![]() This time, they meet up when She-Hulk travels to San Francisco to get some advice from Daredevil about how to handle the fallout from a recent case involving Doctor Doom. Are they flirting, or is this just friendly banter? Either way, it shows us that their relationship is fun.Īfter interacting in a single panel in 2005, it would be 9 years before Matt and Jen would talk in a comic again. Matt playfully challenges her to prove that in court. In this comic, Matt and Jen are seen walking out of a courthouse together, and Jen teases Matt, reminding him that he promised to buy her a drink if she won her case. House of M was published in 2005, meaning that it took until 2005 for Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters to say a word to each other on panel. Let’s break down each of these interactions, and what they reveal about their relationship. That’s right, despite being two superhero lawyers that both operate in New York City, She-Hulk and Daredevil have only been seen directly interacting in 9 comics. Once again, the two of them don’t interact. Another example would be Fantastic Four #569, where they are sitting next to each other during Ben Grimm’s wedding to Debbie Green. It’s funny how often these two characters were thrown together without having a conversation. However, the meeting would’ve occurred off-panel since neither character is shown interacting during Contest of Champions. Contest of Champions (1982) was the first time Daredevil and She-Hulk both participated in one of those giant superhero brawls, so we could assume that this is when they first met, unless they knew each other in legal circles. Most of She-Hulk and Daredevil's appearances together happened during big superhero gatherings like The Infinity War (1992). Matt Murdock discusses one of Jen’s clients with his law partner Foggy Nelson, but leaves before the superhero action starts. Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters are at the same courthouse, but they’re each doing different things. Marvel Team-Up #107 (1981) is the first comic to feature both characters, but they never exchange dialogue. Of the remaining 58 issues, 49 of those comics feature She-Hulk and Daredevil in the same room without interacting. For example, though Daredevil shows up in Fantastic Four #281 (1985) during a time when She-Hulk was on the team, the book has Daredevil fighting alongside the other members of the team while Jen is occupied elsewhere. Of the 105 comics that they appeared together in, 47 issues never have them sharing a scene. That number might seem big, but things got weirder once I broke the numbers down further. The resultsįrom November 1979 though September 2022, Jennifer Walters and Matt Murdock have appeared in the same comic 105 times. Then I looked through every single issue to catalogue what kind of interactions they had. After days of doing this, I now had a full list of every comic book that featured She-Hulk and Daredevil together. Once I made the list of all their appearances, I cross-referenced each entry, putting the matches onto a third list which was titled ‘Matt and Jen.’ As you can imagine that took a long time, since Daredevil and She-Hulk have been quite busy, but it was a labor of love. This list focuses on the 616 versions of Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters. This meant no What-If stories, random alternate realities, or cartoon episodes. To make this a feasible project I kept this list focused on mainstream continuity appearances. I started with November 1979 (the month Savage She-Hulk #1 was published) and ended with September 2022. First I looked through multiple appearance lists for each character across multiple indexes, building them into a comprehensive appearance list. How I got the resultsīefore I tell you my results, I’ll tell you how I did it. Here at Popverse, we’re bigtime nerds and we live for niche investigations like this. That’s right, I went through decades of comics to track every time She-Hulk and Daredevil have met. Only the craziest of geeks would attempt something like that. This got me thinking – how often have Daredevil and She-Hulk teamed up in the comics, and what is their relationship like? Some of you might think it’s impossible and time-consuming to go through decades of comics to find every instance of two characters interacting. It’s going to be fun to see Marvel’s two lawyer superheroes onscreen together. The clip released during the D23 Expo has only raised our excitement. Ever since we learned that Charlie Cox would be reprising his role as Matt Murdock on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, people have eagerly been checking in each week anxious to see if Daredevil has shown up yet.
