Daredevil

Daredevil has become one of Marvel’s most popular characters, with the popularity of the character skyrocketing since Charlie Cox’s portrayal in Daredevil on Netflix and She-Hulk in the MCU series.

The character is a prime candidate to headline his own game, with Daredevil’s combat ability having the potential to create some Batman Arkham-style combat sequences. His heightened senses could also come into play, with the ability to sense attacks or see enemies that would otherwise be concealed.

His supporting cast and villains would make for some interesting battles, including the Hand, Elektra, Bullseye, and the Kingpin providing different challenges and boss battles. An assortment of costumes could also be utilized, bringing the many different appearances of the character over the years for players to adore and try out, much like the Spider-Man games.

This game could also feature several supporting characters, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, leading into potential spin-off titles for those characters and a Defenders game.

Another fun concept would be exploring the lawyer/superhero dynamic of Matt Murdock, with the character having to juggle his personal life and superheroics. It would be interesting to have players play as Matt, trying to win a case with the outcome potentially affecting the storyline.

While a Daredevil game could take a variety of different angles with gameplay and storyline, any video game take on the character would be welcomed by the fans.
