Introducing new characters in Daredevil
One of the great things about the Netflix’s Marvel series is they focus on the street types. The heroes and villains with the fancy powers, high tech suits of armor, and bright costumes are better left to Disney and the movies. Netflix is where you go to when you’re looking for something more hardcore and a lot more “realistic” and there are a lot of those characters in the Marvel Universe. They haven’t even scratched the surface. Shadowland is a great story to introduce some of the characters the casual fan may not know about, and also some that have been highly anticipated by the hardcore fans.
Among the character that could be introduced are Black Tarantula and White Tiger (who sided with Daredevil). Both are Latin characters which is something that has been needed in Marvel shows and movies.
Beyond that, they’re both amazing fighters. Black Tarantula may not be a great character as a lead, but he works great as a villain. White Tiger, on the other hand, has a power that comes with a legacy. This makes for a great story to tell. There are also the more popular characters like Ghost Rider (Not the one from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and the Master of Kung Fu who could make their debuts.
One character that everyone has been waiting for is Moon Knight. If Shadowland becomes the last season of Daredevil, or even just a break, Moon Knight would be the perfect character to step in and become Hell’s Kitchen’s next protector. He’s a skilled fighter, completely insane, and has more than enough background and personality to maintain his own series as well as become a fan favorite. The costume with the cape may be a bit much, but he does have his all-white suit that stays true to the character.
