This issue actually features a pretty solid battle, which of course continues to issue #17. But it’s always interesting to see how Daredevil will find a way to get the upperhand of Spider-Man. Definitely an issue worth reading!

When it comes to Marvel superheroes who often get in each other’s way that they have to fight it out, I think that Daredevil vs. Spider-Man is one of two heroes that have often fought each other. More often due to miscommunication or bad suspicions.
Not sure who has had more battles, Spider-Man vs. Daredevil or Thing vs. Hulk but I do know, it’s always interesting to see these two battle it out!
And this is the case with the first of a two-parter involving both superheroes.
In this storyline, the Marauder has found a way to get the best of Daredevil, by having many thugs dressed up as Daredevil and attacking Spider-Man (and then leaving).
This leads Spider-Man to be super pissed towards Daredevil, thinking why would his friend attack him.
And while these two fight it out and the real Daredevil not knowing why Spider-Man is attacking, the Marauder and his men work on stealing an engine, which is supposed to be the best of modern technology.
Most of the battles between Spider-Man vs. Daredevil, it seems it’s often won by Daredevil as Peter Parker is amazingly intelligent when it comes to science, Matt Murdock is very smart when it comes to strategy. Knowing that Spider-Man overpowers him and tries to use his intelligence to take on Spider-Man. Almost the same way between the Thing vs. The Hulk.
In this battle, Peter Parker is still a teenager and often gets so angry when things don’t go well, so Daredevil manages to use that to his advantage as with Daredevil’s sense, he deducts through his vocal pattern and heartbeat that Peter Parker is younger than 20-years-old.
This issue actually features a pretty solid battle, which of course continues to issue #17. But it’s always interesting to see how Daredevil will find a way to get the upperhand of Spider-Man. Definitely an issue worth reading!
