Respect The Original Daredevil aka "Death-Defying Devil"

This is a small thread made for the first comicbook daredevil Bart Hill, of Lev Gleason Comics. He first appeared in Silver Streak Comic #6, and instead of telling you his origin, I'll show you his original origin story:

Daredevil disarms a gunmen, infiltrates a nazi establishment, escapes, evading gunfire, and steals a plane:

Daredevil jumps from one flying plane to another, infiltrates a japenese plane, and foils the freakishly large "Claw":

Deadshot fights nazis and Hitler himself. He takes out six nazis with one swing of a rifle, and five with one toss of a boomerang. He trips hitler with a boomerang from long range and evades his gunfire. Hitler narrowly escapes death:

Ko's 3 nazis with one punch, throws a man across a room with one hand into 2 others, bashes armed guards, and takes a decoding machine, succeeding in his mission:

Leaps from plane to plane, destroying them:

destroys a ship's gun with a metal pole and swings a man rapidly by his loose clothing:

(note: I'll later get to explain how DD went from being mute in his 1st appearance to being able to talk, and back again)

Well done. Guess I'm not needed lol.

very nice thread choice nsubby.

DD swings three men by their hair with one hand:

escapes crashing buildings:

DD takes out several men with his boomerangs, runs up the wall of a well, shows agility evading The Claw and his traps, and ultimately defeats his giant arch-enemy:

Silver Streak Comics #8:

Meet the "Airdevil", DD's plane. He engages The Claw's forces in aerial combat, survives a plane crash, and still manages to beat the claw in hand to hand combat, having manipulated him into shrinking to a normal size:

Have you got anything from his recent series ?

Silver Streak Comics #10:

DD has been captured by The Claw. He escaped with the help of a women within the claw organization. He poisons the killer fish meant to devour him, breaks the tank from the inside with help of his spiked belt, and battles the once again enormous Claw, who accidently seals the fate of him and his entire city:

(note: In Silver Streak Comics #9, DD was seemingly killed by Claw......although it turned out to be his unknown brother, then he was captured by The Claw)

Silver Streak Comics #11:

The Claw summons help from satan himself to defeat DD. He destroys cities and kills DD's friends. DD shows superhuman endurance/stamina, running from New York to the Rocky Mountains to do battle with The Claw, witnessing atrocities along the way. He kills a satanic, reptilian beast with a rock, hurls his boomerang, which starts an avalanche of rock, killing more satanic beasts, but is seemingly killed as the claw sinks his claws into his throat and he is thrown over a cliff in his attempt to stop him. Turns out DD actually survived, and defeats the claw in h2h, knocking him over a cliff:

(note: DD is actually stated to have super-speed in this issue. not only that but "tremendous" strength)

Daredevil Comics #3:

DD infiltrates a prison to spring his girl, who refuses to leave. clever boomerang trick, takes out armed guards. Evades gunfire on his escape and during an encounter with a gunman afterwards. Beats a swordsman in swordfighting, takes him in:

Daredevil Comics #4

DD defeats "the sportsman". a large experienced hunter who has turned to humans. he is self-proclaimed as the world's greatest. DD somehow escapes unharmed from apparently being pummeled by falling rocks:

Daredevil Comics #5

DD defeats men on steel girders, gets two gunmen to shot each other, plays dead and bashes more goons, and takes out guys on a train.It's funny how he has no problem with arguing thugs popping off each other

do you know how to do that "spoiler text", where you have to highlight it to read it?

Daredevil Comics #6:

Daredevil Vs. "The Human Beast", a resurrected human in the body of a wolf......essentially a werewolf. he kills his master, ungrateful for life, saying he'd "rather be dead", then a wolf. Then he is adopted by DD's girl, whom he likes. ultimately he is defeated and brought in by DD

Daredevil Comics #7:

DD cleverly infiltrates a prison, taking armed guards and foiling the warden

i dont know yet, no. i just avoid saying anything i think would be a spoiler. much like how i dont read comic previews because i dont want anything to be given away for me.

Daredevil Comics #8:

Bart shows a bit of agility bashing goons

Dardevil Comics #10:

Dardevil Vs. "Bolt". He's the world's greatest athlete, one whom DD had a losing scrap against in his youth. Bolt at 1st defeats him through trickery, then loses, being hit by a train:

Daredevil Comics #10:

Daredevil, apparently a gifted pilot, in aerial combat, plowing through 4 soldiers, and taking out others:

Dardevil Comics #11:

Daredevil Vs. "The Phantom of Notre Dame"

Daredevil Comics #12:

Dardevil wrestles a tiger, whom he helps and tames:

Daredevil Vs. "Sardon", "The World's Strongest Man". first, DD almost breaks his neck. He shows agility on the trapeze, saving a woman, and defeating Sardon in 2 hits

examples of Sardon's Strength:

(note: This may be my final classic DD scan posted. Starting with issue #13, a group of kids called "The Little Wise Guys" appear , and I really hate them. Still, I'll see if i can find anymore good classic feats with DD without them)

Dardevil Comics #16:

daredevil outruns ambulances, screaming at them to run faster(his little sidekicks are in trouble)

Daredevil takes a bullet and keeps going, even catching a speeding ambulance afterwards and holding on. then is in a car crash. recovers quickly:

(note: sorry for some partial scans, but I just hate seeing those little wise guy bastards. Ruined a good thing. Good thing one of them died last issue)
