10 Daredevil Moments That Shocked The World

Daredevil seems to have the worst luck when it comes to shocking events surrounding him - or the best luck, depending on how much you enjoy seeing the Man Without Fear suffer. Matt Murdock's life is volatile in every aspect - his work, his superhero career, and his love life - and this more often than not leads to moments where all three go wrong, and create a uniquely awful - and uniquely fascinating - scenario.

For a man whose entire life is metaphorically an endless series of car crashes, Murdock manages to always make the best of a bad situation, leading just as many fans to be invested in seeing just how Daredevil will react to all the wild events that happen to him just as much as fans invest in seeing the weird and wild events themselves.

With a history that makes being possessed by demons, becoming Doctor Doom, and paralysing his arch-enemy look like just another day in the office, it can at least never be said that Daredevil is a boring superhero - just that he might want to consider a therapy session (or five).

For a guy with the world devil literally in his name, Daredevil really doesn't turn evil as often as many other superheroes have - which actually makes it all the more interesting when he does, because it tends to be for far longer, and to far more dramatic effect.

A prime example of this would have to be in the Shadowland series, which saw the Man Without Fear become possessed by an evil spirit named the Beast of the Hand, which naturally turned Daredevil into a villainous version of himself - complete with a Venom-esque costume change.

This storyline would see Daredevil turn on his friends, before eventually being saved by Iron Fist and his chi-bending sorcery. In one final shocking twist, fully escaping The Beast's clutches requires Murdock to off himself - although naturally, his death lasts all of a spectacular nine pages.
