Today, Daredevil is one of the most recognisable figures of the superhero genre, with appearances across a wide variety of mediums having cemented him as a true A-lister, able to hold his own against the likes of Captain America, Spider-Man and Earth's other Mightiest Heroes both on the page and off it.
