Daredevil (1964 series) #214

Fresh off the events of last issue, Daredevil calls out Micah Synn for everything he’s done and promises there’ll be a reckoning! Daredevil quickly ascertains that Synn has fled and heads to have a chat with someone who might know where he went. Meanwhile, on the street below, Foggy and Debbie talk to the press, finally revealing Synn for the man he really is by reporting his murder of Professor Piper and his slave-like treatment of Debbie. Foggy also admits to lying when Becky previously spoke out against Synn. Nearby, one of Kingpin’s men is reporting on Synn’s whereabouts when Daredevil stops in to see him. Daredevil knew Fisk would have someone watching Synn, and he tells Daredevil that Synn headed downtown in a limo. Elsewhere, the Kingpin tells his men that the time is now right to move on Synn, with his forces and reputation now greatly diminished. He also tells them that Daredevil has outlived his usefulness and to eliminate him as well, should the opportunity arise.

At that moment, Micah Synn tells his limo driver to stop outside a street fair. He pushes his way to the front of a stand and starts wolfing down food. Another attendee doesn’t take too kindly to this and attacks Synn, who can only feebly fight back, his constant gorging having caught up with him. Synn shambles off only to discover his limo is now gone! A few blocks away, said limo’s driver reports Synn’s location to the Kingpin, who tells his men to isolate Synn far from the public eye and then kill him. Five of Fisk’s men load into a van and quickly find Synn. One of the men lines a shot up on Synn before another of the men hits him hard from behind, revealing himself to have been Daredevil in disguise the whole time! Daredevil quickly takes out the rest of Fisk’s men and relays a message to the driver for Fisk not to interfere anymore.

Meanwhile, at the building for WSAP TV news, one of their reporters details everything he’s found on Synn since his arrival in the U.S., including all of his run-ins with Daredevil. Back with Synn, he stumbles his way to a block of burned-out tenements while Fisk’s men resume their search under threat of death from their boss. Synn is welcomed in one of the abandoned buildings by some squatters. They introduce themselves and quickly take an interest in Synn’s medallion. They attack Synn, who is saved by the arrival of Daredevil. In the ensuing fight, the building gets set ablaze and Daredevil and Synn both escape the wreckage. Outside in the pouring rain, Fisk’s men have Synn at their mercy when they’re stopped by Daredevil yet again. He stylishly takes out all of Fisk’s men before calling out for Synn to face him. Utterly broken, Synn crawls on his hands and knees and begs for Daredevil to help him.
