Karen Folio, the former secretary of the Nelson & Murdock police offices in New York City and ex-girlfriend of Matt Murdock, had left years earlier to pursue an acting career. Later on a brief menstruum of success, she became a heroin addict and was reduced to starring in pornographic films in United mexican states. Strapped for greenbacks, she sells the information that Matt is Daredevil for a shot of heroin. This information is sold upward to the Kingpin. Over the next six months, the Kingpin uses his influence to have the IRS freeze Murdock'southward accounts, the banking company foreclose on his flat, and police lieutenant Nicholas Manolis bear witness that he saw Murdock pay a witness to perjure himself. By coincidence, Murdock'due south girlfriend Glorianna O'Breen breaks up with him and turns to dating his police force partner and all-time friend Foggy Nelson on the rebound.
Daredevil's initial investigations uncover that Manolis is helping to frame Murdock in exchange for medical treatments for his son, but he is unable to notice who is behind the frame-upwards and unwilling to turn Manolis in to the authorities. An exceptional legal defence by Nelson saves Murdock from a prison sentence, though he is barred from practicing law. His initial plan foiled, the Kingpin has Murdock's apartment firebombed, leaving his Daredevil costume in the wreckage to show that he knows his hugger-mugger identity and is responsible for his recent trials. He also gives out the club to accept anyone else who handled the information on Daredevil'southward identity killed. Karen eludes the Kingpin'southward assassins and makes her mode to New York to find Murdock.
Now homeless, suffering from paranoia and growing increasingly aggressive, Murdock is continuously followed past the Kingpin's subordinates, providing the Kingpin with frequent updates on Murdock's mental state, every bit he has become obsessed with the fruits of his scheme to destroy Murdock. Driven by thoughts of revenge, Murdock confronts the Kingpin in his office and is brutally beaten by the crime lord. To avert investigation into his death, the unconscious Murdock is drenched in whiskey and strapped into a stolen taxi cab, which is so pushed into the East River. Murdock regains consciousness, breaks out of the cab, and swims to safety.

When his son dies, Manolis confesses to Urich nigh the frame-up and his suspicions that the Kingpin was behind information technology. Nurse Lois, an enforcer assigned by the Kingpin to monitor Manolis, responds by breaking Urich'south fingers and chirapsia Manolis nigh to expiry. The unintimidated Manolis calls Urich from his hospital bed, however, Lois breaks into his room and strangles him, laying the receiver on his bed then Urich tin can hear his murder. Rather than cowing him, this goads Urich to come forward with his investigation, alerting his newspaper and the authorities of the situation.
Karen arrives in New York, having hitched a ride with pornography fanatic Paulo Scorcese who supplies her with heroin in commutation for sexual favors. She contacts Foggy to ask virtually Murdock's whereabouts. When he realizes that Paulo has been beating her, Foggy insists on taking her into his home.
The Kingpin, increasingly obsessed with killing Murdock, uses his war machine connections to procure America's super soldier Nuke.

Nurse Lois offers to show against the Kingpin in exchange for a reduced sentence, but he has her killed past a Daily Bugle reporter sent to interview her. Having failed to draw Murdock out of hiding, the Kingpin orders Nuke to fly to Hell'due south Kitchen and make a general assault. From a helicopter, Nuke shoots dozens of civilians and destroys the diner where Murdock works. Appearing as Daredevil for the showtime time since his flat was destroyed, he is left with no choice but to kill both Nuke and his pilot to avoid further civilian deaths. Even so, Nuke survives his attack, and the Avengers get in at the scene to take Nuke into custody.
Captain America, disturbed that Nuke has a U.S. flag tattooed on his face, investigates his background. When the military regime give him evasive answers, he breaks into acme-hole-and-corner records and discovers Nuke is the only surviving test bailiwick of several attempts to recreate Project: Rebirth, the project that enhanced the Captain'southward ain body. Nuke breaks free from custody in the same base. He is stopped by Helm America, but the Kingpin gives the order to kill Nuke. Nuke is shot past the military. Having heard word of Nuke's escape while stealing coin from Kingpin'south drug importers to rebuild the diner, Daredevil grabs Nuke from Captain America and takes him to the Daily Bugle, hoping to get him to evidence about the Kingpin.
