Daredevil's new casualt--er, I mean, love interest...from Spider-Man (possible spoilers)

[stillanerd]

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

Doesn't matter who it is, they'll end up dead.

[cainofdreaming]

Hey, one got off with just a one-way trip to a sanitarium. So it's not like everyone he dates dies. Just 99.99% of them.

[kusonaga]

Y'know, that Michelle and Peter being roomies thing could've been really fun.

[darkknightjrk]

A LOT of things about Brand New Day could have been really good. A lot of them really didn't get there, though.

[sherkahn]

Yes, don't touch a woman's refrigerator.

If she is going to date Matt Murdock you can bet she will need the space for herself.

[greenmask]

I like Michelle. I hope she sweeps Matt away and they live (LIVE) happily ever after, fighting for justice of all kinds.

[twomasks]

I like Michele. I can see her the woman who "unhanded" Maven in Super Stupor.

Well..

[steverodgers5]

This is Matt we're talking about here! Guy gets around..

Didn't even Wolverine get all snippy about in it one of the last times they fought..I mean jeez if WOLVERINE thinks he can get all judgemental about another guy sleeping with lots of gals...well...;)

[shanejayell]

Wow, hopefully she won't be written as a one dimensional stereotype.

[shadowpsykie]

thank you! i REALLY want to like her, she's an educated Latina Attorney! and she's tough!... but she is a walking steroetype!

[auggie18]

Okay, never saw the last few panels before. Totally awesome, though. Much better than most of the other stuff I read with her in it. She never really got along with anybody, did she?


Oh my. Flash made his wheelchair look like the short-lived Spidermobile. That's pretty adorable, actually.

[darkknightjrk]

"Oh my. Flash made his wheelchair look like the short-lived Spidermobile. That's pretty adorable, actually."

Yeah, that was my highlight of that particular issue of Amazing. :D

[skalja]

Eh, on the one hand many of the characters intro'ed during BND are characters with potential who've been badly mishandled -- witness Norah in Amazing Spider-Man vs. Norah in American Son and Osborn -- but on the other, Waid was one of the people who mishandled Michelle in the first place.

[shadowpsykie]

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?

[greenmask]

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.

[blackruzsa]

Oh my god, she's insane. Does that save her at all?

[crabby_lioness]

Are you serious? This is Daredevil, she's fit right in. The only person who's allowed to be sane in a Daredevil comic is Foggy. It's written in the fine print of their appearance contracts.

[hyperactivator]

Hopefully Dr. Strange will remove the death curse from Matt's penis when he joins the New Avengers.

[auggie18]

...I kinda hope that that becomes an actual thing.

[thatnickguy]

I miss Milla. =(

I liked Milla.

[darkknightjrk]

Milla's the blind girl that Bendis introduced in his run, right? I liked her too. Has anything been done with her lately?

[silicondream]

Yeah, this pretty much settles it. Matt Murdock/Carlie Cooper OTP!!

[drmcninja]

That is probably the only way we'd get rid of her. I'll ship.

[halloweenjack]

It would be interesting to see if she gets written better in a non-Spider-Man book.

[thanekos]

you can have colors that soft anywhere near Daredevil?

How is that possible?

[proteus_lives]

Such glorious horror.

[biod]

Well, they said they were returning to the swashbuckeling days, so she may get off with some light crippling.

[thanekos]

I imagine Lady Bullseye will just crack her sternum with a baseball bat.

[newnumber6]

And the countdown begins to when she freaks out on him for not noticing and complimenting her on her new dress/hairstyle, like a good boyfriend should.

[stolisomancer]

I'm not one to really put on the slash goggles. Most of the time, that strikes me as kind of silly.

That said, everyone Matt Murdock dates gets killed, and everyone Tony Stark befriends gets maimed and/or killed. Foggy and Pepper both have some kind of immunity, but anyone else is in serious trouble.

So if Matt were to bang Tony, I think it would destroy the Marvel Universe... and if Foggy marries Pepper, their children would all be immortal.

[ishtar79]

How does Matt still get dates?

[cyberghostface]

Meh, she's better than Carlie. At least Michelle has some personality and isn't a bland Mary Sue.

[mcity]

Hang on.

Pete keeps his costume just sitting in his drawer?

[eyz]

As fun, cool and badass as she is.. she doesnt' stand a chance against "Matt Murdock's cursed girlfriends"..she'll either die, become a villain, or die and become a villain.

"A really racist rock" XD

[flint_marko]

I liked her.
