The first season opened with Daredevil rushing into action, getting in way over his head. In fact, he would have died in a trash canister if not for Claire, who found him and nursed him back to health. That would have ended the Daredevil series rather quickly. As Claire told him, he needed to be more careful or he wouldn't save anyone.
One of the most critically acclaimed graphic novels of the '90s was Kingdom Come, an Elseworlds story that took place in the future where traditional superheroes faced irresponsible new heroes. What resulted was a war between superheroes that threatened to destroy the world. With Superman wanting to reform the Justice League to deal with its modern problems, he created a new prison where he held the most dangerous offenders.
