15 Reasons Why Daredevil is the Greatest Superhero of All Time

1. He Loses

When you read a Daredevil story, you may notice that they're often-times small victories. Matt Murdock has learned, through the loss of the most important people around him, to the loss of his eyesight, to the loss of some of his law cases, to the loss of a normal life, that it's the small victories that keep you going. Through the pain, he's managed to find a reaffirmed faith in both his friends and in his religion. It's this reason why he is able to move on and forgive himself. Matt Murdock realizes his humanity. Constantly. Too many things have been taken from him, too many times has he gone through the ringer, and too many times has he lived in a darkness that greatly surpasses that of his blindness. But Murdock is also a character who understands that even though he may never rid all of Hell's Kitchen of evil and corruption, even though he may not be able to save every person there is to save, and even though he may ultimately meet death by accepting these impossible responsibilities, that it's not enough to keep him from being the man his father hoped he'd become. Always seeking justice, humble, and good-hearted, Matthew Murdock is one of the finest examples of a hero in all of comic book history. And you'd never be able to convince him of it.
