Maya then arranged with Captain America for her to stay in Japan and watch the Hand's activities, hoping to resolve the conflict between them and the Yakuza, and because she had discovered rumors that Elektra might currently be in power as the leader of the Hand. She fought alongside the New Avengers against them and arrested Madame Hydra. The Hand, however, had followed her and once they had finally caught up, attacked her and her teammates. Upon returning to the Avengers penthouse in Japan where she had met earlier with Captain America, she quickly explained to him and the New Avengers what she had learned. She respected Captain America's wishes by attempting to kill fewer of them, but in the end she was left with little choice. Maya, however, was unsuccessful in trying to leave the fortress undetected, and was pursued by many of the Hand's ninjas. It was in Japan that she infiltrated the Yashida Fortress, only to learn that the Hand and Hydra were now in a partnership, and were trying to influence Harada to join and lead them. Murdock provided her with the necessary information on the Hand, Yakuza, and Silver Samurai before meeting with Captain America in a café to receive further instructions. Maya assisted the New Avengers after being recommended and referred by Daredevil to Captain America, using the ninja identity of Ronin. He made no attempt to stop her from kissing him because he knew it was a goodbye kiss. She spoke with Matt again who said that he attended her first performance titled "Parts of a Hole" and that he would see "The Echo Story" with a friend. She went back to New York and began to perform in the theater using sign language, dance, and music. This ultimately motivated her to start telling stories just like her father did. When she got to her final vision about "two dogs fighting", he ended up telling her a story about it. Once she realized her mistake they talked and she shared some of the visions she received. On the fourth day of her "vision quest" during a thunderstorm she was startled by what she believed to be an animal spirit and briefly fought him. She went to the woods to fast and meditate to receive visions which she hoped would provide her with some answers on what to do next with her life.
After listening to his stories about her father, Maya decided to follow his suggestion and went on a "vision quest". She then left New York to go to her father's reservation and visited the Chief who was the old medicine man that she and her father would visit when she was younger. After months away, she returned to New York to reconcile with Matt, only to find he was already with another woman. Maya left the country to travel the world and rediscover herself, visiting the art museums wherever she went. They faced each other two more times, before Matt was finally able to explain himself, leading Maya to brutally shoot the Kingpin, blinding him in the process. Luckily there were a few kids watching the whole scene and she left, leading the children to believe it was all a play. She managed to subdue do him and pulled a gun to end him, revealing her reasons in the process. Matt recognized her scent and tried to pull his punches, not understanding why she was attacking him, but she was merciless. įocused on getting revenge, Maya watched videos of Bullseye and Daredevil fighting and faced him in combat, proving herself to be more than a match for the devil. First, he arranged for Matt to meet her, knowing Matt was lonely after the recent death of Karen Page, and then he tricked Maya, by convincing her that Daredevil was her father's killer. Echo įisk used her in one of his plots to destroy Matt Murdock, who he knew was the vigilante called Daredevil. Maya was then taken in by Fisk and placed in a school for kids with special needs, but after using her skill to duplicate a song from a piano recital, Kingpin enrolled her in school for the the gifted instead.
When she found her dying father, he reached out to her, leaving a bloody handprint on her face. As Kingpin was about to shoot him, he used his last words to ask that he take care of Maya. They were good friends, but, at one point, he outlived his purpose and Kingpin decided to gun him down.
Her father, William Lincoln, was a Native American of the Cheyenne Nation and secretly a mob enforcer working for the Kingpin. Maya Lopez was born deaf, but due to her incredible lip reading abilities, she wasn't diagnosed for a long time.
