In an interview on Marvel's website, upcoming writer for the new Daredevil series, Mark Waid, was asked about the supporting cast for the series, in particular Matt Murdock's love interests. Well, it seems like villains aren't the only things Daredevil is taking from Spider-Man:

Marvel.com: Who would you prefer to write as Daredevil’s love interest: Karen Page, Elektra, somebody else or somebody new?

Mark Waid: Someone new. Karen's still dead, Elektra I love but don't have a feel for, but there are several new women coming up soon in Matt's life who are potential romantic interests, including someone quite surprising borrowed from the Spider-Man cast. Ponder that and start placing your bets.


Well, while it may be too soon to answer, it appears we might have an idea who it is, based on another preview image Marvel released for Daredevil #1...





I could be wrong but the woman in this scene looks like Michele Gonzales.

You folks remember, Michele from Amazing Spider-Man, right? The hot-tempered Latina defense attorney Mark Waid introduced in ASM #594, who was Vin Gonzales' brother and became Peter's roommate?



Whom Peter, due to consuming some champagne at his Aunt May's wedding (well, mostly apple-flavored ginger ale, actually) mistook for his ex, Mary Jane (Amazing Spider-Man #601):





Who also "swapped spit" with the Chameleon pretending to be Pete (in Amazing Spider-Man #603)...




...and became Peter's sweet, loveable girlfriend as a result (Amazing Spider-Man #604)...



That is, until Peter decided to come clean that it wasn't his "spit" she was "swapping..." (Amazing Spider-Man #605)





But at least she was kind enough to let Peter stay in the apartment (from Amazing Spider-Man #606)...



And appreciated the company of his friends (also from Amazing Spider-Man #606)...






But apart from being tolerant, she's also honest (from Amazing Spider-Man #612)...



Nurturing (from Amazing Spider-Man #617)




Charitable (from Amazing Spider-Man #642)...



And proud for her roots (from Amazing Spider-Man #647)



So, if  Michele Gonzales is indeed going to be a new love interest for Matt, and as long as he doesn't raid her refrigerator without asking (from Web of Spider-Man #9)...




Then he couldn't have asked for a better gal. :-D

I am really conflicted about Michelle, as a Latino i want to like her, and to be honest there are quite a few things to like. she's tough, she's good with a gun (what this is the marvel verse, you be good with a gun or you DIE), she's and educated attorney no less!

but then she has the stereotypical "Hot blooded latina" rage thing going, and the ditzy (To be honest she seems to have a few racist stero types orbiting her)

seriously after "making out" *rolls eyes* she automatically thinks they are on throwing clothes out, wearing bf's clothes, one step away from marrying "dating"? seriously!

i REALLY want to like her... really... but... ugh! does anyone understand me?

Yeah, a lot of us probably do. You've "gotta" get practiced at ignoring or fanwanking the insulting parts of a character if you're gonna get ahead in 'liking female characters' school a fair amount of the time, though. Unfortunately.

I read these pages and I mentally edit out the hi-larious stereotype crap. Pretend she's a real person with all those good points you list, being written about by a person who's got some racism/sexism de-briefing to do and just hang on to the good stuff.

It may be worth the effort, and I genuinely applaud those who can, but in this case, I don't think I've got it in me. She actually managed to make me feel sorry for BND Peter Parker, and that ain't easy.

To be fair, though, she didn't start throwing Peter's clothes out until AFTER he dumped her, which, to her, was done in the shittiest way possible.

More often than not, Russians are represented very stereotypically in comics. Even some of the better characters can fall back on tired stereotypes. So, yeah, I kind of do.
