One could argue that Daredevil's lackluster Hollywood adventure should keep him out of the top 10. However, this is a character whose back catalog is strong enough that movies don't need to enter the picture. Some of the best superhero stories in the medium have involved the Man Without Fear. There's just something deeply appealing about a man whose Catholic guilt forces him to don red tights and venture out into the streets each night to battle ninjas and psychopaths.
Daredevil suffers from his heroic quest more than almost any character, but he always picks himself up again and resumes the fight. Maybe his next film will do a better job of capturing that appeal.
