Daredevil's greatest ever foe - Poll Results!

Daredevil #1, black, red and yellow costume
As Noddy Holder once so famously declared, "It's Chri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-istmas!" - and that's always an exciting time of year.

But it's just got even more exciting, as the results are in from our sensational poll to discover just who is Daredevil's greatest ever enemy.

There was a wide spread of voting but a surprisingly clear winner.

In joint sixth place, with one vote each, we find Mr Fear, Stilt-Man and the Mandrill.

In joint fourth, with two votes each, we find the bovine-tastic duo of Man-Bull and Bullseye.

In joint second, with three votes each, we find the Kingpin and Death-Stalker

But the winner, with a massive six votes, is the Gladiator, a man who, despite being able to give you a close shave any time he wants, won through by much more than a close shave.

So, congratulations to the Gladiator - even though he doesn't really exist and therefore can't read this message to him - and thanks to all who voted, including myself because it's Christmas and I think one should always take the time at Christmas to appreciate one's self.

Merry Christmas to you, the Reader. And here's looking forward to our no doubt equally thrilling gallery of our all-time favourite covers, which is due to be posted in the next couple of days. It's still not too late to nominate one if you haven't done so already.

Well done, Gladdy! I'm pleased that a pre-Miller baddie won! I always thought those buzz saws were the original nasty weapon of comics!

Who's next, Steve? Cap's greatest Villain? Dr Strange? Thor?

I was wondering who was next too. Basically I've been concentrating so far on heroes who were in Origins/Son of Origins of Marvel Comics. So I suppose that, logically, that leaves Nick Fury, the Silver Surfer, Thor or Dr Strange before moving on to others. I think Dr Strange might be an interesting one to do.

Very surprised. I'm not sure I really consider the Gladiator a foe, but what do I know (he said ironically)?

Who voted for Man Bull and Mandrill? Seriously, folks.

Kingpin deserves second place and honourable mentions for Typhoid Mary and the Tribune (check him out if you get the chance).

But my winner? No contest. Has to be 'Hell's Kitchen'. It'll be the death of the poor man yet.
