10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Daredevil

10. Daredevil Has Never Killed

As far as Marvel's street-level heroes go, Matt Murdock is actually relatively tame. The Punisher kills every villain he encounters, and Moon Knight - despite originally starting out as a Batman analogue of sorts - is almost just as bad. This leaves the burden of moral responsibility to Matt Murdock, a paragon of Catholic guilt who never, ever kills.

Except, he has - and he does.

Although it's certainly true that Daredevil exercises a no-killing rule, several have perished via his influence. Back in 2010's Shadowland event, a story that saw Murdock possessed by a ghostly spirit known as 'The Beast', Matt stabbed and killed Bullseye in the exact same way the villain had killed Elektra. Yes, this wasn't technically Daredevil per se, but that's at least one blob of red in the character's ledger.

But what about those times where Matt has been in control of his own faculties? Well, back in Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada's Guardian Devil, a storyline that saw a dying Mysterio attempt to ruin Matt's life (a recurring theme in DD's comics), Matt pretty much just turns around and humiliates Mysterio into killing himself. Again, the villain was already dying, but the ethics are questionable at best.

Apart from those two instances, Murdock once threw Bullseye out of a window and broke the villain's neck, murdered Wilson Fisk in the climactic End of Days, and was even responsible for the creation of Typhoid Mary after accidentally throwing her through a window back in Miller's The Man Without Fear. Not a great record, it must be said.
