The first episode of Daredevil: Born Again shows that Jack Duquesne, also known as Swordsman, is at the center of a very public trial. This trial isn’t about finding the truth, but about Kingpin, Fisk, convincing the city that all masked vigilantes are dangerous. Fisk is carefully controlling the situation – he’s even put Matt Murdock’s ex-girlfriend, Heather Glenn, in charge of mental health evaluations and is using her to portray Duquesne as a violent psychopath. The trial is clearly designed to support Fisk’s version of events, but this storyline also creates an opportunity to bring back a popular character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
