5 People Daredevil Killed
Daredevil does not go lightly on his enemies. He has a no-kill policy that is influenced by his Catholic faith but is sometimes hard to follow when you're a masked vigilante. Some were killed by accidents, by his hand, or by events set in motion by him, so let's take a look at some of the most popular enemies Daredevil has killed.
5.) The Fixer
Daredevil's father worked for a man named Roscoe Sweeney, who was better known as The Fixer. The Fixer was involved in gambling and extortion and wanted Matt Murdock's father to throw a fight so he could make money. His father refused, and The Fixer sent his men to kill Murdock’s father. Daredevil never forgave The Fixer for killing his father, and he eventually got his revenge. In the 1980 comic, Daredevil #164, Daredevil chases The Fixer into a subway station, but before he can catch him, the Fixer has a fatal heart attack and dies. Daredevil doesn't even try and kill the villain, but he was able to strain the heart of the aging gangster, which lead him to his death.

4.) The Fist
This villain was created as a deadly weapon by the ancient Japanese group of Ninjas, thieves, and assassins, known as the Hand. In 2016’s Daredevil #4, The Fist was created using the body of one of The Hand's former members. He was sent to Chinatown to kill a Crimeboss known as Tenfingers. He also went after followers of Tenfingers church. Even though The Fist was quite powerful, Daredevil still managed to kill the monster by impaling it with its own weapon.
3.) Fisk's Men
Wilson Fisk is a powerful crime boss, so it makes sense that he would have many men underneath him to help him out. Since Daredevil tries to stop Fisk, it's no wonder his men will get in the way and become collateral damage. In both the show and the comic Daredevil: The Man Without Fear #4 he comes across a warehouse full of children. Fisk owned the warehouse, so naturally, he came down hard on the men at the warehouse. He got to the drop on two of them at the docks and was able to take them down quickly, and left their bodies floating in the water.
2.) Bullseye
One of the Daredevil's most popular enemies is in Bullseye. In the 2010 storyline Shadowline, Daredevil returns to Hell's Kitchen after being in Japan. Since returning, he is not the same man he used to be, as he became the leader of the Hand Ninja clan. They built a temple in an abandoned basement known as Shadowland, and he started to take a more brutal approach to crime. This included killing his longtime enemy, Bullseye. He didn't stay dead very long though, as Daredevil started a ritual to bring him back, but this time under his control.
1.) Wilson Fisk
One of the most familiar Daredevil villains is Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, thanks to the Netflix Daredevil series. He is also one of Daredevil's arch-enemies. Daredevil and Kingpin have had their swipes at each other throughout their long history, and Daredevil has even killed him in multiple universes. One of these universes occurs in the 1989 comic What If Daredevil Killed Kingpin? In the mainstream continuity, Matt Murdock’s secretary, Karen Page, sold out his identity to Kingpin, and thus Kingpin used this to ruin his life. Murdock tried to fight Kingpin and lost. In the alternate continuity, Daredevil successfully shot and killed Kingpin. This however plunged New York City into a gang war, and Daredveil sought his punishment for his sins. He even went as far as to imagine the Punisher killing him.
Daredevil has seen his share of villains throughout his time, some of which have become arch-enemies. Even though his Catholic faith plays a role in his heroics, sometimes a bad guy just has to die, as shown in this list. Not all are in the same universe, however, but it doesn't make them any less real. In the upcoming show, Daredevil: Born Again we will see the return of Kingpin, and the introduction of Bullseye, and it will be interesting to see what happens to them in the series, and how they interact with Daredevil.
