“I’m not really a stick-around-and-talk-to-the-cops kinda guy.” – Daredevil

Matt Murdock lost his sight as a child but he also gained other superhuman senses. Determined to fight crime in Hell's Kitchen, he became a lawyer — and the masked vigilante known as Daredevil. Fans were thrilled when Charlie Cox reprised his popular role as Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and again when he was featured in Marvel’s hit show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Daredevil appeared in a new red and yellow outfit, a nod to his original comic book costume — or a ketchup and mustard color scheme, as Jennifer Walters likes to call it.
Inspired by Daredevil’s appearance in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the Daredevil 1/6 Scale Figure by Hot Toys features a detailed likeness of Charlie Cox as he reprises his original role. The figure comes with two new, hand-painted headsculpts, one with a cowled head and one with a Matt Murdock portrait. The figure has over 30 points of articulation and comes with a variety of hands, allowing a broad range of pose options. Daredevil wears an expertly tailored, screen-accurate weathered costume in dark yellow, burgundy, and gray plus a thigh holster for his Billy Club. Weapons include a pair of Billy Clubs, a Billy Club in extended mode, and a Billy Club in nunchaku mode. The figure also comes with Matt Murdock's signature sunglasses and a themed base.

With fans expressing excitement after seeing the return of Charlie Cox as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen in Spider-Man: No Way Home, his appearance in the finale episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law has took over the internet again. Making his official debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Daredevil immediately became a highlight of the show wearing the suit which takes its origins from classic comic, and is now being recreated as the highly-anticipated 1/6th Daredevil collectible figure. Skillfully crafted based on the appearance of Charlie Cox as Daredevil in the action series, the greatly-detailed figure features a newly developed Matt Murdock head sculpt with incredible likeness, a Daredevil cowled head, a meticulously tailored Daredevil suit in dark yellow, burgundy and greyish silver, the Billy Club in extended and nunchaku modes, his signature sunglasses and a figure stand.

Daredevil is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett, with an unspecified amount of input from Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Daredevil #1 (April 1964). Writer/artist Frank Miller's influential tenure on the title in the early 1980s cemented the character as a popular and influential part of the Marvel Universe. Daredevil is commonly known by such epithets as "Hornhead","The Man Without Fear",[8] and "The Devil of Hell's Kitchen".

Daredevil is the alias of Matthew Michael "Matt" Murdock, a blind lawyer. His origins stem from a childhood chemical accident that gave him special abilities. While growing up in the historically gritty or crime-ridden working class Irish-American neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen in New York City, Matt Murdock is blinded by a radioactive substance that falls from an out-of-control truck after he pushes a man out of the path of the oncoming vehicle. While he can no longer see, his exposure to the radioactive material heightens his remaining senses beyond normal human ability, and gives him a "radar sense." His father, a boxer named Jack Murdock, is a single man raising his now blind son, who despite his rough upbringing, unconditionally loves his son and tries to teach him to form a better life for himself. Jack is later killed by gangsters after refusing to throw a fight, leaving Matt an orphan. To protect himself, Matt began training to hone his physical abilities and superhuman senses under the tutelage of a mysterious blind stranger named Stick, eventually becoming a highly skilled and expert martial artist. Some years later, after graduating from law school with high grades, Matt seeks out the criminal element in Hell's Kitchen and starts his crime-fighting activities. Matt targets the local gangsters who murdered his father and succeeds in bringing them to justice. Eventually, donning a costumed attire modeled after a devil, Matt took up a dual life of fighting against the criminal underworld in New York City as the masked vigilante Daredevil, which put him in conflict with many super-villains, including his arch-enemies Bullseye and the Kingpin. He also becomes a skilled and respected lawyer after graduating from Columbia Law School with his best friend and roommate, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, with whom he becomes law partners, forming the law firm Nelson & Murdock. After pretending to have a sighted identical twin brother named Mike Murdock, who Matt would claim was Daredevil whenever his identity was made public knowledge, and occasionally impersonate, Mike is brought into existence following an encounter with a reality-warping mutant, before cementing his existence alongside Matt in history with a magic spell.

Daredevil has since appeared in various forms of media, including several animated series, video games and merchandise. The character was first portrayed in live action by Rex Smith in the 1989 television film The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, and then by Ben Affleck in the 2003 film Daredevil. Charlie Cox portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise, appearing thus far in the Marvel Television series Daredevil (2015–2018), the miniseries The Defenders (2017), the Marvel Studios film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) and the Disney+ television series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022), while being set to appear in the upcoming series Echo (2023), and Daredevil: Born Again (2024).
