Strange villains populate She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, including Man-Bull, Leap-Frog, and others. Some casual fans may wonder if they're original creations for the MCU streaming series, but all of them hail from Marvel Comics. Man-Bull started out as a Daredevil villain and there are numerous other unsung antagonists just like him for live-action to adapt.
Daredevil fights iconic villains in the comics like Bullseye and Kingpin, but like every other superhero, his rogues gallery includes some lesser-known characters. These villains also deserve a moment in the spotlight and could get their shot when Daredevil: Born Again begins its 18-episode run in the near future.
Man-Bull
Man-Bull briefly fights She-Hulk before joining her at Emil Blonsky's retreat in the MCU. This funny take on the character owes something to his status as an obscure Daredevil villain. Though Man-Bull debuted in Daredevil #78 in 1971 and fought him several times, he never caught on like other key Daredevil villains.
His popularity or lack thereof reflects in the fact he disappeared from the Marvel Universe for 10 years. He didn't appear in the comics between 1977 and 1988, though he makes semiregular cameo appearances in modern comics.
Frog-Man
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law features Leap-Frog, among the most obscure Spider-Man villains in the comics, but Daredevil fought another amphibian-based character — he faced off against Frog-Man in Daredevil #10 and 11, but despite his emerging at the beginning of Daredevil's storied comic history, Frog-Man didn't make an impression.
Frog-Man served on the Ani-Men, a supervillain group including Ape-Man, Bird-Man, and Cat-Man. None of these villains won over fans, though Marvel Comics creators kept trying. Different line-ups appeared throughout the years, all the way into the early 2000s.
Bullet
Bullet made his first appearance in Daredevil #250 during Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr.'s late 1980s run, some of the best Daredevil comics ever. His pedigree failed to elevate him to icon status and Bullet remains an obscure villain who has only made sporadic appearances since.
Though he features an impressive visual design that is somewhat reminiscent of Kingpin, Bullet proved less compelling. The two villains share a history in Marvel Comics, however, which could lead to Bullet appearing in Born Again.
Death's Head
Fans know Karen Page as a great Daredevil character from the Netflix show and the comics. They may not know her father, Paxton Page, who became Death's Head. That's most likely due to how quickly Death's Head exited the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in Daredevil #56 but died in the very next issue.
Death's Head did feature an intriguing visual design, riding a frightening skeletal horse and throwing radioactive energy balls. These attributes make for a potential MCU adaptation if the franchise explores Karen and her backstory more.
Indestructible Man
Despite his name, Indestructible Man failed to survive the scrutiny of fans. He made his comic book debut in Daredevil #92 in 1972 in a story arc that promised great things to come. Invulnerable and nearly unstoppable, he had potential, but like many superpowered villains Daredevil faced, he proved perhaps too powerful.
Daredevil's best villains tend to be on his level, even if their ambitions extend beyond Hell's Kitchen. Indestructible Man made a few appearances after but ultimately met his fate in the early 2000s.
The Jester
The Jester emerged from the same harlequin idea that comic book fans know Harley Quinn did, but he proved far less successful. The first Jester appeared in Daredevil #42 and made numerous appearances in the Silver and Bronze Age. He succeeded in challenging Daredevil thanks to his many contraptions and gimmicks.
He never grew beyond the gimmicks, though. The Jester continues to appear in modern comics, including background appearances in major crossovers like Civil War II, but he remains obscure.
Death-Stalker
The Death-Stalker featured a cool, menacing look when he jumped onto the page in Daredevil #39 in 1968. With the ability to kill anyone simply by touching them, he made for a challenging villain, but he never established a foothold amongst Daredevil's top-tier villains.
They fought several times, including one battle the Avengers broke up. Death-Stalker ultimately died in the comics, and he fell further into obscurity. Other versions emerged in more recent comic storylines, but they too are relatively unknown.
The Spot
Marvel Comics fans know The Spot started off as a Spider-Man villain. Like most Spider-Man villains based in New York City, he crossed paths with Daredevil. This unusual villain, covered in black dots that serve as dimensional gateways, struggled to escape the lower tier of Marvel villains.
That likely changes when the character makes his screen debut in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) as the main villain in the highly anticipated animated feature.
Matador
El Águila appears in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law somewhat in a matador guise. This villain emerged from Power Man and Iron Fist comics, but Daredevil fought a villain named Matador early in his career. He debuted in Daredevil #5 in 1964 while Daredevil still wore his red and yellow costume, which the streaming series adapted for the first time.
Matador made only a few appearances after this, fighting Daredevil again and sometimes Spider-Man. He often teamed up with other obscure villains, making him a possible candidate to appear in live-action as well.
Stilt-Man
Stilt-Man certainly ranks among obscure Daredevil villains, though casual fans may know him thanks to his unique appearance. Stilt-Man like many other lesser-known foes appeared near the beginning, debuting in Daredevil #8. His primary power, extending his height on hydraulic legs, mostly came off as silly, though.
The character pestered Daredevil routinely in the Bronze Age and exists in other forms in modern comics. His fun comic book quality likely lands him in the MCU at some point given that other obscure characters have already made the leap.
