Kraven throws DD off of a cliff to his death but the hornhead disappears before he strikes bottom. DD finds himself in an elaborate underwater domain inhabited by Moondragon. She accuses him of being a thrall of Thanos and then tells him her origin to let him know what this means. Touching DD's mind, Moondragon discovers that she has been lied to and that Daredevil is one of the good guys. The real villain appears as none other than Kerwin J. Broderick, Matt's law partner and he gloats as he unleashes Terrex on the world.
