Happy to be back in
fighting form, Daredevil makes in way back to his law office where he overhears
a conversation between Foggy and Becky. Foggy got a new door put in with his
name drastically bigger than Matt’s, justifying that he’s been the one holding
down the fort while Matt’s been away. Becky guesses that his wife put him up to
it, when Matt walks in. Not long after, they’re visited by a client named
Horatio Piper, a professor representing a Chief Micah and his two wives. Piper
explains that Chief Micah is the head of the Kinjorge tribe located in Eastern
Africa. The Kinjorge are descendants of British explorers who were cut off from
civilization and reverted to savagery in their enclosed little tribe for
hundreds of years until they were recently discovered. Piper wants Nelson and
Murdock to be their legal representation since everyone’s going to want a piece
of this story. After they leave, Becky notes that Chief Micah’s wives were
laughing at Matt and her, likely because they’re both handicapped.
On a nearby street, Micah
ends up assaulting a shop owner when he tries to take food without paying,
causing nearby police to get involved. After a struggle, the three of them
manage to subdue and arrest him, prompting Piper to call Nelson and Murdock for
assistance. The next day, Foggy is able to bail out Chief Micah and Piper
explains that due to his way of life, Micah saw nothing wrong with what he did.
One of Micah’s wives then wanders off when she sees a food cart and ends up
getting struck by a car. She’s taken to the hospital while Daredevil follows to
watch over everything, noting how Micah’s heartbeat indicates he feels nothing
for his wife’s condition. Soon after, the wife dies at the hospital and Micah
ends up assaulting the cop who arrested him earlier and hangs him out of the
window! Daredevil intervenes and ends up fighting Micah, surprised by his
strength. Daredevil tricks Micah into hitting an electrical box, using the
opportunity to stylishly subdue him. Daredevil notes that due to his basic emotional
state and ruthlessness, Micah may be the most dangerous man he’s ever met!

Synopsis
A young boy named Dirk
McGirk dresses up like Daredevil, or as he calls him Daringdevil, for his
class’s show and tell. He gives a report on Daredevil’s early history and the
many villains he fought including “Elektra” (Electro), “The Bowel” (The Owl), and
the “Gradiator” (Gladiator). He finishes up his misspelling-filled report with
the women in Daredevil’s life, the Blank Window and Electro (Black Widow and
Elektra). Dirk’s teacher is furious, when suddenly Daredevil punches Turk
through the window of the classroom. Daredevil thanks Dirk for his “help” and
swings off with Turk, to the cheers of the whole classroom. Dirk’s teacher
refuses to believe that was the real Daredevil and thinks Dirk had a hand in
it. She’s forced to dismiss class early due to all the broken glass and the
other kids cheer on the incredulous Dirk as their hero!
