Matt Murdock has spent nearly a decade as Daredevil, protecting Hell’s Kitchen while balancing his life as a lawyer. But when a series of brutal murders targets doctors, politicians, lawyers, and others connected to New York’s failing medical system, Matt begins investigating alongside Foggy Nelson, journalist Ben Urich, and Detective Jean DeWolff. The killer is Larry Cranston, a brilliant former neurologist and attorney who was once close to Matt. After developing a progressive brain disease that doctors and the city repeatedly ignored, Larry’s paranoia and hallucinations worsened. Using chemicals derived from his old research, he becomes Mr. Fear, forcing victims to experience their deepest fears before killing them. Though his original anger came from genuine injustice, Larry has become completely consumed by hatred, making him a truly monstrous killer. As Mr. Fear's attacks escalate, Matt discovers Larry knows his secret identity but is increasingly unable to communicate it because of his deteriorating mind. Larry's ultimate target is Wilson Fisk, the wealthiest man in Hell’s Kitchen and someone Daredevil has battled for years. Matt must save the man he has spent half a decade trying to bring down. Throughout the investigation, Matt receives guidance from flashbacks of Stick and support from his friend Danny Rand, who helps him confront his fear. Glimpses of Elektra and the Hand reveal that Matt still hasn't moved on from his past. In the final confrontation, Larry's chemicals completely shut down Matt's senses, leaving him isolated and paralyzed. Forced to confront his deepest fear, Matt learns to perceive the world through touch and vibrations, allowing him to find Larry and save Fisk without killing Larry. Larry is committed to a secure ward. Fisk warns Daredevil that their conflict isn't over. Matt simply smirks. “Wouldn't dream of it.”
