John Healy

"That's not a client. It's a shark in a skin suit."

- Foggy Nelson about John Healy

John Healy was an assassin from Hell's Kitchen hired by Wilson Fisk. He committed suicide after revealing Wilson Fisk's name to Daredevil.

Assignment
John Healy was hired by Wilson Fisk to kill Prohaszka; he went to Turk Barrett to obtain a gun. Healy expressed his uncertainty, as he felt the guns were not up to standard, noting that he prefered revolvers as there was no chance of them jamming, Barrett however gave the guns his seal of approval and promised that it would not jam since it was fresh from the crate.

Bowling Alley
"I want a lawyer."

- John Healy

Healy went to a bowling alley where Prohaszka was playing. Asking him if he could play with him, Healy was refused and attacked his bodyguards, causing them to flee. Healy then attempted to shoot Prohaszka but the gun jammed; Healy fought Prohaszka, breaking his arm before killing him by smashing his face with a bowling ball. The police were called by the attendant; Healy quickly hid the gun before they arrived. He then surrendered and asked for a lawyer.

Hung Jury
"You have quite the legal vocabulary, Mr. Healy; am I correct to assume that this is not your first rodeo?"

- Foggy Nelson

In the jailhouse, Healy was interviewed by Foggy Nelson and claimed he simply wanted to go bowling but was attacked by Prohaszka and his men. Nelson realized that Healy knew legal procedure due to his fast answers and confident nature. Nelson tried to refuse to represent Healy, but Matt Murdock entered and told Healy that they would take his case of self-defense. In court, Healy was first defended by Nelson and then Murdock; Healy noted that before Murdock gave his closing argument, Murdock paused for a long time. Nelson had to assure him that Murdock knew what he was doing. Murdock then proceeded to give a long speech determining that the jury did not have enough evidence to convict Healy. The jurors returned with a hung jury, setting Healy free. As the result was being read out, Healy turned to Murdock and complimented him on his impressive speech.

Suicide
"I gave up his name. You don't do that, not to him."

- John Healy

That night, Healy fought a masked man who wanted to know who was Healy's employer. The two fought violently with Healy trying to push the man's face through a piece of metal. Healy used anything he could as a weapon from a pipe to a piece of glass, but the masked man ultimately pinned him and threatened to send a piece of glass through his face. When asked who his employer was, Healy admitted that it was Wilson Fisk. Healy told the masked man that his life was now forfeited as well as the lives of all he held dear. Healy then rammed his own head through a piece of metal, killing himself.
