10 Things Everyone Always Forgets About Daredevil

6. Ladies' Man Without Fear

Daredevil Prison

The ninja assassin Elektra Natchios is Matt Murdock’s first and probably best-known love, but she is far from his only romantic partner. Daredevil had a way of attracting women to him in both his personas, though, like many aspects of his life, several of these relationships ended in tragedy and sadness.

One of the most tragic of Matt’s loves was Karen Page. Karen was the perky receptionist that Foggy Nelson hired for the new law offices of Nelson & Murdock, and she quickly found herself falling for her other boss and for the red-clad hero that was frequently around. Page fell on hard times while pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles, fell into porn, and got hooked on heroin. She sold Daredevil’s identity for her next fix and that information got back to the Kingpin. She was eventually killed by Bullseye.

Matt’s girlfriend Heather Glenn hanged herself after Matt rejected her once he discovered that she'd lied to him. Murdock later married blind housing officer Milla Donovan, who was fine with his dual identity. After attacks by Mr. Fear and the revelation that Milla was judged mentally unstable, her family worked actively to get all ties from Matt cut and the wedding was terminated.

As for Daredevil's superhero relationships, they have all ended in friendship, as he dated Black Widow, Echo, and private detective Dakota North.
