Assassination of Ben Urich

"I'm not here to threaten you, I'm here to kill you!"

- Wilson Fisk

The Assassination of Ben Urich was an attack single-handedly directed by Wilson Fisk on the life of journalist Ben Urich.

Assassination
Ben Urich returned to his apartment and after pouring himself a drink began typing on the blog of exposing Wilson Fisk. Little did he know that Fisk himself was in his home and interrupted him. Despite Urich's orders for him to leave, Fisk apologized to Urich for underestimating him as a journalist but then revealed that he had someone at the Bulletin under his pay and started to mock Urich. Fisk asked if Urich was alone when questioning Wilson's mother Marlene Vistain, in which he replied that he was, not wanting to lead harm to Karen Page. Urich revealed that he was not intimidated as he had been in this situation before: Fisk answered that he was going to not threaten him, but kill him for getting Vistain involved.

Outraged, Fisk leapt up and took full advantage over his life. Urich managed to fight back, but his attack proved short-lived when the journalist was knocked down to the ground as Fisk strangulated the life out of him. Fisk left the room with a broken picture of Urich with his wife Doris next to Ben's lifeless body.

Aftermath
Matt Murdock, Karen Page, Ellison & Ben's widow Doris Urich attends Ben Urich's funeral. Page met Doris, who told her that she believed that she was the one who caused the death of Ben. Doris reassured her that Ben's decisions were his own and that even dead, he was taking care of her.
