The son of a retired circus acrobat and small-time champion boxer, Boston Murdock was no stranger to death, having lived in it's shadow since the day he was born.



When he was only 3 months old, Boston's mother's postpartum madness drove her to attack him and his brother Cleveland, only the intervention of their father was able to save them. At age 12 he narrowly escaped being struck by a truck transporting toxic materials. When he was 15 years old, death claimed his father, who had been shot for not throwing a match, this loss left a scar on bot Boston and his Brother.



This fickle relationship with the reaper led Boston to grow up bold and fearless. Although he initially pursued a Law degree, he soon realised the daily grind and dull life of a Lawyer was not for him, and instead chose to follow in his mother's footsteps and become a circus acrobat. Thanks to his natural athletic prowess and utter lack of fear Boston quickly became a fan-favourite--even outselling the famous trick-biker Blaze Allen. Boston earned the name "Daredevil" for his high-flying, death-defying feats during his performance.



A mere 3 years into his career however, Death finally came for Boston Murdock, not by way of a failed maneuver but at the hands of an amatuer assassin auditioning to join the Assassins Hand. After years of laughing in the face of death, Boston Murdock was snuffed out like a light.



Brought back from the dead by Rama Kushna, a goddess tasked with overseeing the cosmic balance of Karma, Boston was given the chance to take vengeance on his killer. In return for his vengeance, Boston was given responsibility of righting wrongs and being Rama Kushna's agent on earth.



When acting in the mortal realm, however, Boston is a reduced to a disembodied spirit with powers to match. Boston is invisible to everyone except for those able to see and communicate with spirits, and cannot interact physically with the world around him. Boston can, however, possess the bodies of the living, controlling those beings and even granting them his exceptional acrobatic talent and fighting skills. He has become a ghost, he has become Deaddevil!



Allies: In addition to fighting solo as an agent of Rama Kushna, Deaddevil has fought a war on the Assassins Hand alongside such heroes as Dragon Fist, Misty Spencer, Catsai, and Dare. His status as a supernatural being and defender against the paranormal has also led him into contact with fellow supernatural heroes such as Pete Constantine, Madame Xale, Sleep-Devil, and even former rival / friend Blaze Allen, the Speed Demon. When the world became threatened by a great supernatural danger, Deaddevil joined with these and several other paranormal vigilante's to form the Judgement League Dark . Boston has also began a relationship with the sorceress Madame Xale (how that works I still don't get...)



Family: Bostons father was a small-time but skilled boxer "Battling Jack Murdock," and his mother was Barbara Brand-Murdock, a retired circus acrobat.

Boston also has a twin, Cleveland 'Foggy' Murdock. After Bostons death, Cleveland--also a skilled acrobat--took up the role of Daredevil.

When Boston was only a baby, his mother had severe postpartum disorder that lead her to violent outbursts. After she attempted to kill her sons, she disappeared and became a nun. After Bostons death, he found her and forgave her, she is now a good friend and ally he can always turn to.

His father Jack always pushed his sons to learn and succeed in school, hoping that they would have a better adult life than he did, he was killed when Boston and Cleveland were only 15 after refusing to throw a fight. Boston encountered him in the afterlife once, and thanked him for making him the man he was.

After the death of their parents, Boston and Cleveland were sent to an orphanage run by nuns... that's all I got there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When he was a member of the Quentin Carnival, he made many close relationships with his fellow performers, including Blaze Allen (Speed Demon), Blob, Miss Miracle, and puck.



Slade Murdock: Although they are not related in any way (despite what their mutual surname may imply.) Boston and Slade's lives were entwined even before their respective heroic careers. Slades father was a failed boxer who infrequently encountered Battling Jack; When Boston escaped being struck by a truck, it was Slade who pushed him out of the way and got drenched in toxic waste in his place; Slade was a fellow student during Boston's short tenure in Law-school; and after Bostons death, they both had a serious bone-to-pick with the Assassins Hand.



Assassins Hand: The Assassins Hand is an ancient and massive collective of deadly individuals, assassins who both work for hire and to the inscrubalous ends of their mysterious leader. A skilled warrior known only as "Hook" was a prospective member, tasked to kill a man in a full of people and get away without being seen as his 'initiation.' The man he killed was Boston Murdock. Note that the Assassins Hand has not connection to Ra's A-Pocalypse and Lady Deathstrike.
