Daredevil Is Trash

In this series I take a look at some of the worst superheroes in comic book history. Actually, every superhero in comic book history. Just to prove that any superhero can be trash. After all, trash is in the eye of the beholder. In this issue I'm going to look at Daredevil. Matt Murdoch is a lawyer who was blinded as a child. In return he received heightened senses and radar vision. While his father was away he trained himself to be a fighter. Grew up became a lawyer, trained some more. When his father died for not fixing a boxing match he became Daredevil.

Reasons why Daredevil is Trash: 

1. He's the poor version of Batman. Dead father, mother is a nun and rarely appears. He seeks to clean up the streets that killed his dad. 
2. He's blind, but can see with radar vision and all his other senses are heightened. He's basically got a super power.
3. Stilt Man, Masked Marauder, The Jester, Leap Frog and the Masked Matador? His villains are probably worse than he is.
4. He's crazy, not heroic. He's just crazy which is why he always thinks he's right
5. His comics are just downers. Is there ever a happy moment? Even Batman smiles
6. Black Panther did his job better than him
7. He's a better villain than hero
8. Every woman he loves dies. Why do all the women have to die for Matt to be pitied?
9. Every person he cares about suffers more than a Spider-Man supporting character
10. Hawkeye is deaf and doesn't need to remind everyone for sympathy
11. He cheated on his wife
12. Threw Typhoid Mary out a window. She was just regular Mary before not even evil
13. That movie sucked, don't argue
14. He's a pretty crappy lawyer
15. Does he ever really save anyone
16. He uses his blindness to hit on women until they feel bad they just give in
17. Or he just stalks and sexually harasses them
18. Consistently has stupid costumes
19. He treats all of his friends badly and just expects them to be okay with it
20. He's a chronic liar. Not just to protect his identity but because it's fun to him or something

There's 20 reasons why Daredevil sucks. Leave a comment telling me who your favorite comic book character is. I guarantee I can find 20 reasons why they're trash.
