Finn Cooley Irish mobster Finn Cooley was taken out by the Punisher, who blew off the top half of his face with a shotgun. And this is just a small nod, but the ship the Punisher blows up has “227” on the side, and it was Daredevil #227 that kicked off the Born Again storyline.
Also, Born Again is where we learned about Karen Page’s dark, traumatic past, something repeatedly hinted at over the course of the show, most notably when we get a glimpse at Ben Urich’s report detailing her background.
#Watch daredevil season 1 episode 2 professional
Born Again is all about how Wilson Fisk utterly dismantles every aspect of Matt’s professional and personal life in agonizing fashion, and that’s exactly what Fisk threatens to do during the prison visit scene where he uses Matt’s head as a basketball.
Born Again Setup Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli is one of the most acclaimed Daredevil comics, and we saw quite a few things that look to be setting it up, potentially for the storyline of Season 3. Punisher: War Zone is not only the name of a Punisher comic (used for three different Punisher runs) but the title of the 2008 Punisher movie. Punisher: War Zone When talking about the Punisher, you hear people use the phrase “war zone” quite a few times. Although, both the Skrulls and actor Clancy Brown do have very strong chins. Blacksmith Now, there is a Marvel comic book villain named Blacksmith, but he’s a shapeshifting Skrull alien, not a corrupt, murderous military man. Finally, Jeri Hogarth makes an appearance to offer Foggy a position at her law firm, wanting him for his expertise in dealing with vigilantes. Given that he’s skipping town the last time we see him, we could potentially see him pop up again in their Netflix shows. Side note: Her assistant is Blake Tower, a longstanding character in Daredevil’s comics (originally white-skinned and blond-haired) who has also worked with Luke Cage and Iron Fist. There’s also mention of how DA Samantha Reyes wants to tighten her grip on vigilantes, as evidenced by her appearance in the last episode of Jessica Jones where she tried to pin Kilgrave’s crimes on Jessica. Nurse Claire Temple mentions having to take care of a big strong guy, referring the episode where she had to save Luke Cage. Marcy drops Jessica’s name while having a drink with Foggy. Jessica JonesThere were a few references to the Jessica Jones Netflix show. Death Becomes Her Elektra is killed by Nobu with a sai, but in the comics, it was Bullseye who killed her with a sai, although under much different circumstances. The Punisher was originally a Vietnam vet in the comics, as opposed to Iraq and Afghanistan like he says in the show, so this could be the show’s way of acknowledging his comic book origin. Vietnam Vet The man who discovers the Punisher on the roof talks about he’s a Vietnam veteran. The Dogs of Hell biker gang first appeared in Season 1, Episode 15 where Asgardian sorceress Lorelei controlled them with her men-seducing powers. YES NO Agents of DOGS And there’s another connection to Agents of SHIELD.
