Darkdevil (Reilly Tyne) is asuperhero appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Created byTom DeFalco andPat Olliffe, the characterfirst appeared inSpider-Girl #2 (November1998).[1] Darkdevil primarily appears in theMarvel Comics 2 future of theMarvel Universe.[2][3]
Darkdevil debuted inSpider-Girl #2 (November1998), by writerTom DeFalco and artistPat Olliffe. He appeared in the 2000Darkdevil series, his first solocomic book series. He appeared in the 2005Last Hero Standing series.
Reilly Tyne is the son ofBen Reilly (Spider-Man's clone) and Elizabeth Tyne.[4] Before he reached his teens, his inherited powers began to manifest but brought with them clonal degeneration.Kaine, the degenerated first clone of Peter Parker, found him, and placed him within a regeneration tank to slow the process. Kaine attempts to use Reilly to resurrectDaredevil, but this causes part of Daredevil andZarathos' souls to enter Reilly, giving him a demonic appearance and abilities and aging him into a young adult. After learning to assume a human form, Reilly becomes an attorney and the superhero Darkdevil, taking after Daredevil.[5]
Darkdevil has fought alongsideSpider-Girl several times, as well as the semi-retired Spider-Man. Neither Spider-Man nor Spider-Girl are aware of his genetic relation to them, but Darkdevil has hinted that he owes his existence to the original Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Kaine.[6] Mary Jane noticed Reilly atNormie Osborn andBrenda Drago's wedding party and attempted to point out to her husband the boy that resembled him.Peter Parker cluelessly mentions that Reilly resemblesTobey Maguire,[7] a sly nod by writers to the fact that Maguire playedSpider-Man in four films.
When Doc Magus,Sorcerer Supreme (successor to Doctor Strange), delved into Darkdevil's mind, he found it had three inhabitants: Reilly himself as a young teen, Daredevil, and Zarathos in the form ofGhost Rider.[8]
Recently he has been seen working alongside Kaine, going as far as to refer to the man as Uncle Kaine, thus confirming that he is fully aware of his relation to both Kaine, Spider-Girl and her father Peter Parker. During a clone debacle which resulted in there being two May Parkers (one being asymbiote hybrid), Darkdevil assists Spider-Girl in her rescue attempt only to be confronted by the Goblin Queen and the clone Spider-Girl.[9] Darkdevil was also present with theNew Warriors andAmerican Dream battling Silvio Barraca/Silverback.[10]
After theSpider-Verse event, Darkdevil was later seen with the New Warriors (andUncle Ben/Spider-Man of Earth-3145) on helping Spider-Girl (now known as Spider-Woman) stoppingHope Pym/Red Queen and Entralla by freeing mind controlled A-Next. During the battle, Entralla's powers were ineffective against Darkdevil, due to his own demonic powers, and Mayday Parker/Spider-Woman is aware of her family relations with Reilly Tyne/Darkdevil, as she referred to him as"coz".[11]
Darkdevil possesses abilities similar to Spider-Man, including superhuman physical abilities, a healing factor, and a precognitive "Spider-Sense". Due to possessing part of Zarathos' soul, he is also able to generate fire and teleport.[12]
Darby Hart ofScreen Rant included Darkdevil in their "9 Best Daredevil Variants From Marvel Comics" list.[13]
