The Defenders: 30 Best Easter Eggs In Netflix's Marvel Universe (So Far)

20. Father Lantom - Daredevil

Right at the beginning of the first Daredevil season, we're introduced to a priest who plays a key part in Matt Murdock's evolution into Daredevil throughout the first season (and in one episode of the second).

He's called Father Lantom, and he should be familiar to Marvel comic fans. He's the same priest who appeared in The Runaways comics, and who gave the super-runaways refuge from their families.

He also has connections to Cloak and Dagger, and it would have been great for him to be the unifying presence to tie Netflix shows for those characters together here too. Sadly, that wasn't meant to be.
