Respect The Original Daredevil aka "Death-Defying Devil"

Dardevil Comics #17:

Bart takes armed guards, and beats a man repeatedly, awaking him six times, to get him to talk:

(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)

I'm not to the "back again" part, but here's his second origin, from Daredevil Comics #18. Raised by aboriginees after the elder's crooked chief son killed his parents. He grew up, bested the crooked chief, which is how he got the costume. Then came to the US to fight crime

continued.....

Daredevil Comics #21:

Daredevil shrugs off a dart and sends it right back:

(note: I skimmed through up to about issue 52 of DD comics, and since he really stops showing up too much by issue #70 - taking a back seat to the little wise guys - I decided I'd go ahead and start showing his recent feats ahead of time. maybe i'll go back afterwards and see if i missed anything in the golden age DD comics left)

Project Superpowers #0:

Spoiler:
The Fighting Yank explains how he trapped WW2 heroes, including Daredevil, inside "The Urn" or Pandora's Box to prevent the world from being conquered by evil. He explains how he had to trap the "hope", which supposedly is what created the golden age of heroes, with the evil to restore the world's balance.He say's that DD almost stopped him. DD is later released with the other WW2 heroes:

Project Superpowers #2:

daredevil returns from the urn, apparently muted as a side effect(many heroes sustained side effects from the Urn). He appears in Paris, saving a female cop named Justine from terrorists from an organization called 'The Claw", perhaps with some connection to his assumed deceased arch-enemy. He takes out several assailants with one throw of a boomerang:

Project Superpowers #3:
Daredevil identifies himself as just that, Daredevil

Project Superpowers #4:
DD has memories of the claw( and also may be sparking a relationship with Justine)

(note: All this is important because later on there seems to be some doubt about just who he is.......well except for the Justine part, I just thought i'd mention it)

Project Superpowers #7:

Daredevil fights frankenstein government soldiers with other WW2 heroes.

Spoiler:
They've decided to make the crooked world they've come into a better place now that they returned:

(note: I hid anything that may be a spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the project superpowers series yet, that is, everything that wasn't particularly about DD. Just "highlight" or select the hidden text to read)

Dynamite Special: The Death-Defying Devil

Daredevil, now muted, does his best to explain to the other heroes about the claw. other pertake in it as well:

(note: just trying to get people familiar with the devil with all this non-feat info. bear with me, they come starting with The Death-Defying Devil #1)

The Death-Defying Devil #1:

Devil takes out armed assailants, dodging gunfire:

Death-Defying Devil vs. "The Dragon". He knows all of DD's moves and has been scientifically enhanced concerning strength, speed, and healing. DD takes the upperhand when the fight is interrupted

The Death-Defying Devil #2:

Triple D takes on several armed assailants and "The Dragon", blocking bullets with his boomerang. Dragon takes the upper hand this time, due to the fact that fighting two battles can be distracting. he is shot and slashed in the chest. He continues to fight afterward, taking out 4 men at a time with a single kick, and then doing the same with 3 more. He takes out several targets with his boomerang:

Triple D heals from his injuries right afterward:

The Death-Defying Devil #3:

Triple D drops from the ghost's plane, infiltrating a claw establishment, taking armed assailants with the help of the silver streak, and evading gunfire:

Triple D shows agility, hitching a ride on the ghost plane and holding tight:

The Death-Defying Devil #4:

Dropping from a plane

Triple Vs. The Dragon, Round Three. Devil wins:

???Is Triple D Bart Hill???

Death-Defying Devil #4:

It is revealed that Curly, one of Bart Hill, the original Daredevil's, "Little Wise Guys" is "The Dragon"(not that i didn't know the first issue). He says that The Real Daredevil died twenty years ago instead of getting trapped in the Urn and that Triple D is an imposter. Bart Hill had two boomerangs, Triple D has one, Curly has the other. How Triple D got one if he isn't Bart Hill is a mystery. How he has memories of fighting the Claw as Bart Hill is even more of one, but this is all set to be brought to light in chapter two of The Project Superpowers series. Issue #0 revealed nothing, Issue #1 comes out in July:

Image's Daredevil

In the Image Universe, Savage Dragon releases many golden age heroes, including Bart Hill, from being trapped by Solar man in suspended animation after many years. He was using the raw power to augment his own, and was easily defeated once they were free. Daredevil took up crime-fighting again afterwards. He is set to be a supporting cast member for SD from now on

Savage Dragon #148:

Takes out criminals with SD

Showing some agility

Battles more mutant criminals with SD

Well, that's about it for now. I'm sure more scans will be available as the currently underway Project Superpowers Chapter Two unfolds, along with all that is developing at dynamite with establishing a universe for the public domain golden age heroes, and the Savage Dragon series, but for now just be sure you

RESPECT THE ORIGINAL DAREDEVIL!
