10 Comics Secrets We Still Can't Explain
4. Who Is Daredevil In Earth X
The Marvel Multiverse offers up interesting alternate Earths and versions of Marvel's popular characters, but few have been as interesting as those from Earth X.
The storyline featured a world population that gained superpowers after Terrigen Mists were released into the atmosphere. The result was a dystopia filled with superpowered people.
In most alternate Earths, characters are mostly the same in that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, Tony Stark is Iron Man and so-on. While that's true of most situations, the Daredevil of Earth X isn't Matt Murdock, as he's dead in the Earth X timeline, but someone took up the mantle after his demise.
Earth X's Daredevil looks somewhat similar to his Earth-616 counterpart, only he wears a cape, has exaggerated horns, and his chest features a large pentagram. Also, he's immortal or appears to be. Because of this, Ben Grimm is certain Deadpool is the man behind the mask, but his belief was never confirmed.
Ultimately, Earth X and its sequels, Universe X, Paradise X, and a prequel series titled Marvels X, never confirmed who was behind the mask. He wasn't a crimefighter like Murdock's Daredevil, and instead worked as a circus stuntman who used his healing powers to perform stunts, so he could be Deadpool, but he could also be anyone, seeing as everyone has superpowers on Earth X.
