History:
(Daredevil I#191 (fb) - BTS) - Young Chuckie Jurgens grew up with his parents Hank and Liz in New York City. After seeing footage on television of Daredevil battling Bullseye, he became obsessed and watched the footage over and over, concerning his parents, and causing them to worry about his mental health. Hank grew violent with Chuckie at times, constantly yelling at him about his expectations and his son letting him down. His parents joined the Citizens Boycott for Morality. Whenever they tried taking Chuckie's video tape away, he cried until they gave it back. Hank's co-worker Sam Jutter accused Hank of embezzling money at work.

(Daredevil I#191) - Matt Murdock, an attorney representing Hank, came over for dinner one day and saw Chuckie watching the same fight. At dinner, Chuckie was distracted, and he claimed that sometimes he believed he was Daredevil. Although Charlie's stomach hurt, Hank made him finish his dinner. Days later at school, Chuckie was trying to force his friends to play as Bullseye and Black Widow so he could be Daredevil, when the actual Daredevil showed up. He let Chuckie ride on his back for a time as he jumped around the city, then took him back to school. Days later again, Matt Murdock went to question Sam Jutter, but he found Chuckie outside spying on Jutter, pretending to be Daredevil. Chuckie rode on the back of Jutter's car to Central Park, and he saw Jutter try to blackmail his dad. Hank drew a gun and threatened to kill Jutter, then Chuckie revealed himself, and Hank loudly ordered Chuckie to go home. Daredevil showed up then and got the gun away from Hank. Chuckie watched as Daredevil knocked out his father. Over the following week, Chuckie became even more obsessed with the Daredevil/Bullseye fight, and he muttered how if Daredevil hit his dad for being bad, then he must be bad too.

(Daredevil I#191 - BTS) - Murdock paid for Chuckie to go to psychotherapy, but eventually Hank was sentenced in a criminal trial.

(Daredevil I#191) - Chuckie snuck a gun to school and shot a bully, though the bully survived. Murdock wondered if Chuckie pictured himself as his father, as Daredevil, or as Bullseye.

Comments: Created by Frank Miller and Terry Austin.

Chuckie's real name is presumably Charles.
