And just to be clear, women can be bros too.

Everyone loves a good bromance. There is nothing that makes for better television than that friendship that somehow squirms its way deep into your heart and makes you want to cry big dramatic tears and violently punch your pillows with joy all at the same time. With the second season of Daredevil premiering tomorrow (March 18) on Netflix, we got to thinking about some of the best bromances in the Daredevil franchise. We’re excluding overt love interests like Black Widow, Karen Page, and Elektra (because romance does not equal bromance), so without further ado, here are the Top 8 Bromances in Daredevil.

(Warning! Potential spoilers ahead if you aren’t familiar with or aren’t caught up with a number of Marvel comics!)

 

Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Peter Parker/Spider-man

As any fan of the Daredevil comics knows, Spider-man and Daredevil are, without a doubt, best friends. The root of their friendship lies in their shared desire to keep their secret identities an actual secret, unlike many of their peers. Spider-man’s real identity, in fact, is so well guarded it may as well be an intergalactic secret. It says a lot, then, that Matt is one of the few people Peter chose to reveal his superhero identity to and vice versa. Besides teaming up to clean up the streets of New York, Matt and Peter have called on each other a number of times to help each other out of personal jams. Peter was the one to console Matt over the death of Karen Page in Daredevil vol. 2 #8. Similarly, in the Civil War fallout, Matt helped defend Spider-man in court when J. Jonah Jameson sued Peter Parker for lying about his superhero persona. Peter has even called on Matt to help exonerate his on again, off again lover Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat, after she was accused of murder in The Evil That Men Do #4. Of course, Matt did later hook up with her while helping Spider-man clear her name again in Daredevil vol. 3 #8, which was so not cool, bro.



Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Luke Cage/Power Man

Luke Cage is a certified Good Guy. That’s something that his fellow superheroes have come to respect greatly about him, and Daredevil is no exception. In New Avengers vol. 2 #16, Luke and Jessica invited Daredevil to join the team likely out of respect for the street level superhero and because he, you know, saved their baby during an attack on the New Avengers mansion. Although they were only teammates for a short time before Luke and Jessica decided to leave the team for the safety of their newborn daughter, Luke and Matt became close friends during that time and remain so to this day. Luke is one of the few people out there who know Daredevil’s real identity.


Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Jessica Jones/Power Woman

In the same vain as Luke Cage, Jessica Jones is also one of the select few who get to call Matt Murdock, attorney-at-law, a friend. Not only did Daredevil earn her undying loyalty and gratitude after helping save Danielle in New Avengers vol. 2 #16, but he also hired her as a bodyguard when he assumed his civilian identity. Matt trusts Jessica implicitly, and the feeling is definitely mutual.


Matt Murdock & Foggy Nelson

Fans of the hit Netflix series will be most familiar with this pair of good-hearted avocados. Much like superhero best pals Spider-man and Daredevil, Matt and Foggy also fight crime and work hard to take bad guys off the street. The only difference is that their only weapon is their impressive knowledge of the legal and criminal justice system. All joking aside, Foggy and Matt’s friendship is one of the single best aspects of the first season. While Matt may have been the star of the show, Foggy was the heart. From dreaming about becoming full-fledged abogados and opening up their own firm together to the moment Foggy finds out about Matt’s superhero alter ego, there is no denying that Foggy and Matt play a special role in each other’s life. Foggy is his safety line to pull him back to shore when his self-destructive heroism begins to pull him under, and his reminder of the inherent good in the world he’s fighting to protect.


Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Ben Urich

Ben Urich is one of the few journalists left in New York with integrity and a knack for investigative journalism. He also happens to be one of the few journalists out there who can actually call himself a friend to superheroes. Instead of trying to reveal their secret identities all the time or generate sensationalist headlines chronicling every superhero misstep, Ben Urich is getting his hands dirty with the truth. This commitment to his craft has earned Ben Urich the respect and friendship of Daredevil and Spider-man, two of the most chronically misunderstood superheroes out there. That’s why he is the first person either of them call when the truth is a little too big to stay hidden any longer.


Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Danny Rand/Iron Fist

During his time as a New Avenger, Daredevil befriended most of his teammates, and Iron Fist was no exception. With their best friends Luke Cage and Spider-man becoming fast friends, it’s no surprise Iron Fist and Daredevil spent a good deal of time with each other and bonded over their mutual appreciation for the martial arts. When he was outed as Daredevil by the tabloids and jailed by the FBI, Iron Fist took up the mantle as Daredevil in Daredevil vol. 2 #82 in an attempt to absolve Matt of his alleged crimes as the man without fear.


Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Maya Lopez/Echo/Ronin

Maya and Matt have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. Maya was first introduced in Daredevil vol. 2 #9 as Echo, where she initially set out to kill Daredevil after learning from the Kingpin that he was responsible for her father’s death. After falling in love with Matt and discovering that Daredevil was in fact innocent, she fled the US to do some much needed soul searching. After coming to peace with her past, she returned and reunited with Matt. Throughout the rest of her time as a New Avengers and her other dalliances in the superhero business, she and Matt remained close friends, trusting and relying on each other completely.


Matt Murdock/Daredevil & Clair Temple/Night Nurse

Fans of the Netflix show may be surprised to learn that Clair Temple was actually first introduced in Luke Cage’s series Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #2, where she eventually falls in love with the titular character. She has had many run-ins with superheroes since her inception, but she never actually appeared in any Daredevil titles. Still, her friendships with heroes like Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Spider-man introduced her to our favorite blind vigilante, and they’ve been fast friends ever since. The Netflix show really elevated this bromance to a full-fledged romance, but regardless of whether she and Matt ever take their relationship to the next level, they remain friends first and foremost. The Daredevil series did a lot to develop this budding relationship – Clair was the first person Matt revealed his true identity to, and Matt trusts her above all others to keep his secret and help him no matter the circumstances. She’s tough as nails, and both have put their lives on the line to keep each other safe.
