Early Years
Franklin Percy "Foggy" Nelson was born in 1980 and raised in New York City. Growing up, Nelson had always dreamt of becoming a lawyer, despite his parents' content hopes for him to live a simple life, with his own caring and overly concerned mother even jokingly considering that he should become a butcher like them instead. Years later shortly after his college years, Nelson got into Columbia University law school. He eventually befriended and became the best of friends with his roommate Matt Murdock, a blind fellow aspiring lawyer just like him then and now. When Matt began dating Elektra Natchios, Foggy was disapproving because he thought she was dangerous, which turned out to be true (but for reasons he didn't expect) when Matt had almost ruined his progress in law school.
Avocado at Law
Finally becoming successful lawyers together after graduating Colombia University, he then co-founded the law firm Nelson and Murdock with his best friend and worked on cases with a passion for getting justice for the innocent including Karen Page, who eventually became both their close friend and colleague at the standing firm, among many others. Despite experiencing many hardships and trials with his complicated best friend, Nelson remained loyal to Matt himself even after discovering that Murdock had been living a secret life as a masked vigilante known as the Daredevil, the nightly Guardian of Hell's Kitchen. The revelation enabled the two to have a better means of investigating the identity of the Kingpin of Crime, eventually bringing him behind bars. Although Fisk would eventually break free from prison and used everything at his disposal to convince the public to clear his name or at least downplay his crimes, Nelson and Murdock would never give up in finding ways to irreversibly expose Fisk, as well as dealing with bringing other criminals who were just as if not more dangerous than the Kingpin to justice.
However, the revelation continued to have an impact on the reputation of Nelson and Murdock as Nelson became more frustrated with his friend as Murdock's double life began to interfere with their impactful case defending Frank Castle, the extremist vigilante known as the Punisher. Eventually, Nelson decided to leave their law firm after its unfortunate collapse due to insufficient funds and accepted the job offer given to him by his on-and-off girlfriend, Marci Stahl, at Hogarth, Chao, and Benowitz due to Nelson's performance with the Castle case being deemed as the "Trial of the Century" in New York in spite of Castle sabotaging his own case, at least the first time in decades before Ultimate War. However, that change in his career hasn't torn down Foggy and Matt's lasting friendship, but has instead unexpectedly strengthened and solidified as time passes while Foggy's reputation would grow into popularity for being a strong supporter for superhuman's rights.

Trivia
- Around the late 2020s, Foggy was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a type of cancer that formed in his hip. Fortunately for him, Foggy has been declared cancer-free after years of treatment (among other patients) funded by Danny Rand and support from his loved ones.
- Foggy's snoring was compared to a human foghorn since he was twelve years old, hence his closest friends had given him the nickname which he eventually embraced growing up.
- Foggy and Matt had a running gag by calling themselves "avocados" as a mistranslation to abogado, which translates to Spanish as lawyer or attorney.
- While it used to be go-to neckwear during his years in law school, Foggy grew to avoid wearing bowties and has always preferred neckties unless an occasion necessitates him to wear the former, cringing at his old photos on how it made him look "comical."
- Foggy is a long-time fan of the Hell's Kitchen Hellions.
