10 Marvel Superheroes With Tortured Pasts

10. Daredevil

If life for the boy from Hell's Kitchen wasn't bad enough to start with, things somehow got even worse when a truck carrying radioactive goo spilled all over him, leaving him blind. That alone would've been bad enough if that was all that happened to the future Daredevil but, unfortunately for him, life wasn't done making his existence a misery.

When his Dad, Jack Murdock, refused to throw a fight, the local mob was out for blood. Murdering him and leaving little Matt an orphan, this act should've broken the boy but it didn't deter him and he would go on to become a successful lawyer.

So it all works out in the end, right? Well... not so much. Tragedy continued to haunt him like a cheap Scooby-Doo villain resulting in, amongst other things, his on again off again girlfriend Karen Page developing a heroin addiction and then later on being murdered by one of his arch nemesis, Bullseye.

These are just two examples of the utter cluster bomb that is Matt Murdock's life - and let's not get into whatever that thing is he has going on with Elektra.
