Another arc and we have another mastermind. Anyone want to guess who this new mastermind is?

Here is a good theory from another board:

Quentin Beck.

Wasn't Beck dead (not that this is irrevocable, in the MU)? I didn't like him as a DD villain, much ado about nothing and he's waay too a second rate baddie...

I'll think that suggestions elsewhere of both Mr. Fear and the Purple man are likely choices... not to forget how manipulative did the Ringmaster get in the "playing to the camera" story.

Another Villain, though not related to DD, (though his daughter Martinique made a brief appearance in the series), which can manipulate minds is Jason Wyngarde, a.k.a. Mastermind... hey, if he could drive the mighty Phoenix to the edge, he shouldn't have much trouble with Potter... Wyngarde is dead according to Marvel continuity, but since death seems to take a holiday every then and now in the MU... well, who knows: and again, he's left children behind him.

As for other candidates,and since Brubaker seemed to hint that it was an old and much forgotten foe, what about the Masked Marauder? He turned out to be Nelson and Murdock's landlord... maybe he seeks revenge against Matt and Foggy regarding some unpaid rent?

My favorite choice would definitely be Ringmaster. I love the fit between his ~ability and Matt's ~disability.

Second would be MindWave. Razz

Third is Purple Man.

I would love for it to be the Deathstalker. Maybe he's changed again since he came back from the dead this time. He already changed once when he transformed from the Exterminator. Maybe in his new form he can take people over.

What about the latest Mysterio, Francis Klum? Besides having acquired Beck's gadgets, he was a teleporter, and had also the peculiarity of being able to mind control people, by "teleporting" thoughts in their minds.
Still, not an old villain.

Death's Head just came to my mind.

I know the character is supposedly dead (but with all those skrulls around..., LOL), and has no know Psychic powers. But his connection with a character who was very relevant to Daredevil, scientific background and his possible reasons plot against Murdock strike me as interesting to keep in mind (he could just hire the services of a Psychic, couldn't he?).

I like the Mr. Fear argument the best, based on all the fear hints Bru seems to be dropping.
Plus, doesn't it seem like Melvin's worst fear has been realized, that he is a monster. Maybe Mr. Fear has developed his powers to a new level, to actually understand a person's innermost fears and manipulate them into becoming reality.

I'd bet my cat that it is Mr. Hyde behind all this.

I'm bettin' on Owl. Because you just can't get rid of him.

The Message Board is currently in read-only mode, as the software is now out of date. Several features and pages have been removed. If/When I get time I intend to re-launch the board with updated software.
