100 days of enemy recs: 11. Matt Murderdock/D. A. Foggy Nelson
If you are somewhat aware of Marvel comics, you might be thinking, "Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson? They aren't enemies! They've been best friends since college and then they became adorable partners in a law firm where they defend the downtrodden!" Sure, sometimes they have differences of opinion or even fights, but at their worst you wouldn't call them enemies!
And that is true, most of the time. But a few universes over, Earth-65, the world where Gwen Stacy is the only spiderperson there has ever been, and Samantha Wilson is the only Captain America there has ever been, Foggy Nelson is a career D.A. - and Matt Murdock is the Kingpin.
(In the other Spider-Gwen verse - the one from the Into the Spiderverse movie - we don't know anything about Matt and Foggy, but it's otherwise so similar to Earth-65 that people write Murderock and his Foggy in and for the purpose of this pairing I am folding them both together.)
Earth-65 is the world with sharper contrast and higher saturation in the colors - and more shades of gray in the characters - which makes the Foggy of that world particularly interesting: Earth-65 lets you acknowledge that the DA isn't necessarily the good guy, or the bad guy either, and that Foggy starts already a few steps down the ladder of corruption, for all he is trying to stay clean - and you get to watch to see how far down he will go before Matt Murderdock meets him in the middle on his way up.
