Marvel Studios is known for including hidden references to its comic books in its shows and movies. This is especially noticeable in Daredevil: Born Again, which draws heavily from popular comic storylines. The first episode of Season 2 hints that a tragic death from the comics might happen again within the MCU.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again begins six months after the events of Season 1. The premiere focuses on showing viewers what life is like for the main characters now. We see that Dr. Heather Glenn (Margarita Levieva) is doing well in her career, having been appointed Mental Health Czar of New York City by Wilson Fisk. However, she’s struggling personally after breaking up with Matt Murdock.
Dr. Glenn began experiencing hallucinations, believing the villain Muse was nearby. This happened after Muse almost killed her in the first season of Daredevil: Born Again. To cope with these visions and the stress of secretly manipulating a psychiatric evaluation for the District Attorney and Kingpin, she started drinking at work. Her deteriorating mental state and increasing alcohol consumption suggest a tragic fate for Dr. Glenn, mirroring the storyline of Heather Glenn in the Daredevil comics.
How Heather Glenn died in Daredevil comics
The Heather Glenn from the comics is quite different from the one appearing in the Daredevil: Born Again series. In the original comics, Heather was a wealthy socialite who fell for Matt Murdock. Their relationship took a turn when Matt, as Daredevil, revealed that Heather’s father was involved in criminal activity. Even after Matt proved the Purple Man had been manipulating Heather’s father, she continued to intensely dislike Daredevil.
Heather eventually found out that Matt Murdock was actually the superhero Daredevil. Despite this revelation, they attempted to continue their relationship, but it had become deeply unhealthy. Concerned friends of Matt tried to break them up by sending fake breakup letters. This only caused Heather to rely on alcohol more heavily to deal with her pain. Sadly, she died by suicide in Daredevil #220, after a heartbreaking phone call to Matt where she pleaded for his help.
In Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, Dr. Heather Glenn is struggling with stress and increasingly relying on alcohol to deal with it. This pattern is expected to continue throughout the season, and it’s unclear whether she’ll be able to avoid the tragic fate of her character in the comic books.
