He often seems to lack any social awareness or a desire for a human connection.
Nevertheless,Frank begrudgingly exposes a slight hint of humanityby showing up when Matt needs him most.
Small moments like this put the hero in Punishers Anti-Hero archetype.
Accepting Franks help shows just how vulnerable Matt is in this situation.
One interesting trend inDaredevil: Born Againis that Matt is usuallyonly vulnerable around Frank.
Season 1 of the MCU show ended with a bang.
Despite constantly fighting one another, the two vigilantes sometimes take a breather to help each other.
Their appearance echoesDaredevil/The Punisher: Seventh Seal.
However,Daredevil: No Fearlikely inspired the apartment scene in Episode 9.
