i feel like jack's dad "letting the devil out" meant abusing jack(/possibly his wife too) so jack went into boxing as a healthier way to "let the devil out" (though i did wonder, after watching matt's confession in the first episode again, if maybe jack had ever abused matt. it could possibly read as if matt had experienced jack "letting the devil out" personally) and now matt is "letting the devil out" by protecting his city. i think matt really needs his anger to serve people instead of harm them and that mindset could definitely be at least partially attributed to a history of abuse, whether his dad's or his own.
Re: Jack Murdock's father abusive?
