Daredevil

Daredevil is a superhero who was created by Jack Binder in the 1930s. He starred in comics from Lev Gleason Publications during the Golden Age of comic books. Daredevil was orphaned as a child after his father was murdered and he was branded with a hot iron. He grew up to become a boomerang marksman, in homage to the boomerang-shaped scar left on his chest. Like Batman, who was introduced a year earlier, Daredevil took up a costume to wage vigilante vengeance. Editor Jack Cole, who would create the classic Plastic Man a year later, revamped the character in the next issue as Bill Hart, pitting him against Silver Streak's lead character, the villainous Claw, for a five-issue battle that made Daredevil a star.
