The fit take place early on in the picture show in brief after Peter receive his wanderer - powers and resolve to cash in on them by wrestlingthe vicious Bone Saw McGrawfor money . As Peter await his twist , he see one of McGraw ’s late victim – a hapless masked wrestler in a yellow and red costume wailing,“Oh god , I ca n’t feel my legs!”as he ’s haul off in a stretcher . On cheeseparing inspection , the wrestler ’s mask sports a pair of horns . But in the novelisation of the motion picture , longtimeSpider - Manwriter Peter David identify the grappler as Matt Murdock ’s father Jack Murdock . In the comics , Jack is a past - his - prime boxer who had to take on any line just to provide for his family . One of these jobs had him dress up in a red “ devil ” costume , making him the first “ Daredevil ” in the Marvel Universe ( and one of the inspirations behind Matt ’s later costumed personal identity ) .
In Raimi ’s version , Jack apparently had to take on some wrestling jobs to make money for Matt ’s teaching . He ’s also dressed in an extremely gauche , former version ofMatt ’s chicken Daredevil rig . Although his cameo was very brief in the movie , the novelization had an extra scene where Jack is taken hostage in a robbery only to be saved by Spider - Man . Excited , Jack call up his son to evidence him about the “ daredevil ” that saved him . Curiously , since Matt Murdock only take on hisDaredevil identityafter his father was murdered , this mean that Matt became temerarious after Peter debuted as Spider - Man . Matt ’s age when his don died has vary in the strip and Netflix TV show , sometimes in law schooling , others while Matt was in his former teens . This could make the Raimi version of Matt Murdock / temerarious untried than Peter Parker , unlike the comic books whereMatt was already an established lawyerand vigilante when he first encountered a high shoal aged Spider - Man .
Thanks to these fun cameos , audiences can excogitate about the amazing adventuresSpider - Manhad in between his movies – with all - new version of the Fantastic Four , Doctor Strange , andDaredevil . With rumors of the Raimi flick being referenced inSam Raimi’sDoctor foreign and the Multiverse of Madness , perhaps it ’s not too later to desire these risky venture get some mention ?
