Daredevil vs. Spiderman
Sometimes the supposedly good is pitted against the good to make life interesting in the comic world. This was done many times with Batman vs. Superman and the Hulk vs. The Fantastic Four's Rock. What did you think about this toon?
Brief Description:
Cool plot line. Even to this day Spiderman and Daredevil, though tentative allies, have issues with each other. Spiderman and Daredevil have similar fighting styles, with DD having the heightened sense and SM having spider sense. The fights they had were usually pretty evenly matched. Technically, they are both vigilantes, so I wasn't sure why DD was portraited as the villain.
I believe ( but can't back this up with facts) that the usage of Daredevil as a 'possible' villain in the Spider-Man / Daredevil storylines may have had something to do with the treatment in the comics that was underway. During Frank Millers early run as scripter of Daredevil, the gritty darker side of New York was highlighted and the ongoing battles against crime and corruption were aimed at dealing with the Underworld element, moreso than with "super villains in tights". The Daredevil comics focused chiefly on combatting the Organized Crime element, mainly personified by the organization of Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. It basically came down to a battle over who was going to be the Big Dog in town...and Daredevil would do anything to make sure it was not the Kingpin.
Several years later, Marvel Comics has made Daredevil the...... Scourge of the New York underworld. He has declared himself the Protector of Hells Kitchen, and by doing so, makes sure that no Mafioso or Underworld figures ( such as the Maggia, Hammerhead, Silvermane or their ilk ) can run large scale criminal operations on "His Turf". In many ways this sets Daredevil apart from the 'traditional' superhero, in that he now tends to operate on both sides of the law.......simply for the protection of the poor and impoverished of New York City. Thats easy enough reason to have the average (comicworld) citizen view Daredevil as something of a threat himself.
I think Spidey could take out DD anytime cause he has web, sight and whats that thiung called where he can sense things going to happen?
JenLuvsMp3 has a good point about the web that could essentially bind Dare Devil and then Spiderman could clobber him to oblivion. Reaction time for Spidey I think is faster too. The Devil can't climb walls either, another disadvantage.
I appreciate Spiderman's abilities but I don't get DareDevil's too much. He is a bit too powerful for a blind person. I know he has the radar deal but still. Its like comparing an eagle with a bat. Its obvious which one is better.
The daredevil is more then just radar he can sense the body and reactions to the environment. Does give one the edge in one on one. I do not think this would speed up the response time of his reactions other then he can see the other person getting ready to fight and move.
To me his is just a well trained martial artists with a cool baton. His lack of ethics when taking out a bad guy is also and edge on other heroes. He will kill were others would not.
Spider man at the beginning would not have beaten him due to the lack of combat discipline but now he is in a league above DD.
