Reasons it would suck to be Daredevil

[Dr Quinch]

CAUTION: Tongue-in-cheek post ahead.

The thought has occurred to me that there are certain downsides to being a blind guy with superhumanly acute senses. For example:

1) Being kept awake all night by the constant sound of rats humping in the walls.

2) Even the softest Egyptian cotton sheets feel like sandpaper against your balls.

3) The bracing sensation of "splashback" on your face every time you take a whiz.

4) Internet porn really loses something in the translation to Braille.

5) It's awkward when the cops ask you to describe the innocent female bystander your arch enemy just kidnapped and the best you can do is "She smelled like lavender perfume and cat food."

6) You're the one who has to tell She-Hulk that her personal hygiene leaves something to be desired.

7) You know for a fact that your girlfriend is cheating on you with your fictitious twin brother but you can't figure out how to broach the subject.

8) You have built-in radar sense, kind of like a bat. In fact, EXACTLY like a bat. But you're running around the rooftops dressed in Satan's pyjamas because some other asshole already stole your bat idea.

9) You're running out of plausible explanations for why your mask doesn't have proper eyeholes, or why you refuse to fight crime during thunderstorms or on the Fourth of July.

10) Having the world's most sensitive taste buds doesn't exactly improve your sex life.

11) Apparently you can actually see, but only when it's raining (WTF ,Hollywood?). Consider fighting crime in Seattle instead.


That's all I got. Feel free to add your own suggestions.

You just have a shitty life. Ask your ex about that.

It would never suck to be Daredevil

Frank Miller/Brian Michael Bendids/Ed Brubaker have written about you

Ben Affleck starred in your bio

You've bedded Jennifer Garner

Ok... you get beaten up on occasion, your Dad died early and mom's a nun...

Dr. That is some funny stuff. Kudos

Alright. These two made me laugh.

All I can think of is Matt having a worse love life than Peter Parker does.

Karen - Dead
Heather - Dead
Natasha - Off and on
Elektra - Dead
Typhoid Mary - Belongs in a nuthouse
Milla - In the nuthouse
Kirsten - Alive, for now.

Matt doesn't know what he's missing though, Peter knows exactly how ridiculously hot the women are that he is screwing things up with.

[Captain Zolalnadia]

Bendis' run was basically. "Lets see how shitty we can make Matt's life"

Elektra hasn't been dead in a long while now. Hell, she recently appeared in Charles Soule's Daredevil, and also Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and she had her own series last year.

When you think about it, looking at the kind of lives they live and what they've had to deal with, it kind of sucks to be any Superhero in the Marvel Universe, especially if you're a Mutant or Hank Pym.

Gloriana - Left you for your best friend and then died.

Look at the benefits
Free Radio and Television for hearing
Having built in Radar Sense means he is never lost
Your blindness means gaining sympathy from the jury.
You can never be accused of being racist
You can slap anyone around or trip them or hit them with your cane and always claim it was an accident.
You have can instantly tell when your client or the opposing side are lying or up to skullduggery. Opponents will always underestimate you.
You can raise any amount of money at card games or pool games.
You can operate in the dark like a creature of night whereas most superheroes feel helpless in pitch blackness.
You can never see anything disturbing to you.
No one will normally try to pick arguments with you and no one will ask you to perform any chore for them. in fact people will always try to help you.

I should've put dead but later resurrected. Haha

Ouch. Brutal. Thanks mate.

He can't see John Cena

He can always tell when food is spoiled; on the down side if that milk spoils at 2:30 a.m that's the smell that wakes you up in the middle of the night or you wake up to that smell.
