The newly released Daredevil: Born Again TV series continues to excite fans with notable action and intriguing characters. Serving as the sequel to the Netflix series, it brings back Matt Murdock aka Daredevil facing off against his old enemy Wilson Fisk.

Daredevil: Born Again explores how Matt and Wilson are forced to confront their past identities, leading to an inevitable showdown. While his enemy is thrust into gaining public attention and respect, Matt is dealing with an identity crisis.

As his journey begins, the vigilante pushes his limits and steps back into his iconic role. However, the series isn't just about Matt and his quest to take down formidable foes as it also introduced a few new characters including Hector Ayala aka White Tiger.

Played by actor Kamar de los Reyes, White Tiger recently met his end after winning a legal battle. It was Matt who saved him but little did anyone know that someone was coming to hunt him down on the streets.

Now that Hector Ayala is no more, does that mean it's the end of White Tiger? Well, not exactly as his niece Angela del Toro (Camila Rodriguez) has also debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Angela is devastated to learn about her uncle's murder and seeks answers from Matt. As seen in Episode 4 "Sic Semper Systema", Angela shows up at the morgue where the medical examiner and Matt Murdock are having a conversation.

Daredevil: Born Again Episode 3 "The Hollow of His Hand" introduced fans and viewers to Angela, who's expected to be more than just Hector Ayala's niece. While she briefly appears in the previous part, Episode 4 begins with Angela confronting the medical examiner at the morgue.

She is convinced that her uncle has been murdered unfairly and expresses her pain by saying she hates everyone who did dirty Hector. Angela says:

"I hate them Mr. Murdock. I hate this city. No one's doing anything about it... Cause he was just Hector from the Heights and they're the fu**** cops."

Matt consoles the young girl and tells her to believe that the killer will soon be revealed. Now that Hector is no more, someone has to own his amulet—the mystical object that granted him superhuman abilities.

Not to forget that Hector told Angela not to "rely on anyone" and now she has understood what he meant. The young girl wants justice an Hector's death might eventually make her the next hero.

As mentioned in the Marvel comics, it is Angela who takes on the mantle of White Tiger after taking Hector's amulet. Similarly, in Daredevil: Born Again, she keeps her uncle's belongings which hints that Angela del Toro will be the replacement of Hector.

While Daredevil: Born Again hasn't confirmed Angela is the fourth White Tiger, she'll likely become one. This will allow her to inherit superhuman abilities including enhanced strength, agility, reflexes, speed, and durability.

With Wilson Fisk back in the game along with Muse targeting his victims, Chaos will continue to dominate the city. However, Matt Murdock and his allies are also determined to take down these bad guys.
