Line 4:
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: Massively subverted. Matt refuses to represent anyone who is guilty and he can always tell.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type II, turns into Type IV or V during the ''Shadowland'' event.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Works as a lawyer by day.
Line 23:
* [[Disability Superpower]]
* [[Fighting Irish]]: Matt is Irish-American and definitely one of Marvel's tougher heroes. Which is not to say he enjoys inflicting violence at all.
* [[Fire -Forged Friends]]: One of his closest (and probably only) friends is Spider-man.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Is an accomplished lawyer who can also hold his own in a fight against a good portion of the MU.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]
* [[Hell -Bent for Leather]]: In the movie anyway, his costume is basically a modified biker gettup.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Matt often faces against enemies who are a lot more powerful and capable of incredible damage, physically and personally. He even refuses to defend guilty clients, which is why his law firm is usually broke.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]
Line 60:
=== [[Elektra]] ===
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]: A definite Type IV.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Not always, but she has her moments of this.
* [[Badass]]
Line 82:
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]
* [[Killed Off for Real]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: You sold your ex-boyfriends [[Secret Identity]] to his [[Arch Enemy]] for a drug fix, thats what you did.
* [[Stuffed in The Fridge]]: The second of Matt's girlfriends to be killed by Bullseye.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Bullseye was aiming for Daredevils' mom (didn't ''know'' it was her, but didn't care either). For once, he isn't bother that he missed.
Line 88:
=== [[Black Widow (Comic Book)|Black Widow]] (Natasha Romanoff) ===
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti -Hero]]
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
Line 103:
=== Echo / Ronin (Maya Lopez) ===
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Briefly. She was pitted against Daredevil by the Kingpin, but had no idea that she was working for a criminal (or at least, how bad a criminal he was) and mistakenly believed that Daredevil killed her father. A solid [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Villains|Type 4.]]
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Like Typhoid Mary, she dates Matt Murdock while trying to kill Daredevil. Unlike her, she only does so because she was tricked.
* [[Deceptive Legacy]]: The Kingpin murdered her father, but honoured the dying man's wish that he take care of her and raise her as his own. [[Manipulative Bastard|Then he told her that Daredevil killed her father.]]
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: While Matt Murdock is blind, Echo is deaf.
* [[Multiethnic Name]]
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]] / [[Laser -Guided Karma]]: Once she finds out what ''really'' happened to her father, she responds by putting a bullet between Kingpin's eyes. He survives, but was blinded, just like Matt, except without the super-senses.
* [[Photographic Memory]]
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: Deaf, part-Hispanic, part-Native American.
Line 138:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Sometimes. His reaction to the [[Never Found the Body]] trope is "[[Oh Crap]]".
* [[ItsIt's Personal]]: Both Fisk and Murdock can go to pretty extreme lengths to get at each other. Both have went out of their way to ruin each others businesses, several times. Fisk has set Matt up with girlfriends who were secretly assassins after Daredevil; Matt made Fisk miss his own wifes funeral; Fisk has Matt's friends beaten up; Matt beats up Fisk...it goes on. On at least two occasions Kingpin was on the verge of getting his old empire back, and Matt stopped him by ''taking it for himself''. Both were [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moments- he did it mainly just to screw Fisk over.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: 6'7 and 400lbs of pure muscle.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: When Spidey, Daredevil and other heroes had their first fights with him, what surprised them most was how damn ''fast'' he was.
Line 146:
* [[Revenge By Proxy]]: The Aunt May example, but he's went after Matt by attacking Foggy Nelson before, and through his girlfriends and other associates.
* [[Rogues Gallery Transplant]]: Perhaps the most successful example of this trope. Started out as an A-list [[Spider Man]] villain, then was promoted to Daredevil's [[Arch Enemy]].
* [[Self -Made Man]]
* [[The Syndicate]]
* [[Villainous Valor]]: Can be generally counted on to keep his word; genuinelly cares for his own family; sees his enemies in [[Worthy Opponent]] terms ([[Depending On the Writer|sometimes]]) and will treat his underlings with respect so long as they [[You Have Failed Me|don't fail]] or betray him.
Line 158:
* [[Badass Normal]]: He is at the absolute peak of human physicality and possesses astonishing skill with weapons but has no real powers.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Previously.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Currently, now with a bonus [[Department of Redundancy Department|bullseye]] that was once [[Tattooed Crook|tattooed]] but is now [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|scarred]] onto his forehead.
* [[Brooklyn Rage]]
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: He had tremendous potential as an athlete and Baseball player due to his expert marksmanship but his psycopathic nature came out and he killed a player. He actually does make a lot of money as an assassin but he never spends any of it (He believes he may have more money than Norman Osborn from his jobs).
Line 179:
'''Bullseye''': Yes, until I was fourteen. <br />
'''Psychologist''': Hmmm. I see. And what happened then.<br />
'''Bullseye''': (kills psychologist with [[Improbable Weapon User|a voice recorder]]) [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|I killed him.]] }}
* [[Slasher Smile]]
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: He's done some stuffing in his time. Running tally of hero's girlfriends gruesomely murdered: {{spoiler|Daredevil - 2 (Elektra and Karen Page) The Sentry - 1 (Lindy Reynolds)}}
Line 193:
=== Typhoid Mary ===
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Anti -Villain]]: Is sympathetic when you consider she really is criminally insane and her Mary Walker persona is actually a good person who has to deal with two evil personas.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Matt does this with a lot of his female villains
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: The Bloody Mary persona
Line 209:
 
=== Mr Fear (Larry Cranston) ===
* [[ItsIt's Personal]]- His motive is revenge against Matt Murdock everything else is irrelevant to him.
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]
 
Line 228:
* [[Mind Rape]]: Lots of people, but what he did to his wife and Jessica Jones stands out.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Subverted. Learning he has a daughter seems to have made him worse, since he thinks she'll love him if he can conquer the world.
* [[Not -So -Harmless Villain]]: Writers have turned from a camp, one note bad guy to a full-fledged ''[[Complete Monster]]''.
* [[Oh Crap]]: In the first ''New Avengers'' arc, Purple Man appears and intends to use his powers to make Luke Cage attack the other assembled heroes. He also makes obvious threats toward Jessica Jones and her and Cage's unborn child. Cage then informs the unaware villain that his food contained special drugs designed to negate his powers. Purple Man has a look of sheer terror before Cage moves in on him.
* [[Psychic Assisted Suicide]]: Many times, most horrifically when he ordered thirty-odd innocent bystanders at a Denny's to stop breathing so he could enjoy his eggs in peace.
