17. Daredevil Kills Bullseye

Comic book: Shadowland No. 1

Frank Castle always said that Daredevil was one bad day away from becoming him. That bad day happened in Dark Reign: The List after Bullseye. During that issue, one hundred-seven people were killed. That was the moment Daredevil officially had enough of Bullseye.

Daredevil and Bullseye met next in the first issue of Marvel Comics’ event Shadowland. Bullseye assumed this was one of their normal fights with the Man Without Fear. He couldn’t have been more wrong. Daredevil breaks both of Bullseye’s arms and then fatally stabs him in the chest. The irony is it’s the same way Bullseye kills Elektra years prior (Daredevil No. 181).

16. Sentry Kills Ares

Comic book: Siege No. 2

When the Sentry came on the scene, it didn’t seem like anyone could stop him. This became clearer when he fought the Greek God of War. Sentry attacked Ares on Osborn’s order and easily dispatched him. The God of War got a hit with his axe, but it wasn’t enough to stop Osborn’s attack dog. Sentry ripped Ares in half easily.

As if killing a god wasn’t enough, the image of the god’s organs was drawn over two pages. Everyone on Asgard stood in fear as Sentry stood emotionless holding half of the former god’s body.
