Re: who's Mike and what has he done?

NJ is New Jersey. That was a House reference, because House takes place "at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey," according to Wikipedia. New Jersey extends up west across the Hudson River from New York City, which is why I said "over in."

I'm really not familiar with much more than Kirby/Lee comics, myself.

Here's some more Wikipedia to explain my whole Donald Blake wanderings: "Thor's father Odin decides his son needed to be taught humility and consequently places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake. After becoming a doctor and on vacation in Norway, Blake witnesses the arrival of an alien scouting party. Blake flees from the aliens into a cave. After discovering Thor's hammer Mjolnir (disguised as a walking stick) and striking it against a rock, he transforms into the thunder god."

Unlike Bruce Banner/Hulk, though, Thor fairly easily (and happily) switches between one persona and the other, depending upon which is needed at the time.

In both cases, Marvel decided to off the "normal" persona in favor of the obvious (but one-note) superhero side. Which is partly why I tend to stick to Kirby and Lee.

All of which has nothing to do with Matt apparently running the longest practical joke EVER on Foggy (and others) by pretending to be his own identical twin, "Mike." Which I've actually not read about, since I only know Daredevil through the screen, as well!
