10 Villains We Hope To See In Daredevil: Born Again

4. The Hood

Daredevil usually fights three kinds of baddies – thugs, supervillains, and supernatural entities like The Hand. However, the Hood is one of the few who ticks every box.

Years ago, Parker Robbins was nothing more than a lowly... um... hood. But after stumbling upon a demonic cape (as you do in comics), he was endowed with black magic. With his newfound abilities, Robbins, now calling himself The Hood, quickly crafted his own supervillain empire.

But that wasn't enough. Intoxicated by his dark power, Hood did all he could to track down every forbidden spell imaginable, until his sorcery was almost on par with Doctor Strange.

But it's not just his magic that makes him a deadly adversary - it's his ambition. Over the years, Hood has led armies of 50 supervillains, allied with Loki, let a demon possess him to help him fight the Avengers, resurrected 18 villains to kill the Punisher, and came dangerously close to obtaining all the Infinity Stones.

Because his father worked for Kingpin and his cloak was crafted by Doctor Strange's enemy, Dormammu, Hood already has connections with the MCU. And because he's had many interactions with Daredevil, Born Again would be the perfect instalment to bring the Hood into the fold.
