_________________________ From the Inside Dustflap:
In the dark corners of the Marvel Universe dwell those who protect the innocents the law has neglected and justice has forgotten. These
brave few fight the corrupt, the depraved and the common-criminal scum that plague the streets and threaten the lives ofever ydecent citizen. Known as the Marvel Knights, these heroes stand against dark forces both familiar...and supernatural:
DAREDEVIL: A Tragic accident stole his sight, but in return enhanced Matt Murdock's remaining senses far beyond human limits. By day, he works within the system as a lawyer; by night, he uses his superhuman talents to protect the downtrodden residents of New York City's notorious Hell's Kitchen.
ELEKTRA: She is the world's ultimate assassin, ruthless, efficient and trained to kill. Once she agrees to a contact, no man can escape the cold blade of her steel sai.
THE PUNISHER: When his entire family was murdered in the crossfire of a mob hit, Frank Castle died, too- his spirit hardened into the icy-cold one-man army known as the Punisher. If you're on the wrong side of the law, the Punisher will accept no excuses. For every criminal piece of trash who preys on innocents, he is judge, jury and executioner.
BLADE: Born half-man, half-vampire, the lethal weapon known only as Blade belongs to neither group. His only allegiance is to his own mission: to wipe the streets clean of every blood-sucking campire that walks the Earth.
GHOST RIDER: When Johnny Blaze made a deal with the devil, he found himself transformed into the blazing fury called Ghost Rider. As the Spirit of Vengeance, Blaze rides his fiery motorcycle against the unholy forces of supernatural evil.
