Marvel: Strongest Versions Of Daredevil

As a seasoned observer of the Marvel Comics universe, I must say that these Daredevil variants are nothing short of extraordinary! Each one brings a unique blend of skill, technology, and supernatural abilities to the table, making them stand out among their peers.


Born with extraordinary abilities following a tragic accident, the renowned ‘man without fear’ is known for his fiery red attire and supernatural powers derived from his disability. Matt Murdock possesses an exceptional set of powers, including heightened senses, rapid reflexes, martial arts prowess, and unbreakable determination, making him a formidable street-level superhero with immense potential.

Through the remarkable use of his senses, he can perform astonishing acts. Occasionally, he’s endowed with capabilities that surpass the ordinary, displaying an array of even more awe-inspiring talents. Here are five exceptional forms of Daredevil, showcasing his greatest and most powerful abilities.

The Netflix Vigilante Embodies His Street-Level Status

Marvel: Strongest Versions Of Daredevil

  • Name: Matt Murdock
  • Universe: Earth-616 (Formerly Earth-199999)

Potentially the most popular version of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, Charlie Cox delivered an iconic performance in his great three-season Netflix series as Daredevil. He also wowed fans with his reflexes, potentially being even faster than Spider-Man’s, through his brick-catching Marvel Cinematic Universe cameo/debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home. This Daredevil possesses all the fun abilities of a typical Daredevil iteration — along with a penchant for taking as many hits as he dishes out with his brawler fighting style.

Unfortunately, a collision with a vehicle carrying oil and chemicals left him blind, but his other senses became incredibly sharpened. In the TV series, Murdock’s heightened senses give him the ability to perceive a ‘world ablaze,’ which is essentially an imaginative way of saying that he can sense the world around him without actually seeing it. Daredevil possesses an exceptional hearing capability, enabling him to distinguish sounds throughout the city.

1) He possesses extraordinary echolocation skills, enabling him to perceive his environment and dodge obstacles much like a superhuman does. Moreover, his sense of smell surpasses that of a dog’s, and if there’s an open wound on you, he can detect the coppery scent in the air and realize you’re injured without needing to physically touch you. Daredevil, as portrayed by Netflix, is remarkably powerful for a street-level hero, making him an exciting prospect for future Marvel Cinematic Universe storylines.

4 Marvel Comics Daredevil

The Original Comic Book 616 Man Without Fear

Marvel: Strongest Versions Of Daredevil
  • Name: Matt Murdock
  • Universe: Earth-616 (Comics 616)

As a die-hard comics fan, I’ve always been captivated by the original Daredevil – the one who started it all. His unique blend of exceptional hearing, lightning-fast reflexes, and masterful martial arts skills has kept me hooked for decades. The red-haired Catholic character is a testament to the enduring appeal of the original. Despite the emergence of other versions, his power-set remains as fascinating as ever, in some instances even surpassing them.

It is said that even in instances where his smelling and hearing has been blocked, he can make sense of his surroundings simply by feeling the changes in temperature and atmosphere of the objects and people surrounding him. His smell has been described as refined enough to tell identical twins with the exact same genetics apart from each other. He also holds pure power within his hands, able to survive car crashes, electrocution, and cracking concrete with his fists. Comic Matt Murdock has had decades of wild and sometimes outlandish feats under his belt, making it tough for the comparatively grounded Netflix’s Daredevil to compare in terms of raw power.

3 Ultimate Daredevil

The Ultimate Fighter, More Brutal Than His 616 Variants

  • Name: Matt Murdock
  • Universe: Earth-1610

In the gaming world, stepping into the shoes of Earth-1610’s Daredevil feels like playing an upgraded, grittier version of the classic 616 hero I’m familiar with. This Daredevil, he’s not just a man without fear, but a superhuman athlete who could give any top Olympian a run for their money. His speed, strength, agility – they’re all dialed up to max, giving him an edge that makes every fight feel intense and exhilarating.

A brief look at Marvel Comics’ wiki or similar resources reveals that his combat abilities rank at a 5, which is slightly below the top martial artists in Marvel like Iron Fist and Captain America. However, Ultimate Daredevil stands out as he’s more driven by rage, making him a much more formidable and ruthless fighter compared to his traditional counterpart. Disregarding ethical considerations, those ready to fight dirty have a better chance of overpowering their opponent, as this version of Daredevil often does.

A notable scene from the renowned Ultimate Daredevil series depicts him repeatedly striking The Punisher’s face with his iconic Billy Clubs. These clubs are not only tools for powerful acts of aggression, but also for moving across rooftops more frequently than other portrayals of the character.

2 Daredevil 2099

Daredevil Of The Future Utilizes Powerful Tech To Enhance His Abilities

Marvel: Strongest Versions Of Daredevil
  • Name: Samuel Fisk
  • Universe: Earth-2992

In this particular universe, the role of Daredevil has been passed on from Matthew Michael Murdock to a new character named Samuel Fisk. Notably, Samuel is the grandson of Daredevil’s arch-nemesis, Wilson Fisk, also known as the Kingpin. This suggests that our fearless hero, once unafraid of the future, is now embracing it with a different face.

In comparison to past Daredevil versions, Daredevil 2099 benefits from advanced technology, making him more powerful. His suit serves not only as a costume but also functions as armor, amplifying his physical prowess with use. He possesses a customized vehicle equipped with an autonomous dressing system, crime detection device, and rapid deployment mechanism for swift rooftop access. Additionally, he carries dual pistols that fire ‘solid-sedative bullets,’ which dissolve upon impact and affect the target’s bloodstream.

Despite the upgrades, Billy continues to wield his traditional Billy Club weapons. However, the advanced features of his armored suit, such as a target-tracking system, make each strike more precise. The armor’s primary strength lies in its rocket capabilities, making it an integral part of this 21st-century combatant’s impressive arsenal.

1 Darkdevil

The Demonic Daredevil Brings The Supernatural To The Superhuman Hero

Marvel: Strongest Versions Of Daredevil
  • Name: Riley Tine
  • Universe: Earth-982

This version of Daredevil, as suggested by its name alone, is significantly more powerful than typical street-level heroes; even Daredevil himself pales in comparison. Darkdevil showcases the fangs of a vampire and a costume that might lead one to believe Matt Murdock, the man without fear, has lost his soul.

His superhuman abilities go far beyond any other Daredevils’. He can summon flames, which he uses to enhance his weaponry for more devastating melee attacks. He has a healing factor that would make even the likes of Deadpool and Wolverine raise an eyebrow. His speed and senses are far greater than the standard Daredevil variants — his speed especially, being more akin to that of a powerful Spider-Man variant instead. He can also teleport to any place as long as he has traveled there before. His connection to the demon Zarathos is responsible for these great powers.

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: With powers akin to Spider-Man’s web-slinging and the Human Torch’s fiery might, I can scale walls like a spider and encase myself in blazing mystical flames for an intense power surge. Among all the Daredevils out there, none can match my raw strength and terror-inducing prowess.
