Who Is Buck Cashman in Daredevil: Born Again & Marvel Comics?

In the seventh episode of “Daredevil: Born Again,” entitled “Art for Art’s Sake,” a character named Buck Cashman, played by Arty Froushan, plays a significant role. Viewers are curious to learn more about his character within the series and in the Marvel Comics universe.

The Disney+ series essentially brings back and expands upon the character Daredevil, previously seen on Netflix from 2015 to 2018. A significant aspect of this new production lies in exploring the contrasts and shared traits between Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. The character Buck is a key figure within Fisk’s circle, contributing significantly to the unfolding storyline.

Who is Buck Cashman in Daredevil: Born Again?

Buck serves as one of Fisk’s most trusted allies in the Daredevil: Born Again series, much like Toby Leonard Moore’s character, James Wesley, was during the initial season of the Netflix series. In Episode 7, he appears to be a calm influence on Fisk when he learns that Daredevil has reemerged. He even suggests that Daredevil’s return could potentially be beneficial as the vigilante is now targeting the serial killer Muse.

In this episode, it seems like Fisk suggests that he had Buck accompany him, having known him from the shady side of New York City during his time as mayor. As Buck recalls, Fisk had mentioned before that he valued Buck for his unique way of thinking, referring to it as “thinking ‘off-center’.” Towards the end, we see a hint of what this unconventional thought process might look like when Buck takes out Luca in self-defense after Luca attempts to shoot Fisk.

How is Daredevil: Born Again’s Buck Cashman different from Marvel comics?

In Marvel Comics lore, a character named Buck goes by the name “Bullet.” He operates secretly on behalf of the U.S. government and frequently takes on mercenary tasks while wearing a mask. It’s speculated that his character in Daredevil: Born Again may have a military past, though this hasn’t been confirmed in the series yet. In the comic books, Bullet is one of Daredevil’s rogues, but he doesn’t share as strong a connection with Kingpin as portrayed in the show.
