Hell’s Kitchen is no longer just a neighborhood in New York City — it is a self-declared city-state still ruled by Kingpin, who has still crowned himself President. Through intimidation, political leverage, and carefully orchestrated “reforms,” Wilson Fisk has created the illusion of order. Crime is legalized under regulation. Protection is mandatory. Dissent is treason. The American government tolerates it because the streets are technically quieter. But one voice refuses to be silenced. That voice belongs to Daredevil. Matt Murdock moves through the city like a rumor — unseen, unheard, but always present. He disrupts illegal shipments, exposes corruption, and publicly embarrasses Fisk’s administration. For a man obsessed with control, Fisk finds this intolerable. Arresting Daredevil would make him a martyr. Killing him publicly would make him a legend. So Fisk decides to do something more elegant. He introduces a symbol. A man with perfect aim. A man who never misses. Bullseye.
