Summary
Warning: Spoilers for Blood Hunt: Dracula #2!Not evenSpider-Mancan matchDaredevil’sskills as a street-level fighter. The original Spider-Man and Daredevil have teamed-up many a time, to the point that Matt Murdock is convinced that Peter Parker is"the best"of Marvel’s heroes. The evidence is certainly there to back it up, especially considering the slick skillset he brings to the table – yet surprisingly, Daredevil largely outshines Spider-Man when it comes to combat
Blood Hunt: Dracula#2 – written by Danny Lore, with art by Vincenzo Carratu – features a chance encounter between Daredevil and Blade’s daughter, Bloodline, which allows the fledgling young hero to share with the audience what it’s like seeingthe Man Without Fear in action, up close, and personal.
Bloodline remarks that Daredevil’s movements are like"ballet"in ways that Spider-Man’s aren’t, which is impressive considering that of the two, Spider-Man is more commonly known for his agility and fluidity of movement.
Watching him in action for the first time, Bloodline suggests that Daredevil’s movements are agile and acrobatic in ways unlike her father’s agility, or that of Spider-Man’s.

In the midst ofBlade succumbing to the dark side, Bloodline is prophesied as theonly hero who can stop him. Since that’s a lot to ask of a teenager, Brielle Brooks roams aimlessly in the vampire-ridden streets to make sense of everything in her head. As she fights some vamps off, she’s soon joined by Daredevil. Watching him in action for the first time, Bloodline suggests that Daredevil’s movements are agile and acrobatic in ways unlike her father’s agility, or that of Spider-Man’s.
Bloodline has yet to meet Peter Parker, so she’s likely talking about Miles Morales, who she previously teamed-up with, butsince Peter and Miles share the same powers, readers can assume that her words can apply to both Spider-Men.To say Daredevil is a little more agileis interesting, especially when considering that,save for the super senses and martial arts, he’s just a man, whereas Spider-Man has powersthat add to his agility. And yet, Daredevil is able to surpass him.
It’s hard to argue against Spider-Man being Marvel’s best superhero, butif Daredevil surpasses him in skills, he could have a valid arguement in his favor.

Looking at skillset alone, it’s hard to argue against Spider-Man being Marvel’s best superhero, butif Daredevil surpasses him in skills, he could have a valid arguement in his favor.Not everyone would make a case forDaredevilbeing the best hero that Marvel has to offer, but if he manages to outshineSpider-Man, Marvel’s most beloved hero, then perhaps there’s at least an argument to be made there as some food for thought.
