Daredevil Message Board

[Mike Murdock]

I've been thinking about this for awhile, but I was inspired by reading Daredevil: Redemption. This article from The Other Murdock Papers has fortuitous timing as well.

In a floating timeline, the passage of time is almost irrelevant. Matt Murdock was in his late 20s, early 30s in the 1960s and is only a little older now. Spider-Man has apparently aged even less (going from High School to College and that was about it). But, nevertheless, Daredevil is portrayed as older than he was when he started. In Redemption, they looked back in time seven years from the Bendis era to find Matt still in his red Daredevil costume, establishing at least seven years of him as a superhero.

So I thought I'd ask this thought experiment. Suppose we take events that can only happen once a year and assume that's the minimal time that has past for Matt Murdock. How many years would have passed? As that link shows, we have three years of Christmas from Nocenti (actually, four years with the flashback issue Of Crowns and Horns). It's possible some of these can be reconciled to be the same year, but that's roughly four. We also have one Christmas during Born Again and apparently one more recently from Volume 3. In addition to this, there's the Christmas party that Micah Synn showed up to and, before that, there's a New Years party (195ish) where Heather Glenn drunkenly revealed that Matt Murdock is Daredevil (but, under the rules of this, it's possible to assume the New Years Party began the year that ended with A Micah Synn Christmas). Finally, I remember the Typhoid Mary storyline having a Fourth of July story.

So I thought I would pool the collective knowledge of Daredevil fans. Can anyone remember other holidays or events that can only happen once a year that have appeared in Daredevil?
