The arc runs through Daredevil #32#35.
“Hey Red”:Frank Castle trots out his classic nickname for Daredevil.
“Inspector Gadget bullshit”:The Punisher prefers guns to Daredevil’s more specialized crimefighting tools.
He is, of course, referring here to the classic cartoon series, which launched in 1983.

The show ran for five seasons and was later adapted into a couple of live action movies.
“It’s not dark.
It’s like a thousand suns.”

Shortly after Matt talks about his past, Kingpin rehashes his feud with Daredevil to his assistant Buck.
Buck Cashman:Speaking of Buck, this is the episode where he finally steps out of the shadows.
So far we’ve only really seen him as a shifty minor politician.
Bastian Cooper:This episode reveals that Muse is, in fact, one of Heather Glenn’s patients.
This is quite the divergence from the comics, where Muse’s real identity was never revealed.
“Anybody who wears a mask is a coward.
Will she feel the same way after the events of this episode?
Muse’s death:Guess that’s it for Muse, then!
The character is shot dead by Heather Glenn.

Where’s Kamala?:Ms.

Could that be a hint that she’s visitingKate Bishop, perhaps?
The robbers masks:This is a fun, if slightly weird, one.
The bank robbers all have different colored masks: yellow, blue, green, red, and purple.
Now what else has those colors in the MCU?
But do you know whatisorange in this episode?
The diamond that the robbers are trying to steal…
“On your knees Stevie Wonder.
“One of the robbers says this when Matt first infiltrates the bank.
“Exactly what kind of Lawyer are you?
“I was raised in an orphanage.
Red hood:Matt wears one of the robbers' balaclavas later in the episode.
It’s red, recalling the color of his own Daredevil mask.
White Tiger’s amulet:The previous episode ended with the assassination of Hector Ayala AKA White Tiger.

So is this a reference to his father?Possibly.
There’s a billboard for Rogers: The Musical, as seen in Hawkeye.
Or a man who dresses in a spider outfit.
Or a guy who wears devil horns.”
These are very clearly references to the Punisher, Spider-Man, and Daredevil.
As in the show he is a New York District Attorney.
White Tiger’s mystical amulets: Matt makes a passing reference to White Tiger having “mystical amulets”.
In the comics, Kirsten is an assistant District Attorney who suspects that Matt Murdock is Daredevil.
Over time their relationship becomes romantic and the two start dating.
Fisk’s breakfast:Kingpin is a man of routine.
“He supposedly crushed a guy’s head!
Kingpin references Echo:Matt and Wilson sit down for a catch up.
