Daredevil's New Ally Is (Literally) Sent By God
Warning: contains spoilers for Daredevil #1!
Marvel's Daredevil is one of the few characters in comics who is openly a believer in God and even ascribes to a particular religion — and now his faith has been rewarded. Matt Murdock's Christian values are quite important to him as both as a superhero and as a lawyer; he often struggles to balance his violent vigilante activities with his belief in God. Now in Daredevil #1, a new character emerges to guide Murdock through the next tumultuous chapter in his life — though he may not be what he appears.

During the Devil's Reign event, his identical twin brother Mike Murdock was killed by Kingpin in a hit gone wrong (Kingpin believed he had killed Matt instead). Although «Matt Murdock» was dead, Daredevil still operated, and Matt took over his deceased brother's identity.
