The villain Vince Sterling posed as the soap opera/horror show character "Brother Brimstone", after killing Ross Archer, the actor who played Brother Brimstone on TV's "Strange Secrets."
Vince Sterling's name is derived from the names of two real-life TV hosts: Vincent Price and Rod Sterling.
Karen Page, the woman Daredevil loved, worked as a minor actress on "Strange Secrets," and it was during Daredevil's visit to Karen in California that he investigated the case when Archer was murdered.
