Fans of "Daredevil" got an eye opening first look at blind superhero's upcoming Netflix series.


Marvel wowed the New York Comic Con crowd Saturday night, unveiled four clips from its top-secret 13-episode drama -- with black-suited security guards in night-vision goggles patrolling the aisles of the Jacob K. Javits Center auditorium to foil any would be leakers in the crowd.


What the 2,500 in the room witnessed included a five-minute fight sequence, in which a fledgling Daredevil ("Boardwalk Empire's" Charlie Cox) with a costume "that's still a work in progress," dispatches an assassin out to kill Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll).


It's definitely more intense than Marvel's first foray into live action television, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I always approach it as there are no heroes and there are no villains, just people making different choices," said showrunner Stephen S. DeKnight ("Angel, "Sparacus: War of the Damned) of the gritty tone of the 13-episode series.


Another clip showed Vincent D'Onofrio, whose shaved head and 6-foot-5 bulk make him look like his Wilson Fisk was torn out of the pages of a "Daredevil" Comic.


"Our Fisk is he's a child and he's a monster," says Every move that he makes and everything tht he does in our story comes from his foundation of morality inside himself."

Rosario Dawson's role was also finally revealed - the "Sin City" actress will be playing the Night Nurse, a character from the comics.


"Daredevil" is one of four live-action series coming to Netflix that feature some of Marvel's most popular superheroes. The series will be followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage," who will all come together as a team in a "Defenders" miniseries.


"The Defenders" borrows a page from Marvel's successful movie strategy, which kicked off with stand-alone "Iron Man," "Captain America" and "Thor" movies, and then combined them in 2012 blockbuster "The Avengers."
