Daredevil Season 3: 8 Things That Must Happen

6. Matt Meets His Mother

At the start of season two's episode three, we see a flashback to Matt's childhood where a kindly nun is tending to him. Now, this could be a throwaway scene (pfft!) but comics fans will know that this is much more likely setting up an important character to be picked up in the show's future. Here's hoping that this character is introduced in season three, as they would be an interesting addition to the show. So who is this mysterious nun? It is almost certainly Matt's mother.

In the comics, Maggie Murdock suffered from post-natal depression after giving birth to her son, even being driven to try and hurt the baby boy. Terrified by her actions, she left her family and hid herself away in a convent. Just from the point of view of the characters, introducing Maggie in season three would be a great move - because basically Matt needs some good news right now. After Elektra's death, the guy could do with having his mother back in his life.

Also, the introduction of Matt's mother in the comics happens in seminal storyline Born Again, which fans have been dying for the show to adapt since season one. Could season three finally tackle it?
