With both Daredevil and She-Hulk getting shows on Disney Plus, it looks like lawyers are back in fashion. It's an odd but accurate shower thought that in a world full of supervillains, of course being a lawyer would be a lucrative business. Still, Murdock and Walters are far from the only ones.
There have been plenty of lawyers in comics, and not all of them have been superheroes. Some were actually quite villainous and often used their lawyer position to gain an advantage. With their intellect and abilities, comic lawyers do more than just defend in court.
Beetle II
Beetle II, or Lady Beetle, is a criminal supervillain on the side. Her secret identity is Janice Lincoln, a criminal lawyer of great renown. She also happens to be the daughter of Lonnie Lincoln, aka Tombstone. Her father, upon hearing that she "wanted to be part of the family business," pushed her into law instead of the violent side of crime.
It wasn't because he had any qualms about his daughter being a criminal, but because he believes that a lawyer can get away with a lot more money than any criminal could. Still, she wanted the thrill of supervillainy, and so she donned the Beetle armor. A suit capable of keeping up with Spider-Man is no joke, and Janice uses it to great effect.
Multiple Man
James Madrox, AKA Multiple Man, is a mutant but not an actual lawyer. However, he ordered one of his clones to go to law school and start a firm for his use. Surprisingly, the clone turned out to be a fantastic lawyer in the entertainment business. Since then, the clone has taken on the identity of "Matt Rocks, the local celebrity lawyer."
Unlike most of his other copies, Matt Rocks was allowed to remain separate from James because he proved useful. Make no mistake, though; Matt Rocks is still James Madrox at the end of the day. While Matt's clones aren't "bright," he's still fully capable of making a team of his own.
Manhunter II
No, she's not the martian one. Kate Spencer is the second person to hold the title of Manhunter. Unlike her father, who was a supervillain using the name, Kate is firmly on the side of good. She's often affiliated with the Birds of Prey and sometimes the Justice League.
She has no metahuman powers, but she is an incredibly skilled martial artist at peak physical fitness. She's capable enough to spar with Wonder Woman, beat assassins like Cheshire, and even manages to resist the mindpowers of Doctor Psycho. Kate has redeemed the mantle many times over.
Earth-Two Robin
Earth-Two was created to have "separate timelines" that explained the differences between the Golden Age and the Silver Age of comics. Truth be told, it didn't do it that well because of comic books, but it did spawn some interesting stories. One of the more notable ones is that of Dick Grayson.
In this universe, Dick Grayson is the only Robin. Not only that, he never leaves the mantle and remains a Robin later in life. In addition to that, however, Dick Grayson became a successful lawyer, much to his foster father Bruce Wayne's pride. It's pretty fun to see a Batfamily member lead a relatively drama-free life of success.
Harvey Birdman
Harvey Birdman manages to sneak his way to the world of comic books thanks to his very brief run back in the 70s. He's better known these days as Adult Swim's overworked lawyer. Although his superhero days are far behind him, he still retains his flying brick powers.
Hilariously, Harvey Birdman has no scruples defending even the clearly guilty. He says his reasons are heroic because "he can't turn away those in need." As a result, Harvey Birdman is often the default lawyer of the worst clients by virtue of nobody else wanting to take them.
Daredevil
Without a doubt the most famous lawyer in comic book history, Matt Murdock is as great a lawyer as he is a hero. His undying compassion for helping those in need, combined with his self-inflicted burden of being a hero, make him one of the most morally upright characters in Marvel.
A good reason for the popularity is how well Matt uses his powers. It benefits both his vigilante and lawyer jobs. Matt Murdock listens for the click of a gun and a liar's heartbeat with equal importance. Being a street-level hero, he's also the hero who relates most to those affected by crime.
She-Hulk
The second most popular lawyer of Marvel Comics, Jennifer Walters was highly successful at her job even before the green makeover. However, she was very weak and sickly. Despite her intelligence, she always wanted to be a more physically active person. She wanted to be a dancer before pursuing law.
After a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner that saved her life, Jen became the She-Hulk. Although the upper limits of her strength weren't quite as potent as Hulk's, she was far more mentally stable. In fact, she even won court cases while in her She-Hulk form. While she won't be breaking worlds anytime soon, she's still a Hulk, and few things in Marvel can stand up to a Hulk at their best.
Icon
Much like a certain Kryptonian superhero, Icon was on an alien pod that crashlanded on a farm in America. The pod altered the appearance of its passenger to the same genetic makeup as the first lifeform to go near it. As it happens, it was a kind African-American woman. Sadly, this was not the farmland of a kindly Kansas couple. Instead, the alien had crashlanded in the middle of a cotton field in 1839.
He grew up to become a Union Soldier, and once the war was won, he pursued law. As decades passed, he managed to avoid revealing his near-immortal alien status by assuming the identity "of his own son." Icon is essentially Milestone Comics' version of Superman. Unsurprisingly, when his universe merged with Superman's, they both became fast friends due to their similar heritage and compassion for humanity.
Singularity Jain
Singularity Jain is a highly successful criminal lawyer with a pitch-black secret. The secret is that she's less a person and more a "living black hole." Her race, the Motophagus, embodies the fundamental force of gravity in the universe. She's an immensely old being and is said to have been responsible for murdering thousands of people over the many millennia she's been on Earth.
She is most often at odds with the Green Lanterns due to the cosmic threat her power poses. Her powers are very metaphysical. She's not exactly "sucking" their entire being into a strange nightmare world. However, her powers don't work very well on people who don't have any trauma or have overcome it already. Still, with how scary the DC universe is, traumatized people are far from being in short supply.
Resurrection Man
One of the most fascinating obscure characters from DC Comics, Resurrection Man, AKA Mitch Shelley, was once a very successful mob lawyer. However, he was forced to undergo an experiment involving nanotechnology and a dash of occult magic. The resulting experiment made him lose his memory, and so he spent months looking for answers, becoming a hero along the way.
Resurrection Man, as the name implies, comes back to life every time he is killed after only a few seconds. Not only that, with each death, he gains powers related to the way he died. He's been killed a lot of times and so holds several powers too numerous to count here. A man who can never die and gets stronger each time it happens? DC is lucky that he's no Doomsday.
