Vanessa’s Death In Daredevil Born Again Sets Up The Return Of This Netflix Ironfist Villain

Key Points:

• The latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again concludes with Vanessa Fisk dying from injuries inflicted by Bullseye, leaving Wilson Fisk consumed by grief and rage.
• In the comics, Vanessa's death leads Fisk to eventually find love with Mary Walker (Typhoid Mary), a complex character with dissociative personality disorder who was originally one of Fisk's enforcers.
• Mary Walker, introduced in the MCU through Netflix's Iron Fist, has multiple alters including a potential third, more violent one called Bloody Mary, which could explain her comic book powers of telekinesis and pyrokinesis.
• Future storylines might explore a relationship between Fisk and Mary, reflecting Fisk's attraction to unrestrained violence after Vanessa's death, marking a shift in his character's restraint.
• Showrunner Erik Oleson revealed that a scrapped fourth season of Daredevil would have made Typhoid Mary the main villain, featuring a "warped love story" and a rebooted version of the character incorporating the Bloody Mary alter.
