8 Comic Villains Humiliated By Daredevil
5. The Fixer And His Goons
The origin of Daredevil has been told several times over the decades, but never has Matt Murdock's story been told better than by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr. with their phenomenal The Man Without Fear in 1993.
As has been detailed in the years since that release, Miller wanted to deliver "the Daredevil bible" with The Man Without Fear - and in that mission, Frank clearly succeeded.
In terms of villains left embarrassed in this five-parter, the most notable of many are the Fixer and his scumbag cohorts who carried out the murder of Matt Murdock's father, Battlin' Jack.
Having begun honing his skills under the learning tree of Stick, Matt embarks on a roaring rampage of revenge against those who killed his old man. This pre-Daredevil Murdock takes down his targets in a brutally efficient way, yet the embarrassment comes for these slimeballs and thugs at realising that the person laying a beating on them is a supposedly weak and feeble blind teenage orphan.
No age is specified for Matt during these crunching acts of vengeance, but it's implied that he'd be 15 or 16 years of age, as we'd later jump ahead in time to Murdock's college years as he began to truly move towards becoming the Daredevil we all know and love.
