8 Great Characters Marvel And DC's TV Shows Have Completely Screwed Up

5. Ben Urich

Daredevil was such a fantastic series that I feel almost guilty bringing up a character from the Netflix drama here, but there's no denying that reporter Ben Urich could and should have been handled much better. His death may have come as a shock, but it was tremendous waste of a great character who never met his true potential; the show never even got around to touching on his relationship with Matt Murdock and Daredevil. Comic book fans will be well aware that he sat on the secret that they were one and the same for years, often working closely with Daredevil to help him in his battles against the likes of The Kingpin and Elektra. While the series did a good job of showing off what a great reporter he was, it still never really delved into what makes him such a special character and frustratingly killed Ben off before that ever become a real possibility.
