History:
(Daredevil Annual V#1 (fb) - BTS) - Detective Carmen Torres married another detective, Jorge, and they had a daughter, Sofia. Jorge was killed during a fight between Daredevil and Bullseye, by a piece of thrown metal. Carmen raised her daughter, with the help of Sofia's Abuela, and tried hard to keep her idealistic view of super heroes.

(Daredevil Annual V#1) - After telling Sofia a bedtime story about super heroes and then leaving her with Abuela, Torres went out on patrol with Knight. The body of Bart Cooper dropped on their car and Knight went to investigate, finding the criminals “Frankie Fear” Paura and Nicky Scarpe on the rooftops in an altercation with Daredevil, but both criminals escaped. Back at the station, Torres and Knight questioned Turk Barrett, who'd been arrested, and they found out that Scarpe was seeking a chemist to create a synthetic Mutant Growth Hormone. They began questioning Cooper's loved ones, including Professor Ayala and his former girlfriend Robin Hawkins. Daredevil tried giving Torres and Knight tips, but they had already tracked down Scarpe on their own. As the police honed in on Scarpe and Fear, a police chemist realized that the serum Scarpe was using would eventually detonate, killing him. Torres and Knight found Scarpe, who had mutated into a monstrous form, and he savagely attacked, hurting Torres before the others contained him. Torres woke up in the hospital with Abuela visiting her, while Knight stayed to watch Sofia.

After Scarpe injected the serum, Frankie Fear threw Cooper out of the building, killing him.

(Daredevi Annual V#1) - As Paura and Fear prepared to run, Daredevil and cop Misty Knight attacked. Scarpe fled, having developed temporary powers (powerful jumping) while Frankie followed him. Later, as Scarpe's powers wore off, he ordered Frankie to find him another student. They found Robin Hawkins, threatening to pay her if she made the serum, and to kill her mother if she didn't. Scarpe took the serum that Robin finished and it mutated him into a monstrous form, and he attacked the police when he arrived, harming Carmen Torres and destroying property before Daredevil and Misty Knight trapped him in a cryogenic unit.
