DAREDEVIL:THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR
By Stan Lee and Wallace Wood (for the majority)
VOL. 1
Wow. Another great book. However, this one's a comic.
Daredevil has a relatively decent backstory, good villains, and plot twists. Whether he fights The Owl, the Purple Man, or the Fellowship of Fear, Daredevil is certain to be two things; One, a great superhero. Two -- blind. Yes, Daredevil is none other than blind attorney Matthew Murdock. But that doesn't stop him from being one of Marvel's greatest superheroes.
As a kid, he wasn't blind, and was pleaded to work in his books by his father, a prizefighter.
"You'll be someone someday. .someone famous! A lawyer, or doctor, not an uneducated pug like me." So he followed his father's advice, and ended up as a very good lawyer.
But the other children taunted him and called him "Daredevil" because he stayed inside and studied while they played. He got mad and lashed out at his father's punching bag. . .and broke it off! Apparently he inherited his father's strength. He decided to work out daily while his dad was away, and he got quite strong.
One day he was walking and saw a blind man about to be hit by a truck. He saved the blind man, but was hit by the truck himself. Know what the truck was full of? Yup, that's right. Radioactive materials! He was injured in the eyes and went blind, but his other senses increased much more than was normal. So now he's Daredevil!!! YAY!!!
You get the idea. I'm giving this a 9/10 for ridiculousness and, well, nice job Stan!
