Marvel's Netflix Series: 10 Things You Need To Know

9. Daredevil's First Up

Which will be interesting, because up until now the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been leaning exclusively on their big, titanic heroes. Iron Man, with his fleet of robot suits dealing with industrial espionage! Thor, the literal god, keeping the balance between realms! The Hulk is...a Hulk! Captain America, legend unstuck in time, bringing down the government! The first Netflix series, meanwhile, will deal with Daredevil. In his day-to-day life, Matt Murdock is a blind lawyer. By night, he fights crime in New York's Hells Kitchen district. His superpower? Erm, being blind. But having, like, sonar vision. And good balance? Previously seen in the mostly awful Ben Affleck film, Daredevil is a very different hero than the MCU has featured so far. The series promises to draw from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev's recent classic run, which was more like a crime series than superhero blockbuster. With ninjas.
