36 Years Ago, Daredevil Unveiled An Iconic Look In This Underrated Marvel TV Movie

Many fans believe Daredevil’s all-black costume and mask with no eyes first appeared in the 1993 mini-series The Man Without Fear. However, it actually debuted in 1989’s The Trial of the Incredible Hulk. Both costumes will be different in the upcoming series, with the earlier one appearing to be black spray-painted. This is a departure from the simple black sweats and hooded mask worn in Seasons 1 and 3 of the original Daredevil series. Interestingly, before Charlie Cox and Ben Affleck, actor Rex Smith played Daredevil (and Matt Murdock) in what would be the last appearance of Bill Bixby’s Incredible Hulk. That costume was a basic black spandex suit, but it significantly influenced how Daredevil looked in future appearances.
