10 Most Brutal Daredevil Battles In Marvel History

8. Echo - Daredevil #11

Daredevil Vs Kingpin
Marvel Comics

Just like her sometimes lover and foe, Maya Lopez became a dangerous combatant while having a disability - namely deafness. She possesses "photographic reflexes" (similar to Taskmaster's) and she has used this to master various skills, most notably martial arts.

In the past, Echo has learned Bullseye's accuracy and Daredevil's acrobatics in addition to her own training.

This made her Kingpin's perfect weapon against the Man Without Fear. He manipulated Matt (who was grieving the death of Karen Page at the time) into meeting Maya, and the two fell for each other. Fisk then convinced Lopez that Daredevil was the man behind her father's death, and she wasted no time in attacking the vigilante.

Initially, neither combatant knew the other's actual identity, and their fight reflected this, with Echo easily keeping up with Daredevil. However, Matt was able to recognize his paramour's scent and this made him hold back, giving Maya the upper hand and leading to her mercilessly beating him.
