Synopsis for "The Sight Stealer"
A panic has broken out in an area of Manhattan where people are inexplicably becoming blind. Meanwhile, Daredevil speaks with Glorianna O'Breen after discovering her identity as the Old Woman of Beare and chasing her down after The Gael killed numerous members of the IRA at a Brooklyn pub.[1] She insists that she was only helping get them out of the country and was not otherwise involved with their criminal activities. Daredevil returns to Delahanty's Grill after his fight with The Gael to retrieve him but discovers that he is gone.
Daredevil crosses the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan to go speak with Black Widow because of her knowledge of the international espionage scene in order to ascertain if Glorianna is on the up and up. He encounters the outbreak of blindness afflicting the area and discovers the Widow being unceremoniously tossed into the East River, from which he retrieves her, mostly unharmed but herself stricken by the blindness. She tells him about the Cossack and his acquisition of a device that causes an electric misfire in the brain that triggers blindness over radar transmission. He later hears a news report of the Cossack demanding payment by the city or he would cause death to rain down and Natasha suggests that he is a dangerous man but doesn't know exactly what his intentions are.
He goes to Glorianna's apartment and discovers she has left and discovers her plans to take a flight to escape from The Gael so he heads to the airport to find her. Meanwhile, the Cossack and his henchmen are infiltrating the same airport with a plan to use its radar capabilities to transmit blindness signals across much of the city. Glorianna is confronted by The Gael at the airport but he is stricken blind after the Cossack carries out his plan. Chaos ensues but Daredevil, being unaffected by the attack, is able to disable the Cossack and his cronies. He deals with The Gael and then returns to Natasha's apartment where she reveals that her eyesight has returned.
