Daredevil Season 2: 10 Things That Must Happen
9. Madame Gao, Stick, The Hand And Black Sky
The vast majority of Daredevil deals in the more 'realistic' side of the superhero genre. Sure, Matt Murdock is blinded by radioactive waste and has a radar sense, but he has no augmented strength, he can't fly and he mostly goes up against organised crime. Daredevil is, at its core, a crime show that happens to have some wicked superhero action.
However, in the middle of the season came the episode Stick, which showed that there is a larger, more supernaturally-based world beyond Hell's Kitchen.
Black Sky, a weapon known as the "bringer of shadows" is transported to New York by Wilson Fisk's collaborator Nobu. It turns out that this weapon is actually a little boy and that Stick, Matt Murdock's blind mentor, kills him after claiming that he not a child at all.
The backstory to Black Sky seems to hint at the involvement of The Hand (the famed Marvel Comics ninja clan that Nobu is likely a member of) and The Chaste, Stick's clan.
Madame Gao (another of Fisk's inner circle) shows some unexpected strength in a fight with Daredevil as well, so it looks like she will factor in to all this in some way. It could be that it will be dealt with in the Iron Fist Netflix show, but hopefully season two of Daredevil dips its toes in these waters again too.
