Daredevil, also known as Matt Murdock, is one of the most intriguing characters.
Blinded by a radioactive substance as a child, Matt’s other senses were heightened to superhuman levels.
Despite his blindness, he has become a formidable hero in Hell’s Kitchen. However, there was a time when Daredevil regained his sight, albeit temporarily.
This is the fascinating story of the only two people whose faces Daredevil (not young Matt Murdock) could see, and you learn that after reading this article or Superior Iron Man issue #3.
How Tony Stark Gets Daredevil’s Sight Back
The story begins with Tony Stark, who, in a shocking turn of events, turns evil.
He spikes San Francisco’s water supply with a modified Extremis virus, causing everyone in the city to contract it.
Simultaneously, he releases an app that activates the Extremis, transforming users’ bodies into perfect physical specimens.
However, the effects are temporary, and reactivation costs $100 for another 24 hours.
The people of San Francisco quickly become addicted to their newfound perfection but soon run out of money, leading them to resort to crime to maintain their addiction.
The city plunges into chaos, and Daredevil decides to investigate the spike in crime.
Daredevil discovers that Tony Stark is behind the chaos and confronts him.
Unfortunately, Tony captures Matt and gives him a dose of Extremis, which temporarily restores his sight.
In a twisted offer, Tony promises a permanent cure if Matt agrees to work for him.
Knowing he is outmatched but unwilling to compromise his principles, Matt refuses and manages to escape.
The Two Faces Daredevil First Sees For Temporary
With his sight temporarily restored, Daredevil flies back to New York. He seizes this rare opportunity to see his best friend, Foggy Nelson, for the first time.
Foggy, his long-time friend and law partner, has been by Matt’s side through thick and thin. The ability to see Foggy’s face, even for a brief moment, is a deeply emotional experience for Matt.
And the first face Daredevil sees after regaining his sight is none other than Tony Stark.
