What classic villains, supporting characters or other heroes would you want to see in DD in the near future? What would you want to see the writers do with these characters if they show up?

I've said for a while that I'd love to see some of the Nocenti characters back. Specifically, Bullet and his son. While nuclear attack seems distant today, the idea of some big attack or end of the world isn't. Hell, maybe Lance could be a fan of the show Doomsday Preppers. I also wouldn't mind the Fatboys. Make all the kids slightly older (so teenagers or perhaps young adults to show what they've done with their lives).

I'm also always game for more Mr. Fear. If Daredevil's identity has been reset, I'd love for Lawrence Cranston's identity to be reset as well. Make him a rival lawyer for a while and only occasionally have Mr. Fear show up. Then let him get away (as he has a knack of doing).

I think my biggest thought is this: I love Frank Miller's Daredevil. But there is more to the character than that one run.

Completely off topic, but I keep writing "for awhile" and my spell check is correcting it to "for a while." Is that correct? Have I been writing it wrong my whole life?

Ben Urich and Dakota North.

Urich's presence has been sorely missed these past 5+ years.

I'd love for a writer to bring back Dakota and explore a real relationship between her and Matt. To me she was the perfect woman for Matt. Strong, intelligent, confidant, competent, great sense of humor, not afraid to stand up to anyone and believable when she actually demonstrated all of these qualities unlike a certain other character thats been shoved down our throats the last 5 years. She was one of the best things about Brubaker's run and there needed to be more resolution at least even if a relationship is not in the cards.

I would love to see Deathstalker return. I would also like to Sir come back, but I may be alone on that count.

I feel Milla has closure to any extent they could give her without killing her off. Any other status is likely to put her in greater harm's way because Daredevil can't have ex's for some reason.

As villains, I would love to see Bullet, Mister Fear (Cranston), the Purple Man or Deathstalker.

As supporting cast, I would love to see the fatboys, Becky Blake and Willie Lincoln.

I'd like to see Daredevil and Iron Fist have a story where they bang heads a bit. They've both ended up in a similar place from completely different backgrounds and philosophies.

I don't have a specific villain in mind but there is no reason why a writer couldn't take one and make them more. It's been done plenty of times in the past and seems to be a bit of a forgotten/ignored art in comics these days.

For supporting cast, I would like to see Jennifer Walters appear in some issues, just to show the similarities and differences in their legal style. They're the two biggest lawyers in the Marvel Universe. Let's see how they stack up.

Another character who I think could show up again and be interesting is Bushwacker. But here is the thing, there is difference between a villain just appearing and using that villain in a interesting way. Bendis used various members of DD's rogues gallery in his run, but most of them were throwaway villains.

I find Bushwacker tends to be written in two different ways, one as a carbon copy of Bullseye, but with a different gimmick and two as a religious nut who has a moral code that makes sense to him alone, I perfer the later characterization because it makes him more unique, rather then Bushwacker being yet another evil psychopathic hitman who likes killing people and that's it. The religious Bushwacker is more layered and I think makes for a more interesting contrast to Matt.
