The main difference is the tone. 'Dark daredevil fanfiction' is often grittier and more somber. It might explore darker themes like extreme violence, moral decay, and the character's descent into a more troubled state. Regular fanfiction may focus more on the heroic side of Daredevil.
They often involve high - risk situations. For example, in a story, a character might be exploring an old, abandoned mine shaft with little to no safety equipment. Danger is a key characteristic.
Sure, it can be normal. Just like any person might be interested in what others write about them or their alter - ego. It's a way to connect with the fan community on a different level.
One great 'dark daredevil fanfiction' is 'The Darkening of Hell's Kitchen'. It delves deep into a darker version of Daredevil's world, with complex villains and moral ambiguities. Another is 'Shadows over Daredevil' which presents a more gritty and shadowy take on the character's story, exploring his internal struggles in a darker light.
Well, it could be a way for the daredevil to see how others perceive their character. Maybe they find it interesting to see the different scenarios and relationships that fans come up with in the fanfiction.
One dark daredevil story could be about a lone biker who rides through a haunted forest at night. He ignores all the warnings of strange noises and apparitions. As he goes deeper, his bike starts to malfunction and he's haunted by shadowy figures, barely making it out alive.
One popular theme is exploring Matt Murdock's internal struggle with his dual identity. Another is his relationships, like his complex dynamic with Elektra. Also, the idea of how he balances his law career and vigilantism is often explored in fanfiction.
A strong - willed lawyer would be an ideal wife for Daredevil. She could help him with legal matters related to his vigilantism. Also, she would be able to hold her own in the dangerous world Daredevil inhabits.
Matt Murdock is the obvious choice. His complex character with his blindness, enhanced senses, and moral code makes for great writing. Elektra is also very interesting, with her dark past and her love - hate relationship with Matt.
Black Widow would be a likely ally. They both have a background in street - level combat and stealth. They could work together on a mission that requires infiltration and taking down enemies quietly. Their skills would complement each other well, with Daredevil's enhanced senses helping to detect hidden threats and Black Widow's combat training and espionage experience being crucial in executing the mission.
