New York
In the urban dwellings of the city crime is rampant. People are in danger of theft, being attack, and even murder every night. But there are those who can not stand by and watch injustice continue. These people who use whatever talents they have to make a difference around them. Guardian devils, reformed crooks, hired heroes, and self-appointed executioners. They are the protectors of the street, the urban heroes who may not save the world but still find a way to save lives.
Daredevil…
Matt Murdock was raised by his father, boxer "Battling Jack" Murdock, in Hell's Kitchen. When young Matt saved a man from an oncoming truck, it spilled a radioactive cargo that rendered him blind while enhancing his remaining senses. Under the harsh tutelage of blind martial arts master Stick, Matt mastered his heightened senses and became a formidable fighter.
When he was attending Columbia University Law School his father was murdered by agents of the Fixer. Mat became enraged when the legal system failed to bring the Fixer to justice. He donned a costume made from his father's boxing robe and went into action as Daredevil. Now establishing a small New York law firm with college friend Foggy Nelson, Matt vowed to serve the law as Matt Murdock and to fight evils beyond the law's reach as Daredevil.
Punisher…
Born in New York, Frank Castle is a former U.S. Marine Captain. Before his enlistment, he married his wife Maria who was already pregnant with their first child. Shortly after a tour of service, Castle, his wife, Maria and their children were in New York's Central Park for an afternoon picnic when they witnessed a Mafia gangland execution. Seeking to eliminate all witnesses, the criminals shot down his family. However, Castle survived. Even though Frank was able to identify all of the shooters the police were unable to help Castle in his quest for justice. He decided that the only punishment criminals might receive is that of physical destruction. He emblazoned his body armor with a symbol of a death's head, and exacted his revenge. Since then he has waged a one-man war upon crime, taking the name Punisher.
Heroes for Hire…
A business founded by superhumanly strong Luke Cage, which offered superhuman security and investigation, services for a fee. Cage has teamed up in his business with the mystic martial artist Iron Fist to form Heroes for Hire
