My beloved Luke Cage is a significant supporting player in this arc. Black Panther became the Man Without Fear. Needing soul-searching of his own, he took Daredevil's place as the protector of Hell's Kitchen. The war was won, but it was at the cost of the Vibranium itself. Meanwhile, T'Challa ceded the throne as well as the title of Black Panther to his sister, Shuri, after fighting a war with Doctor Doom and Latveria for Wakanda's Vibranium supply.

Things don't go as expected, and Daredevil finds himself corrupted by the dark forces within the Hand, namely the demonic entity known only as the Beast. In a desperate bid to keep the Hand from tearing apart New York, Matt Murdock accepted an offer to become the leader of the clandestine organization. The twist here was that Daredevil was the main antagonist. Shadowland was a story that focused more on the street-level heroes of Marvel: the likes of Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Misty Knight, Shang Chi, etc. Another major shift for the story of the Black Panther came after the Marvel miniseries, Shadowland.
