A Vol. 2 What If that doesn't end in (in the words of MST3K) "either toilet vodka or unicorn giggles?"

Huh.

Good story, though.

So basically, everything works out fine, except for poor Foggy?
(Well, him and Stick, but to Hell with what Stick wants.)

Maybe Uatu's What If...? machine is broken...

This was rather more upbeat than most What Ifs, that's for sure.

Well, you can't really what-if Daredevil and go dark since that's the regular business. So good call here.

[zylly]

Well. I think this is pretty much the definitive proof that Matt Murdock is literally a curse upon everyone he meets except for Foggy.

Point.

I think the only people to escape the Murdock curse are Natasha, who has enough issues of her own to eclipse Matt's, and Kristen McDuffie (that we know of. We'll see where the next couple issues take us).

" Instead, she establishes a successful law practice.. while indulging a penchant for martial arts memorabilia.

Unopposed, the Beast of the Hand became the effective President of the United States of America.. and has been ever since.

Surprisingly, the world situation did not diverge very much on that point. "

"Except there were slightly more ninja around.

But nobody cared too much."

[lieut_kettch]

More ninja is actually a good thing. It makes them easier to defeat.

I like this Matt/Wilson relationship.

Essentially this is almost what happens to Matt in Spider-Gwen although he ends up becoming the Kingpin himself.

In the last page of the issue, which I couldn't upload due to site rules, it ends with Matt being poised to take over the Kingpins empire, albeit hesitant to do so.
