Where Is NYC Avengers In "Daredevil: Born Again" With Kingpin As Mayor?

In Daredevil: Born Again, Wilson Fisk has done the unthinkable — he’s gone from criminal Kingpin to Mayor of New York City. But as he takes over the city and forces the Police Department into a gang to fight vigilantes fans are asking: where is everyone and where is the technology?

Bucky Barnes is a known NYC resident. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has eyes everywhere. The TVA monitors every timeline, yet no one steps in? Even more confusing: where is Stark tech? After all, Tony Stark once turned Manhattan into a tech fortress with E.D.I.T.H. drones, AI security, and Avengers surveillance. Now? It's like the city hit a factory reset.

The most baffling absentee? Doctor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme once opened portals across the multiverse, trapped Loki in a looping fall, and guarded reality from total collapse. But now, while Fisk turns NYC into a fascist playground, Strange — who lives in Manhattan — is apparently too busy to notice? It doesn’t add up.

Spider-Man, meanwhile, swung through the same streets in No Way Home but now seems erased from memory. But Strange’s silence? That’s the head-scratcher. He’s not just in the city — he’s a cosmic force who once babysat the Time Stone. Yet he’s ignoring a mob boss in a mayor’s chair?

The MCU has spent over a decade turning NYC into the epicenter of global superhero activity — but suddenly, when a known villain legally seizes power, it’s just Matt Murdock in a hoodie versus the system? No cameos, no intel leaks, no SHIELD or Wakandan intervention?

Marvel may be aiming for grounded, street-level storytelling again — but it’s hard to ignore the glaring absence of any response from the world’s most connected heroes. In a city that once hosted alien invasions it’s tough to believe Kingpin’s rise wouldn’t raise at least one mystic eyebrow.
