lets Matt go, and they eventually meet again – she decides to represent Murdoch in court with Foggy Nelson after the hero is arrested for murder. After Elektra changes Murdoch’s mind about pleading guilty to the murder, McDuffie and Nelson don’t give up and eventually help with Murdoch’s release from prison.
Kirsten McDuffie and Matt Murdoch were great for each other, but in the end, Daredevil’s dangerous life, his Hell’s Kitchen home, and ultimately, Matt Murdoch’s sense of duty broke them up. Probably one of the healthiest Daredevil relationships in the Marvel comics.
Foggy Nelson’s little sister dated Murdoch at some point
Another relationship came with Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdoch’s best friend. Candace Nelson was one huge secret that Foggy kept from Matt Murdoch, and when she first appeared, Murdoch was surprised.
Candace Nelson is Foggy’s sister, whose identity was concealed for years after uncovering sensitive information about the military and her school. Her whole storyline revolved around uncovering the truth about the government institution and suspicious activities that were going on there. During that timeline, she dated Matt Murdoch for a short while.
They went on a few dates, and ultimately, Candace needed to leave. The relationship was not special, but Candace, Foggy’s secret sister, was significant at that point in Matt Murdoch’s life.
In the 1970s, Black Widow and Daredevil were romantically involved
One of the most iconic female superheroes in the Marvel Universe is Natasha Romanov, also known as Black Widow. The former Russian spy got involved with Daredevil; surprisingly, they were a good match. Marvel included Black Widow in Daredevil’s storylines from 1971 to 1974. While being together, the superhero duo fought crime together.
They felt so strong for each other that Matt Murdoch rejected the advances from Karen Page and decided to stay with Natasha. They moved to San Francisco at one point in the comics and were willing to live with Matt Murdoch as a normal couple.
They did break up, but their love for each other is still present today, and they stayed great friends who always helped each other. Black Widow and Daredevil are still remembered as iconic Marvel comic couples.
The relationship with Typhoid Mary is definitely in the “toxic tier” of Matt Murdoch’s romantic relationships
One of the strangest and most toxic relationships by Daredevil happened with Typhoid Mary, a supervillain who had conflicts with Spider-Man and Deadpool as well. Besides being attractive to women, Daredevil was a ladies’ man who could “pick up” any woman he wanted.
One of them was Typhoid Mary, who had split personality disorder, and one of her “personas” was actually killing people. Technically, Daredevil was dating Mary Walker, but she was only one person among the villain’s dozens of personalities.
Strangely enough, Daredevil was responsible for her condition – one time, he tracked the villain to the brother Mary was part of. During the scuttle, he accidentally pushed her through the window. She became a Typhoid Mary and vowed no man would ever hurt her. Typhoid Mary later admitted she was the victim of child abuse, which was noticeable in how she treated her victims. Mary also set Daredevil on fire, and let’s just say he regretted that relationship immediately.
Daredevil and Black Cat were an “item” in the comics for all the wrong reasons
Felicia Hardy was always on the edge of the good and bad regarding her tenure at Marvel Comics. Since her release in 1979, Black Cat was mostly part of Spider-Man’s storyline, where she was on every side of justice. At one point, she was a love interest of Peter Parker, and of course, Matt Murdoch managed to get involved with the “canine hero.”
Matt Murdoch and Felicia Hardy met in the Spider-Island comic book storyline, where Spider-Man recruited Matt Murdoch to prove Black Cat’s innocence in one of the events.
Black Cat thinks of a plan to trick the evil team Black Spectre and, at the same time, make Spider-Man jealous. To do that, she enters a short and casual relationship with Daredevil and, ultimately, proves her point – she tricks the Black Spectre organization and makes Peter Parker jealous. Truly a mission accomplished
Kingpin’s vigilante Echo fell in love with Daredevil and stayed close friends in the comics
Recently, we met Maya Lopez, also known as Echo, in the Disney+ TV series Hawkeye. In the comics, her connection with Daredevil is truly significant – both live with the handicap that “fuels” them to protect the people in need. For Maya Lopez, that wasn’t always the case. After being sent by Kingpin to kill his archnemesis, Daredevil tells her the truth about her father, who was killed by Kingpin, who then framed Daredevil for the murder.
After Murdoch tells Maya everything, she decides to seek revenge against Wilson Fisk and, ultimately, shoots him in the head. Eventually, Matt Murdoch showed Maya the way of fighting against crime and using her skills for good – the duo fell in love with each other.
Su relación era única ya que ambos tenían discapacidades, lo que los acercaba aún más. Daredevil y Echo finalmente terminaron su relación romántica, pero permanecieron unidos hasta que ella murió y resucitó como Fénix.
Con suerte, exploraremos esa relación en la nueva serie Disney+ Echo.
Elektra y Daredevil son una pareja infame que está activa en la actualidad.
Por supuesto, no podemos terminar este artículo sin mencionar a Elektra, uno de los intereses amorosos más grandes y emblemáticos de Daredevil. Tiene un carácter violento y vive como una mercenaria que no se desvía de matar a cualquiera que se interponga en su camino. Ser el polo opuesto de Daredevil no ayudó a la pareja de muchas maneras, y su relación fue intermitente durante años. Sin embargo, el dúo siempre se acercó debido a su comprensión y a los trágicos pasados que los marcaron por el resto de sus vidas.
Además, tal vez Black Widow, ninguna mujer pudo entender la pérdida de Daredevil como Elektra pudo, y convenientemente, todavía lo hace. En la nueva tirada del cómic de Daredevil que comenzó en 2022, Daredevil y Elektra (que también es Daredevil) se casaron en los cómics. ¿Cómo? El escritor Chip Zdarsky decidió casar a la pareja por “el bien común”.
La breve explicación es la siguiente: Daredevil recientemente fingió su muerte y Elektra tomó el relevo de Murdoch. Durante ese tiempo, Punisher se hizo cargo de la famosa organización asesina Hand, y ahora dos Daredevils están tratando de reconstruir otra antigua organización llamada Fist.
Para revivir la organización que detendrá a Hand y Punisher, el dúo necesita abandonar los Estados Unidos para establecer The Fist nuevamente, y una de las formas es casarse. Por supuesto, la “ceremonia de boda” incluyó:
- Las antiguas tradiciones del Puño.
- Almas muertas de la Mano.
- Otras cosas místicas.
Este es el estado civil actual de Daredevil y, una vez más, está con su interés amoroso de larga data, Elektra. El dúo está casado, pero su relación, que parecía más “rocosa” que estable, sigue viva. Al final, son una gran pareja y siempre trabajaron bien juntos, lo cual no podemos criticar en absoluto.
