The 10 Most Significant Easter Eggs Of Daredevil Season 2

Apart from the great drama, Daredevil’s first season was a real treat for comics fans as it was stuffed full of references to the character's source material. Everything from the gritty acclaimed work of Frank Miller to the Matt Murdock's wackier early days were nodded to in the series.

Firstly, a few of the criminals on the Punisher’s hit list were characters ripped from the comics, both minor and major.

The leader of the Kitchen Irish gang is Nesbitt, a character who shares his name and position with a comics character created by Garth Ennis and Leandro Fernandez. The Punisher also goes after The Dogs of Hell biker gang. Marvelites might remember the gang’s Nevada branch turning up in the 15th episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s first season, “Yes Man.”

The most significant mobster who Frank Castle picks off though is brutal Irishman Finn in episode four. He’s based on the disfigured Finn Cooley from the comics. The character’s death in the show – the Punisher shoots him in the face – is a reference to the comics version’s horrible facial features.

The actor who plays him, by the way, is Tony Curran, and this is his second appearance in the MCU after playing Thor’s grandfather Bor in Thor: The Dark World.
