AND MEN SHALL CALL HIM... OX! Foggy is feeling the repercussions of an injury sustained when the Ox hit him back in issue six and Matt engages a doctor to look over him. The doctor orders Foggy to rest and so Karen takes him home from the Nelson Murdock offices. Ox, meanwhile is in jail, alongside Dr Karl Stragg, who promises to help him with his intellectual development if he breaks him out of the prison. Whilst Matt is exercising in the gym, the radio alerts him to the duo's escape, and he puts on his costume to go out looking for the escapees. Ox and Stragg head for Mr Fear's old haunt.

Stragg/Ox then makes off with Karen. The police arrest Daredevil but do not unmask him. Stragg returns to Mr Fear's laboratory with Karen, where Ox, as Stragg, remains. With his back turned, the enfeebled Ox takes down Stragg by knocking a large item of equipment into the back of his head. Ox and Karen make their escape. When Stragg recovers, he goes back out into the street to try to find the others but bumps into the police instead, who now realise that DD is innocent and release him from jail.The police inform Daredevil that Stragg/Ox is heading for a heliport and Matt...
