Fan Casting Stilt-Man in Joe Carnahan's Daredevil: The Man Without Fear

Wilbur Day was an engineer at a small firm on Long Island when the company developed a telescoping hydraulic ram. Before the firm could begin producing it commercially, Day, dissatisfied with his position in the company, stole the designs and the prototype. He then adapted the ram into a pair of stilts, which he built into a suit of armor he'd been working on at home in his spare time. Dubbing himself the Stilt-Man, he began a criminal career in New York City proper. His first few outings put him into conflict with the vigilante Daredevil, who defeated him and left him for the police. While Day was in prison, a small-time criminal named Turk stole the Stilt-Man suit, but proved utterly incompetent at using it. Day provided the authorities with information on how to disable the suit by destabilizing the internal gyroscopes. Released on an early parole due to his assistance in stopping Turk, Day improved upon the suit's design, adapting the hydraulic rams to extend from his forearms, enabling him to punch harder and at a greater distance. He also adapted the gyroscopes so that he could not be defeated the same way. He then teamed with the costumed criminal Leapfrog in a second-story crime wave, before both were again defeated by Daredevil. Day was among the criminals who were involved in the massive breakout from Ryker's Island, which was led by the Rhino. Since then, he hasn't yet made a reappearance, although the authorities believe it is only a matter of time.
