The Most Wanted Vigilantes of 'Daredevil: Born Again'

Following Wilson Fisk’s election as mayor in Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again, vigilantism in New York City fell under intense scrutiny. With his new institutional powers, Fisk officially outlawed costumed vigilante activity in the city, putting New York’s heroes on the defensive. As the once and future Kingpin tightens his control over the city Daredevil calls home, the newly established Anti-Vigilante Task Force enforces the mayor’s will and provides cover for his more… illicit activities.

Both in the comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, New York City has been a hub for heroes, super-powered and otherwise, and now in Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, they’ll all feel the crushing pressure of Fisk’s new edict. Here are the heroes taking to the streets and resisting Fisk’s rule in Daredevil: Born Again.

But soon after first suiting up as the masked hero, Matt would make an archnemesis out of Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin pulling the strings of organized crime across New York City. Now, with Fisk more powerful than ever as the Mayor of New York in Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Daredevil must prepare to lead the resistance and topple the Kingpin once and for all.
