The search for the meaning of Daredevil’s last word continues. Ben Urich is still searching for the meaning of ‘Mapone”. He eventually finds Elektra which brought up some bad memories for both of them. But he left convinced that Elektra didn’t know what it meant. He may have not been truly convinced, but Elektra made him realize what he needed to do if he like living.
Ben’s next stop from Matt’s past was an actress named Mary. Of course we know her from her past as Typhoid Mary. She told Ben because of her medications and treatments that she does not remember anything from that past. In fact, she said it’s not her memories but hers, meaning Typhoid. Anyway, Ben didn’t want to push it too much so he went to another lead.
Who was his next lead? The vigilante known as Echo was his next stop. She and Daredevil had a special connection for a while, until Matt turned to the hand in the later points of his life. She admitted loving Matt towards the end but she had no idea what Ben was looking for.
Three women, past loves of the Daredevil, and they had no idea what Mapone meant. But the search would have to wait. While Ben was talking to Echo, he got word that they found Bullseye. Would Bullseye tell him what Mapone means? Ben was determined to find out. As Ben leaves and goes down an ally, we the reader see a familiar figure on the rooftops. Who is it and what does he want?
