Devil's Reign is a Daredevil Crisis Crossover created by Marvel Comics in 2021. It is the continuation of Daredevil (2019) run.Mayor Wilson Fisk is angry. With Matt Murdock released from jail, his problems keep rising. Even more so, he's realized that he knew who Daredevil was, but can't remember him. In anger and with his reelection coming up, he's unleashed his latest scheme - an all-out ban on superheroes in New York. Can our heroes find a way to stop the Kingpin and this mad law? Or is this just the start for the former thug?Unlike most events, the story is self-contained, left within several tie-in mini-series and one-shots with very minimal actual titles involved. | |

Because Mike's been posing as Matt for much of Zdarsky's run, Fisk, Elektra, and everyone think he actually killed Matt. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Fisk discovering that he once upon a time knew Daredevil's secret identity. This has always been inevitable ever since the Purple Children's mind-wipe during the interim between the Mark Waid and Charles Soule eras. Their mind-wipe only erased the knowledge of Matt's identity and left a mental block preventing anyone from seeing the evidence (and that block could only be unlocked if Matt himself chose to reveal the truth). Their mind-wipe didn't destroy any of the physical or digital evidence of Matt's secret. With how much Daredevil has remained a thorn in his side (and having previously known his real identity since Born Again), it is completely plausible that Fisk would've had such documentation stashed away before the mind-wipe. It is thus realistic and inevitable that Fisk would eventually consult his files and finally discover his memories had been altered. Issue #3 also addresses another logical, if inevitable, repercussion of the mind-wipe: Killgrave knows. He's forgotten Daredevil's identity too, but he knows his children are responsible because he recognized their powers in action. The climax of issue #4 builds on this as Fisk realizes that the Purple Man's powers, if used on himself, could theoretically cut through the Children's mind-block and make him remember Daredevil's secret. It works. A post-Iron Fist Heart of the Dragon Danny Rand falling to Crossbones and his team off-screen. Danny may be one of the world's greatest martial artists, but at this point, he's also now powerless and his allies like Luke are scattered throughout the City. So the ex-Iron Fist can only hold his own for so long before being subdued and taken into custody. Having been on the receiving end of Killgrave's abilities during Alias, Jessica Jones, more than any of the other heroes, is the first to recognize his abilities at work when Fisk begins trying to brainwash the NYC electorate. Yes, Luke Cage won the mayorship, but the laws Fisk put in are still in effect, including his anti-vigilantism laws and his Thunderbolts team. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Devil's Reign: X-Men. Emma is cleared of the murder charges, Isabelle is still alive, and her onetime youthful charge now has a place on Krakoa. But Fisk still achieves a victory, as the financial malfeasance Emma committed for him has been exposed and restitution will not insignificantly damage her finances. There are also now warrants out for her arrest in countries that are not part of Krakoa's diplomatic agreements (such as the UK), limiting Emma's ability to travel and conduct official Mutant business. Devil's Reign. The Purple Man's mad rampage is shut down thanks to the last remaining powered Purple Child. Wilson Fisk is arrested and stripped of his power as mayor, but is rescued by Butch and the two proceed to frighten the Stromwyns into backing off, killing Quinn in the process. With everyone believing Matt dead, the real Matt decides to join Elektra in taking on the Hand. Fisk, meanwhile, has Butch tell everyone he is dead while he sails off with Mary for parts unknown. As for the mayorship, it seems that Luke Cage is running unopposed, setting him up to become the new mayor of New York. The Omega issues adds to the bittershipness: Yes, Cage won the mayorship, but the damage Fisk did is still there and vigilantes are still outlawed. Now he has to use that power to regain the trust of New Yorkers. | |

Sleepwalking: Wilson Fisk does this now, due to the stress of being unable to know or learn who the original Daredevil really is. Being the considerate man he is, he makes sure to only station guards without families where he sleeps, as he knows he could literally kill them in his sleep. The Winter Soldier learns this the hard way. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Fisk declares all-out war on NYC's superheroes because Daredevil (or rather the Purple Children) took his memories of Matt's secret identity and taunted Wilson about it. However, it's also subverted in that it was clear this was coming sooner or later (and is, if anything, a much larger, more legally airtight extension of the similar anti-superhero operation he'd already tried back in Charles Soule's Daredevil run). Matt was just the casus belli. | |

Internal Deconstruction | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_74911014 | comment |
Internal Deconstruction: Fisk's is righteously angry when he learns the Purple Children blocked out Matt's secret identity. He's on the warpath partially because he hates something being taken from him, partially because he finds it hypocritical of Matt to manipulate the minds of everyone for his own ends while claiming to be so righteous himself. | |

Cosmic Retcon | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_7cdfe326 | comment |
However, it also gets played with in that while Mike is dead, the Cosmic Retcon itself isn't actually undone with his death. As far as Matt and everyone else are still concerned, Mike Murdock always existed throughout Daredevil history and he's now lost his brother. Butch Pharris is the only person who knows the truth about their lives and histories being altered by Mike. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Butch Pharris, Mayor Fisk's son and the current crime lord of Hell's Kitchen, calls out his father for kicking the figurative hornet's nest that is the entire Superhero community just because one vigilante pissed him off. Knowing it's only a matter of time before their inevitable retaliation results in Fisk losing everything. A flashback in the X-Men tie-in shows Elektra calling Emma Frost out for trying to claim any kind of moral high ground against her, pointing out that while she kills people for the Kingpin, Emma destroys their lives and sends them to the gutter or jail or worse for him, and effectively subjects her victims to Death of a Thousand Cuts. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Played with when Matt taunts Fisk after the latter demands to know what he did to Fisk's memory and knowledge of Daredevil's identity. While this puts Fisk on the warpath and starts the Powers Act crackdown, Steve Rogers correctly points out later that Fisk still would've done something like this sooner or later (taunting or no). Kirsten McDuffie during the climax when she witnesses Fisk killing 'Matt' (actually Mike) and then notifies Daredevil and the authorities. It not only causes Matt to abandon the big brouhaha against Killgrave in mid-battle, but it also almost causes Elektra to abandon her Zdarsky-era character development and kill Fisk herself. Kirsten's actions also immensely complicate Matt's post-event status quo. With Mike's publicized death and the body, Matt can't just return to civilian life like normal. Matt has to remain 'dead' until (or even if) he can figure out how to plausibly 'resurrect' his civilian identity (though Matt at least is fine with this for now, as it'll allow him and Elektra to focus on dismantling the Hand). | |

He does so teach Butch a lesson about making deals with the devil, to give his son an 'inheritance' (the Kingpin role), and to use this betrayal as a means of faking his death. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: Just like in the Dark Reign era, Wilson Fisk abuses his position as Mayor of New York to deputize dozens upon dozens of supervillains to crack down on the city's superhero community on behalf of the law. This includes the likes of Agony, who — as elucidated in Venom (2021) — was sent by Senator Arthur Krane as part of the Friends of Humanity's partnership with Wilson Fisk despite being a symbiote host post-King in Black and being caught on camera melting and eating people in Extreme Carnage as part of Carnage's assassination of Senator Peter Krane. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Otto Octavius in the penultimate issue. He was so focused on creating anti-Killgrave safeguards for himself that he didn't think to do the same for the rest of the Superior Four. Fisk lampshades this as he takes advantage of the unintended loophole. In Omega, Luke Cage finds out that, just because he's Mayor, that doesn't mean the law Fisk put into place outlawing vigilantism is null. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: An inversion in that the breakdown happens before the tide really turns against Fisk. After remembering Daredevil's real identity once more, Fisk throws all his previous goals out of the window and focuses squarely on tearing the New York superhero community to the ground and killing Matt Murdock. Fisk's breakdown gets worse in the finale when Daredevil confronts him. Fisk is utterly shocked and with good reason given he thought he'd just murdered Matt Murdock at the end of the penultimate issue. Seeing Hornhead alive and well and coming for him sends Fisk into even more of an insane, unstoppable rage. | |

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: By the end of the event, Fisk's reign as NYC Mayor has finally ended.

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: Played with. This is not the first Daredevil-centric event Marvel's done (as that honor goes to 2010s Shadowland). That said, the scale and scope of Devil's Reign dwarf its predecessor. Shadowland was more of a street-level event affecting the grounded heroes like Luke Cage, Moon Knight, etc. Devil's Reign, by contrast, affects all New York-based heroes, including the big guns like Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Steve Rogers. Upgrading Devil's Reign from a storyline with the pages of Daredevil to a Crisis Crossover's also completely justified. While the 'Mayor Fisk' storyline affected multiple titles from Marvel Legacy onward (Nick Spencer's Spider-Man especially), the core narrative still ultimately began in the pages of Charles Soule's preceding Daredevil run and played out in Hornhead's title. Plus, Matt is Fisk's arch-enemy, so any attempt to take Kingpin down means Daredevil of all people will most certainly be leading the charge. | |

Continuity Overlap | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_a43fd672 | comment |
Continuity Overlap: Devil's Reign runs parallel to Spider-Man Beyond. As a result, the Spider-Man appearing within the event and tie-ins is Ben Reilly (as Peter Parker is still hospitalized). Miles Morales is also now wearing his redesigned costume which debuted on the cusp of Spider-Man Beyond. Otto Octavius has also just returned to New York (continuing on from the climax of Nick Spencer's preceding Spider-Man run). Devil's Reign: Spider-Man, while also running parallel with Spider-Man Beyond, also ties into the tail-end of The Amazing Spider-Man (2018). More specifically, it's following up on the resurrection of Richard Fisk a.k.a. the Rose at the end of King's Ransom. The Chameleon is also now on the loose following the events of The Chameleon Conspiracy, allowing Otto to hire him to secretly impersonate Tony Stark. Agony is shown as a member of Wilson Fisk's Thunderbolts, tying into Extreme Carnage and overlapping with Venom (2021). As per the recent events of the Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon mini-series, Danny Rand is no longer the Iron Fist and is de-powered — not that it stops him from bringing the pain in Devil's Reign #2. | |

Status Quo Is God | |

Status Quo Is God: Half a decade after Charles Soule's run wiped all public memory of Daredevil's secret identity, Fisk finally remembers at the end of issue #4. Zdarsky's preceeding run introduced a Cosmic Retcon where Mike Murdock, who was previously accidentally created by the Inhuman Reader, used a Norn stone to create himself an in-universe history as Matt's twin brother. Mike gets Killed Off for Real in a fit of rage by Wilson Fisk while posing as his twin brother. However, it also gets played with in that while Mike is dead, the Cosmic Retcon itself isn't actually undone with his death. As far as Matt and everyone else are still concerned, Mike Murdock always existed throughout Daredevil history and he's now lost his brother. Butch Pharris is the only person who knows the truth about their lives and histories being altered by Mike. | |

Dramatic Irony: In issue #2, Fisk correctly deduces from the evidence that Spider-Man is very likely a Daily Bugle employee. So he has Taskmaster and his goons set a trap at the publisher. His deduction is correct and the trap works... except Peter's out of commission due to Spider-Man Beyond and they've cornered the wrong Spider-Man (Ben Reilly) and don't know it. Fisk murdering Mike Murdock in the penultimate issue, thinking he's revenging himself upon Matt and not realizing he's actually killing the wrong Murdock. Mike also ironically is guilty of Fisk's accusations of 'Matt' violating and altering his memories. Mike used the Norn Stones back during the Annual to retroactively insert himself into Matt and company's lives and thus altered all their memories and histories. | |

When Daredevil tries to defeat Fisk the Christian way, he takes Fisk's purple-powered cane and commands Fisk to think about all the lives he's ruined. Fisk does, but no incapacitating guilt is forthcoming. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |

Pyrrhic Victory: Butch Pharris by the end of the event. He's claimed the Kingpin mantle, the Stromwyns are all dead, and Fisk will not be a problem for him or the rest of NYC organized crime moving forward. But it's not much of a victory, as Fisk killed his co-conspirator and best friend (i.e. Mike Murdock). Butch is left mourning Mike's death and clearly wishing he'd listened to Mike's pleas in the penultimate issue. While it's not explicitly stated, he's also left grappling with Mike's confession about using the Norn Stones and wondering how much of his life is actually a lie. | |

Rhino tries to break it up only to get into a fight with Electro, and Taskmaster gets dragged into the brawl trying to break it up too. It takes Fisk putting his foot down and threatening to have them sleeping with the fishes if they piss him off again to break the fight up. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
A flashback in the X-Men tie-in shows Elektra calling Emma Frost out for trying to claim any kind of moral high ground against her, pointing out that while she kills people for the Kingpin, Emma destroys their lives and sends them to the gutter or jail or worse for him, and effectively subjects her victims to Death of a Thousand Cuts. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: Fisk gets one at the end of issue #4 after Mary Walker laments her missing memories of their early interactions. Fisk accidentally is able to restore them with the Purple Man's power...and realizes that he can theoretically use them on himself to cut through the Purple Children's mind-block and make him remember Daredevil's identity. It works. | |

| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Mike Murdock's death in Devil's Reign #5. As Matt's twin brother-made-real, he's been posing as Matt since Daredevil's trial and while he was in prison. This means when Fisk's memories of Daredevil's identity are restored, he thinks Mike is Matt and it gets him beaten to death. | |

Hypocrite: When Fisk regains his memories of Daredevil's identity, he rants about how Matt is the "villain" for violating minds, even though Fisk has been doing that for the population of New York with the Purple Man's powers for weeks at least. | |

Content Leak | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_d8ee077 | comment |
Content Leak: Devil's Reign #5 and Woman Without Fear #3 were both intended to come out the same week. Unfortunately, the former was delayed a week and thus the conclusion of Woman spoiled Fisk kills Matt. However, given that Devil's Reign #5 reveals Fisk had actually killed Matt's 'twin' Mike, it's possible this delay was actually intentional to provide misdirection. | |

History Repeats | |
| Devil's Reign (Comic Book) / int_e003c829 | comment |
History Repeats: This story recycles A LOT of plot points from previous Marvel Crisis Crossover events, to the point where characters In-Universe lampshade the fact that Mayor Fisk's plot to enact and enforce a piece of dubious legislation that outlaws superheroes is nothing more than a retread of similar ploys they've already dealt with in the past. | |

Fisk acquired it some time following Dark Reign (presumably in the aftermath of Siege and the downfall of H.A.M.M.E.R. when its assets were being seized or went 'missing'). | |
