Marvel Comics: 11 major moments comic book fans should know about (February)
By Mark Lynch
News from the King in Black! Knull takes big defeats from Marvel’s greatest heroes in February’s most memorable Marvel comic book moments.
Marvel had a big month of comic book moments in January. We found out that there was a possible reality where Reed Richards does something so appalling that Ben Grimm kills him, Storm alluded to the fact that she could be leaving Krakoa and the X-Men (meaning she’d be out of the Quiet Council as well), The Phoenix Force wants T’Challa, Wolverine wants to kill a god, and Daredevil becomes a servant of Knull.
In another short month, we were in for even more shocks. Yes, once again, there have been plenty of intriguing moments that will undoubtedly affect the future of the Marvel universe in February.
With that in mind, let’s get into it. And let’s start with what happened to Daredevil.
11. Marvel’s Daredevil resists Knull
Comic book: Daredevil No. 27
Knull’s grip on beings seemed to be unstoppable. That was until he came across Daredevil. The Man without Fear was possessed by a Knull-controlled symbiote and resisted it. Knull was impressed as no one had ever done this before. Not only was he resisting him, he fought Knull’s forces while being in a symbiote. In the end, Daredevil was willing to sit in an electric chair and get shocked to get the symbiote to release him.
Why is this important?
Daredevil could have used this opportunity to escape. Instead, he did the right thing. He showed one of the inmates that he was more than willing to do his time. This may also go towards him getting released earlier than expected. With everything that happened, the court system may reduce Daredevil’s sentence. It’s doubtful that Daredevil will accept it though. However, he may if Elektra can convince him to leave to help stop the Hand.
