8 Worst Things Daredevil Has Ever Done

2. All The Times He Killed Someone

Daredevil isn't as renowned for his 'no-killing' rule as, say, the Dark Knight is, but he does view it as a line to avoid crossing (unless Frank Miller is involved).

The eponymous Man Without Fear kills dozens in Miller's book of the same name, although he was still finding his identity as a vigilante at that point. Then there was the death of Bullseye, who Daredevil murdered when he was possessed by that aforementioned ninja spirit, The Fixer (who'd killed his father, Battlin' Jack) died of a heart attack after an exhaustive chase, and countless other Marvel heroes in various 'What If?' stories.

Although retconned to become Typhoid Mary's origin, The Man Without Fear also accidentally forced a prostitute out of a window after taking down a brothel (can you believe this, too, was a Frank Miller tale?). Mary then returned as a mentally unstable assassin drawn to and against Daredevil during Ann Nocenti's brilliant run on the character, and while she became one of the hero's most memorable villains, Daredevil's role in her origin can't be forgotten.

It's not unforgivable, but the next time he and Punisher cross wits, Frank would be wise to point towards Daredevil's many, many, past offences...
