I agree Ken. Sounds more like sour grapes to me. If you can start with nothing and end up with something because of determination, guts, ambition and hard work...I hear too many stories of success using capitalism to make their own personal success. You got a woman who makes her own cookies and starts an empire/a man who made pizzas and is now nationally known/even some tech wienee who becomes a world power-almost.....it started because they made it happen and capitalism was the best environment to be a success. Seeing it as evil....sounds like a grudge.

Yes, DD kicked ASS!!! Daredevil is a hero who resides in Hell's Kitchen by day as blind attorney, by night as kickass/badass vigilante. He was exposed to radioactive chemicals as a boy, lost his sight, but gained radar like vision and increased in agility, heighten senses etc. He is known as Daredevil: The Man with No Fear.

The comic has been around since the 60's created after Spiderman by Stan Lee. He wanted to create a hero who had a 'disability' but could overcome it and kick bad guy's asses and punch addicts and goons in the crotch.

Excelsior!!
