When a masked criminal by the name of Gladiator starts wrecking havoc in Hell's Kitchen, Matt Murdock comes to stop him in the night as Daredevil. When he doesn't find a crook, but a man manipulated by Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, to cause a distraction from another deal he had going on, Matt has to get more involved. He decides to use his prowess as a lawyer to defend Melvin Potter, the man behind Gladiator and a costume designer/armorer by trade. Meanwhile he also goes after Fisk in the courtroom by day, while trying to take his operation down as Daredevil by night.
