Synopsis for "Guts"
Foggy begins to investigate why Heather's company is making bombs and this causes him to run up against both Eric Slaughter and the Kingpin; No problem for Nelson and his partner Turk; DD is caught in an explosion that messes up his radar sense.
A supreme comic relief issue---klutzy Foggy only takes the case to keep the even more reckless Heather Glenn from investigating the case herself. He quickly finds himself captive in Slaughter's headquarters, with hitmen complaining t hey had to carry a heavy guy across town.
The lights go out,Daredevil sneaks in and knocks out everybody but Slaughter. The lights go on. Foggy is quick to take credit for the victory. Turk, a witness looking for any kind of work,quickly decides--"I'm working for THIS guy!"
Turk brings Foggy to t he Kingpin's penthouse,knowing Fisk still needs a top assassin to replace Elektra. Kingpin takes one look at Foggy and is somehow skeptical that he is a master assassin.
He is busy supervising a radium heist at one of the piers, using the bombs provided by Glenn Industries. Daredevil arrives to break up the heist, though not without damage to his super-sensitive hearing.
Daredevil concludes by getting on the two-way radio and telling Fisk--"Don't mess with Guts Nelson" The nonplussed Kingpin lets Foggy leave unharmed.
Foggy eventuallyditches Turk by ducking out of an airplane just before takeoff and smilingly watches Turk leave for Chicago alone.
