About Mike being Daredevil/The Man in the Mask - I think it happens earlier for him than it would have for Matt of the TV show time-line for exactly those reasons. I don't think he needed a defining moment that makes him decide to do it - it just happens organically. He'd been helping people all along. It was Matt who needed one because he'd been living that normal life and wanted to believe in the law and the system. So, later, the moment that would've been his in the TV show - Mike just ends up doing it without much fanfare. Maybe he didn't even give Social Services a chance to fail. Matt just hears that the problem is taken care of...
As to how he gets the name Daredevil and the costume... Maybe it happens in a similar way it did for Matt in the show, only it's Mike sort of working with Matt and Foggy to take down Fisk. (Though, he does a lot independently... Maybe they even have that scene in the alley where the Man in the Mask gives them the info on Leland Owlsley that they'd related to Karen in episode 13 - only this time it really happened. LOL) Anyway, without the Fisk thing, I'm not sure how Melvin would get involved to make the costume, so... *shrugs*
