Daredevil has always been one of the most versatile characters in the Marvel Comics roster. Introduced as Stan Lee and Bill Everett’s “scarlet swashbuckler,” Matt Murdock has been everything from a wisecracking thrillseeker to a tortured avenger (and Avenger), even doing a stint as the demonically-possessed leader of a ninja cult — all while retaining a rich humanistic depth. As beloved as the 2015 Netflix series is, it only scratches the surface of Daredevil’s potential and comics canon.
