Maggie is the mother of Matt Murdock, the vigilante known as Daredevil, and Mike. She and Jack had their twin sons when they were a young couple. However, Maggie soon began suffering from postpartum depression, becoming very emotional for no reason, having doubts, feeling constantly anxious regarding Matt's safety, thoughts which soon developed into self-loathing, and feeling estranged to everyone, as she considered herself to be a bad mother. She couldn't trust herself to be around Matt or Jack. Her depression became a paranoia. She began thinking that Jack was plotting against her, and that Matt was there to tear them apart. One night, under the influence of her mental illness, Maggie tried to assault the baby. Jack stopped her, Maggie became emotional and she actually hugged her husband and she doesn't know what to do with her illness that she brought to the family. As soon as she came to her senses, She finally realized that she needed to leave for her husband's and her sons' sakes, she packed her bags and she ran away in shame. She was taken in by a church, and took the name of Margaret. With the help of doctors and counseling, she recovered from her depression. She never came back to the Murdock residence so she can protect her family from herself.
