"We're gonna make a difference. I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes, but we are."

- Foggy Nelson to Matt Murdock

Franklin "Foggy" Nelson is a fellow lawyer and the best friend of Matt Murdock.

Early Life
When Nelson was a young boy growing up in Hell's Kitchen, he heard about another boy named Matt Murdock, who had been blinded in an accident where he had tried to save an old man. Although Nelson had dreams of becoming a lawyer, his mother was desperate for him to become a butcher instead, he often suspected she simply liked the idea of free ham.

Meeting Matt Murdock
Years later, Nelson got into law school, shortly after he arrived he met his new roommate Matt Murdock, Nelson remembered Murdock from the news story many years previously and called him a hero. The pair struck up an immediate friendship that would last their entire lives, Nelson often teasing Murdock about his blindness while Murdock would tease Nelson about many of his poor life choices, such as he decision to join a course studying Punjabi simply to get close to a girl.

After graduating, the pair got work as Interns for a large corporate company called Landman and Zack, during this time Nelson had a brief sexual relationship with his co-worker Marci Stahl. Eventually both Nelson and Murdock were offered jobs with the company, although Nelson was highly enthusiastic about the idea, Murdock did not like the thought of working for such a large soulless company, and convinced Nelson that they should instead create their own firm. Nelson agreed so they refused the offer and set about building Nelson and Murdock.
