>>1727107Now that /y/ is back, it's safe to post, I think? Anyway, Matt and Lester! I'm not entirely sure where to start here since it's a hard thing to define over so many years of comics. I guess a lot of people see it as Lester assaulting Matt and Matt being the victim, turning into a bucket of angst because his girlfriends are deaaaad, but that's kind of just half of it. Matt has actually damaged Lester right back, it just doesn't show in the same way. Matt really does scare Lester sometimes, he's given him lasting fears of being crippled and he really did carve that scar into his face. Lester has actually been terrified into submission just from Matt threatening and challenging him. So, I really wouldn't say power is swayed too strongly towards either of them, though Lester is undeniably the pursuer.
There have been some compromising moments in canon, though. Matt has more or less bared his soul in front of Bullseye when he was crippled, Lester has claimed how he wants to 'own' Matt, made pitcher/catcher jokes about the two of them, back in the old comics before Dead Girlfriends when Daredevil really cheerful like Spidey, he would call Lester handsome/sweetheart/no joking. Then there was an arc where Lester pretended to be Daredevil, in attempt to ruin his name, and Matt decided to play fair and dress as Bullseye to fight him. At this point, they were both a little mentally compromised (Matt just came off from the standard comic book dose of amnesia and Lester was... well, Lester is always a little mentally compromised) so they began mixing together who they really were, revealing their thoughts about each other -- Lester, as Daredevil, saved Matt, because he believes Daredevil will never let him die, and he admitted that Bullseye could never kill Daredevil either. The attached image is part of that.
