  Typhoid Mary (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typhoid Mary is an enemy and former lover of Daredevil with psionic powers, including telekinesis.
Her "Mary" personality is a timid, quiet, pacifist; her "Typhoid" personality is adventurous, lustful, and violent; and her "Bloody Mary" persona is brutal, sadistic, and hates all men.
Through hypnosis, the abnormal and psychotic personalities (Mary: the pathological victim, Typhoid: the adventurous sociopath, and Bloody Mary: the homicidal psychopath) were suppressed from Mary Walker's consciousness, and she began to lead a normal life, even becoming a soap opera star.

 Untitled Document
A sociopath with a multiple personality disorder, Mary used her magnetic sexuality to devastating effect, causing at least as much damage as her blades ever could.
Some comic book readers have called creator Frank Miller a misogynist for his depiction of women as murderers and whores, but another explanation might be that he has an earnest understanding of the sexual power women can exert over men, and like many noir writers, he expresses this through the character of the femme fatale.
P'Gell is the classic femme fatale, and Typhoid Mary one of the most original and most fearsome, but when it comes to female sexuality in comic books, Asgard's Amora is the model which has served comics for generations, even to the present day.

Shooter loved comics, understood them pretty well, and the basic structural storytelling principles he imposed on them were very sound, but he was so damn maniacal about imposing them he forgot, in the process, that great individual artists and storytellers rise out of breaking the form, breaking the rules in interesting ways.
The Typhoid miniseries is where I did the actual story of the prostitute killings case, whereas Jezebel's Virtue was more a "day in the life of a prostitute" tale, that used a killing as a springboard and went off in a different direction.
Jezebel was inspired by some of the girls I interviewed, and the stories they told me. As for the Typhoid miniseries, that got made because Marie Javins and her assistant Polly liked the character, wanted a story, and suggested John Van Fleet once I pitched a noirish type crime tale.

The same with Typhoid Mary -- she was never involved with the Hand in the comics.
In the comics, it was never really revealed why Stick was blind or white for that matter -- but he was basically the mentor of Daredevil, and since he was blind he had developed his "proximity sense" or radar, which he was able to 'teach' to Daredevil.
I can't remember them ever explaining Typhoid Mary's "origin", if you will, but I just know that she never really had any ties to The Hand, and I think they just threw her in to keep up with the comic book "world" of Elektra.
