This week’s Top5.com<\/a> Little Fivers<\/a> — Comics<\/strong><\/em> Edition:<\/p>\n

Back in 1964, Stan Lee and Bill Everett created the Man Without Fear, Matt Murdock, a successful lawyer who also waged battle against crime as the blind superhero Daredevil. For the math impaired, that means ol’ hornhead’s been tossing that baton for 40 years. Yikes! So …<\/em><\/p>\n

The Top 9 Signs Matt Murdock’s Getting a Little Tired of Being Daredevil<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

9. He was last seen swimming in the Hudson River in an Aquaman outfit.<\/p>\n

8. He tells the city that whenever they need him, shine a light in the sky and he’ll come to help as soon as he sees it.<\/p>\n

7. “I’m the one with the radar sense — why the hell is that<\/em> guy called Batman?”<\/p>\n

6. He’s sick and tired of the Avengers teaming him up with Vision, just to get an ironic snicker.<\/p>\n

5. When encountering a crime, he keeps muttering “Didn’t see it, didn’t happen.”<\/p>\n

4. “Foggy, I’ll tell you what — this time I’ll<\/em> do all the grunt research on the McMurphy case, you<\/em> go square off with Bullseye in Times Square.”<\/p>\n

3. In the morning, he becomes Elektra.<\/p>\n

2. Not only did he not object to the casting of Ben Affleck, he actually tracked him down and gave him the costume.<\/p>\n
