Dex's Transformation

Season 3 introduced one of the most infamous Daredevil villains of all time in the form of the deadly, superhumanly accurate marksman Bullseye. The catch being that he's never actually referred to as "Bullseye" in the new season. Nor does he ever don the trademark black and white Bullseye costume.

However, Elektra was left out of Daredevil season 3, and it seemed her story was over once Netflix and Marvel stopped working together. With the Multiverse Saga in full swing, however, there is now a much greater chance that Elodie Yung's Elektra could return — in the MCU.

While they tried to kill Daredevil, Elektra jumped in the way, getting stabbed and killed. In her last breaths, Elektra felt like she finally did some good. Elektra was held a funeral, which only Matt Murdock and Stick attended, but her corpse was later taken by the Hand to be resurrected.

Stick appeared in the 2005 film Elektra portrayed by Terence Stamp, and in the first two seasons of the streaming television series Daredevil and the miniseries The Defenders (2017), set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), portrayed by Scott Glenn.

It was Stick who taught Murdock how to control his newly heightened senses and who guided him in mastering his so-called "radar sense," which resembled Stick's own "proximity sense." Stick also trained Murdock in methods of hand-to-hand combat.
