10 Most Inappropriate Daredevil Storylines Ever

7. Daredevil Craves Child Murder

Daredevil Black Widow 2
Marvel Comics

You'd be forgiven for immediately attempting to repress the fact that Daredevil did once genuinely attempt to murder a newborn child, but that doesn't change the fact that it canonically did happen.

In one of Mysterio's patented wierd-as-possible schemes, the villain artificially inseminates a woman, waits until she gives the baby to Daredevil, and then disguises himself as a priest to convince the hero that the baby is the Antichrist and must be killed.

Weirder yet, this plan works, with Daredevil even fighting Black Widow to be able to kill the infant. While at this point Mysterio has drugged Matt to confuse his morals, any situation where you are fighting one of the people you trust most for the rights to brutally kill a kid is very clearly wrong.

He comes to his senses just in time to rescue the baby - but only the second time, meaning that Daredevil, hero to the people, does throw a baby off a rooftop twice before he considers how doing so might be a little off.
