March 4 was a special day. It's the day that Daredevil: Born Again debuted on Disney+, with Marvel Studios (under its Marvel Television division) bringing back Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio superhero morality play seven years after its untimely end and 10 years after it first began. For some in my profession, it's about scouring the news, searching for theories, and putting it out there for you to indulge in. 

But for me, it all began with an omelette - Kingpin style.

I have written before about my fascination with Vincent D'Onofrio's proclivity for omelettes - and the making of it - as seen once in each season of Netflix's Daredevil. While the character and the actor have never, to my knowledge, stated the explicit reason for this deliberate action, I enjoy that it leaves open theories that it's everything about the character - or nothing at all - as food can be. But now, mere hours before Daredevil: Born Again season 1 debuts, I am Kingpin.

At least when it comes to omelettes.

This wasn't some deliberate plan thought out weeks/months/years in anticipation of this day - it was a matter of function, and in that liminal state between waking up and going to work, eggs sounded good. And then I remembered Daredevil: Born Again. Then I remembered Kingpin's propensity for omelettes. At the end of this mind train, I began deliberating how the Kingpin prepared his omelette, so I revisited all three scenes from all three seasons of Daredevil and learned that there's no one Kingpin omelette recipe - besides the use of eggs, of course. But even then, it's not always the same type of egg; and the other ingredients are varied as well.

That's where I learned something deeper about D'Onofrio's Kingpin - it's not about the preciseness of the ingredients or inflexibility to adapt to situations; it's about having a formal, dedicated process you can do despite the availability of ingredients, the situation he's in (he once had them made in prison!), or in his mindset. In some ways, he's open to the inevitability to change, and him having to change as a result, while still carrying the same principles - and approach to cooking - despite those varied circumstances.

So with that thought through, I used - not even settled - for what I had from making pizza the night before. Some Roma tomatoes, a few cremini mushrooms, and various spices I forgot as soon as I used them. The result was... okay... but led me to appreciate Kingpin's cooking procedures even more.

Perhaps I should do this again every Tuesday as the next Daredevil: Born Again episode comes out.
