Pretty good reasoning. Though, with those tactics, I'd think Batman would be the even better choice; especially since he has actual diversionary weapons in his arsenal. I'd pick Frank over Matt as well.

Sure Bats and Frank would be good too, however the point is that this is an extended operation against a smart enemy rather than surviving a few half-assed ambushes. It calls for strategy, cunning, ruthlesness etc, much more than the ability to take out a few towelheads with kalashnikovs.

daredevil and batman for everything here

You don`t think Cap would have an edge on them in boot camp?

[b]Question: Can Daredevil be sniped? Has this ever be attempted? if he can be, the person who chose him for the 4th scenario made a bad choice. [/B]
Joke, right? 🙄

I wasn't aware that personal resources were allowed. If so, Batman would be my choice for #4 with ball of his different road, sea, and aerial transports. Or Punisher with his Battle Van.

Anyone who doesn't pick Cap for boot camp is unintelligent.

Personal resources like automobiles, i don't think so. But Batman gets his gadgets 'cause that's who Batman is. Otherwise, the OP should have said Bruce.

But, seriously. You asked could Daredevil be sniped. Was that an attempt at humor or a serious question?

Batman rolls

i just played batman arkham asylum on ps3 and batman is very cool i could beat up 10 guys at the same time with him so he is the best in this list

It was in jest, but it was an actual query. I realize why it SHOULDNT work, I'm just asking if it's possible. i think it is.

Unless the sniper is a couple thousand feet(which isn't exactly Taliban tactics) away I'd say no. Bullseye, S.W.A.T., The Hand, Hydra, thugs, Punisher, S.H.I.E.L.D., various assassins, Widow, etc. have all tried. That type of shit doesn't work against him. He knows everything that's happening around him in roughly atleast a couple thousand feet radius. He's literally that good.

That's why I picked him. Where others would be in combat situations Daredevil could potentially avoid most of them. Whoever is knocking him in this particular situation because he's blind is stupid. That's what all the people in the books do; he's made a career of kicking their asses. He's superior to Punisher by a wide margin in most everything that doesn't involve prep.

Uh, I'm knocking him in this situation (the 4th one only) because it doesn't matter how good his senses are when bullets are flying and he has to protect someone... he's not THAT good.

As for the sniping thing, it can be done, but not in a Daredevil comic.

Really? Who better would you want? Daredevil knows the trajectory of the projectiles before thay've even been fired. He's peak human in strength and possibly superhuman in reflexes and agility(rivals Spider-Man). He dodges bullets and even deflects them BACK at the enemy. If he has to kick ass, store the child in a relatively safe hiding spot, pwn the terrorists and retrieve the package. But for the most of it he'd AVOID most of the situations all together.

I picked Spiderman.

lulz. I think you're slightly overestimating Daredevil. No way in hell is he dodging or redirecting automatic machine-gun fire and missiles, while simultaneously protecting the kid from getting killed. Nor is he predicting a damn thing when he's getting shot at from multiple angles and crap is blowing up around him.

i find it funny you also came up with this idea, i got called an idiot for suggesting it as a possibility.

Actually you failed to think of the scenario as anything more than surviving an ambush. As Darth Martin pointed out, Daredevil (also Cap, Bats and Pun) has what it takes to avoid being detected. Once the Talib makes you in their back yard, believe me, your odds of succeeding drops considerably no matter how badass you are.

Seriously, any officer with half a brain would pick Spiderman dead last for an operation like this.
"The world`s finest soldier, a world class ninja, the best goddammed detective ever, or a teenage viligante with a fast mouth? Gee, Ì guess must go with the nerd here."

I go with the fastest and strongest... me thinks this is Spider-Man.

Well, to be honest, none of these guys can directly take on an army while protecting the child. Iron Man would struggle and he dwarfs these guys as far as power and versatility goes.

Spider-Man is the most powerful of the five superheroes here. But he's by far the weakest when it comes to actual combat training and tactics. Batman and Daredevil are uber elite ninjas who have different abilities to aid them, and Cap and Punisher are top of the line soldiers who have actual military combat experience.

Spider-Man is capable of taking guys with machine guns down, don't get me wrong, but I'm not taking him over these four who are all tactical geniuses when it comes to war tactics and resourcefullness. Daredevil has soloed over a hundred ninjas while out of costume, Batman is arguably DC's smartest human, Cap and Punisher have soloed armies by themselves.

Now, as I said, Spider-Man does have advantages over these guys. For one he could likely bring down any vehicle the Taliban brings to the fight with his bare hands. Battle-wise: he may be the best here. But when their on the run? I'll take the other four guys over him anyday of the week.

Cap, Daredevil, and Punisher were the ones on the run from the Pro-Reg; not Spider-Man. Batman's record speaks for itself. He's repeatedly snuck up on the Justice League; if he doesn't want to be found chances are your not going to locate him.

You know that Spider-Man switched sides during Civil War ?

True; Depending on the book you read though he may not have done much. I remember Iron Man destroying him and Cage, not much else.
