Daredevil
admonition : mollycoddler for Punisher # 7Marvel’sDaredevilis one of the few superheroes who has a very hard belief in God thanks to his Catholic faith , but his latest tactic for defeating thePunishergoes against that very religion , and it ’s entirelyDoctor Strange’sfault . The Man Without Fear may have superpowers , but does n’t usually push the otherworldly creatures and world - conquerorslike Dormammu that Doctor Strange battleson a regular foundation ; even so , Stephen Strange can cater a unequalled advantage against the Punisher .

Daredevil’s Exorcism Goes Against His Religion
Catholics would bristle at the thought of using magic or witchcraft of any kind , even to defeat an evil . Despite Daredevil ’s religion , his use of the exorcism spell proves he is n’t as adherent to doctrine as he ought to be . Additionally , he swear , has sex before marriage , and uses force to solve his problem . It must be note that Daredevil is acutely aware of his own fault : inMarvel ’s recentJudgment Daycrossover event , the Progenitor Celestial look before him as Jesus Christ and gauge him a nonstarter .
