What if... Karen Page had lived?

[cyberghostface]

The story opens with a guy at a diner (who's clearly Bendis) recapping Matt's life.



He goes onto say how Karen was murdered by Bullseye and sent Matt on the downward spiral that he is currently on.



In this version of events, Karen is not killed but is instead injured and hospitalized. Almost losing Karen puts Matt in a state of rage and he finds out that Kingpin was the one who started the chain of events that lead to her predicament.





Matt attempts to give himself up to the police but Fisk had, in the event of his death, set up documents for his legal team exposing Matt as Daredevil that implicated him in his murder. As such the police arrest Matt first and he instead comes off as a guilty man being caught.

Foggy defends Matt in court and various public heroes like Captain America and Reed Richards come forward as character witnesses.
