Vincent D’Onofrio really nails this interpretation of Kingpin in Daredevil’s fourth episode.

But that presents us with a problem.

How do we approach reviews?

To restore their credibility they give a shot to track Matt down by finding and kidnapping Claire.

She manages to alert Matt using her phone.

The Kingpin cuts the date short, but Vanessa appears to have been scared off.

This angers the Kingpin, so he brutally murders the Russian.

So, that thing from last episode I didnt want to mention?

Its basically confirmed here.

Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) is the woman who will presumably become the Kingpins wife, Vanessa Fisk.

She first appeared inAmazing Spider-Man (1963) #70.

Unusual, for an art dealer.

One imagines that just the confirmation that alien life exists would radically alter most peoples world view.

And where is the new church of Thor?

Its odd enough that Claire hasnt said to Matt So do you think youre a superhero?

Do you have superpowers?

He references her past activities.

Matt and Claire have great chemistry, which is a surprise.

Dont get in the way of the Kingpin and his woman, is the lesson Ive learnt here.

I like the contrast, though.

DOnofrio nails that interpretation.
