Spider-Man is Headed Towards a Face-Off With Daredevil – Screen Rant

Spider-Man and Daredevil may have been BFFs once, but now they are heading for a collision if Daredevil stays on his current path.

Matt Murdock might be back in the red as Daredevil, but now he's cruising for bruising with an unlikely enemy - a not-so-friendly-neighborhood Spider-Man!

After accidentally killing a criminal, Matt Murdock relinquished the mantle of Daredevil, pressured by his own conscience as well as Spider-Man, who threatened to bring him down if he ever took to the streets in costume again. However, Hell's Kitchen had other ideas. The latest conflict with the Stromwyn twins saw the citizens of Hell's Kitchen fighting back wearing Daredevil masks. With a renewed sense of purpose, Matt donned the horned mask once again to take the supervillains threatening his neighborhood - and then turned himself in to the authorities when all was said and done. Thanks to some legal maneuvering from his best friend Foggy, however, Daredevil will be the only one on trial - not Matt Murdock. However, just as he returned home to get his full costume (he'd only been wearing a mask previously), he found Spider-Man waiting for him.

The entire conversation is based on a non-issue. Spider-Man had declared that he would take down Daredevil if he donned the costume again, but Daredevil has already turned himself in to the police. The confused Spider-Man demands Daredevil stand down, but Daredevil not only refuses - he identifies Spider-Man as a criminal for breaking and entering and threatens to call the cops... in full costume! Spider-Man calls Daredevil a "piece of work" and hastily departs, but threatens to come back if Daredevil is lying. Daredevil heads to the courthouse, where he is ultimately arrested.

This isn't Daredevil's first confrontation with another superhero over his actions. Daredevil had a similar interaction with none other than Captain America after the events of Shadowlands, which saw Matt Murdock take over the Hand after being possessed by the Beast of the Hand. Fearing that Daredevil might break bad yet again, Captain America issued a similar warning to Daredevil, one that he had no trouble backing up.

Spider-Man makes for an interesting foil, largely due to the two characters' shared history as street-level heroes. In fact, in previous iterations, Spider-Man and Daredevil have an interesting sibling dynamic, with Daredevil often giving advice to the younger, less established Spider-Man. Such friendly pretenses are clearly off the table in this story, however. If the story has one flaw, it's that it works at the expense of Spider-Man, who seems more concerned about the implications of Daredevil's actions for the superhero community at large. It doesn't help that Spider-Man is completely befuddled when Daredevil reveals he is turning himself in. For now, Daredevil's stand-off with Spider-Man is over, but if his legal gambit doesn't pay off, he could be receiving another, far less cordial visit from the wall-crawler.
