Marvel Is Already Getting Rid Of Its Best Daredevil
Warning: spoilers for Elektra #100 are ahead.
In 2021, Marvel Comics introduced important changes to one of its most recognizable characters, Daredevil. Matt Murdock went willingly to prison after accidentally killing a man.

The storyline was well-received by fans and critics alike, but the present relaunch of the Elektra comic book series shows that she is back to her roots as Marvel's deadliest assassin, leaving her Daredevil identity behind.
In the pages of Marvel's Daredevil series, written by Chip Zdarsky and drawn primarily by Marco Checchetto, Matt Murdock decided to let himself be arrested after accidentally killing a small-time criminal in a fight, wanting to prove that heroes are not above the law. Daredevil obtained the privilege of not revealing his true identity during the trial or in prison, but while he was in jail fighting his own demons and a conspiracy to use prisoners as test subjects for drugs, he could not leave Hell's Kitchen unprotected. Elektra stepped in, and even after Matt was released she did not abandon her new role, with her adventures shown in the Daredevil: Woman Without Fear series, by Chip Zdarsky and Rafael De Latorre. However, things have changed as Marvel decided to bring Elektra back to her roots.
