Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: 9 Villains That Should Appear

8. Mister Fear

There aren't many Marvel villains out there who you could make out to be a carbon copy of a DC creation, but Mister Fear might come close.

Created by Stan Lee and Wally Wood in 1965, the original Mister Fear creates a fear gas that, unsurprisingly, makes everyone's worst nightmare come to life. The version that would make the most sense for the upcoming season would, however, be Larry Cranston - a former classmate of Murdock's law school days and later antagonist in Ed Brubaker's critically revered stint on the character.

This, more sinister looking fearsome foe really had it in for Murdock, going as so far as to frame his then wife, Milla Donovan, for murder. The act drove Milla insane, and would result in the collapse of Murdock's marriage, so yeah, he's not a nice guy, really.

A more unlikely pick for a live action appearance, admittedly, but one that should surely be considered nonetheless.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
