Episode #34 - The Man Without Fear
Original Airdate - September 28, 1996

Spidey and Daredevil manage to recover the disk that can clear Peter Parker's name. However when Matt Murdock hands the disk over to the FBI, Det. Terry Lee discovers Agent Choi may not be working for the right side when she hands it over to Richard Fisk. After learning that Aunt May is in the hospital, Peter risks his life to go visit her, but he and Mary Jane are kidnapped when the Chameleon disguises himself as Anna Watson. With Peter and the disk in the hands of the Kingpin, Daredevil must stop the criminal mastermind and clear Peter's name.

Review:

This episode was a turning point in the series, as one of the main focus points of the show, the fact that Wilson Fisk is really The Kingpin, was finally revealed to Spider-Man.

As with part one, this episode was an excellent offering. Featuring nice animation and some very good music, the episode kicked the arc into high gear, and teased the fans by showing The Kingpin apprehended. I remember being shocked watching it when I was a kid, and then being surprised it was actually The Chameleon.

There was something about Daredevil’s presentation in the show that stood above all the other guest appearances. Maybe someone was trying to push for a Daredevil spin off, but it is obvious more effort went into Daredevil than say, The Punisher, or Blade. It may have been the fact Daredevil fit into Spider-Man’s world easier than the aforementioned, and was easier to get by the censors.

Regardless, truly a fantastic episode, and I’m deeply disappointed the proposed spin off never appeared.
