Daredevil inspires fear in heroes and villains alike, but his height doesn’t exactly tower over his opponents.
Daredevil is finally making his long-awaited return, not just in comics but to the MCU.
In any medium, Daredevil thrives on being fearless – and instilling fear. Part of that is his imposing figure, but you may be surprised he’s not that much taller than other heroes.
Daredevil’s height in Marvel Comics
In Marvel Comics, Daredevil stands at 6’ tall. Marvel confirmed this in 1985’sOfficial Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
At 6’, Daredevil is a relatively average height, but nonetheless, he towers over several supporting cast members. For comparison, Spider-Man stands 5’7”, while Captain America is 6’2”.
He’s also pretty average compared to his foes. His arch-nemesis, Bullseye, is 5’8”, while The Kingpin is a frightening 6’7”.
MCU actorCharlie Cox stands just shy of his comic book counterpart’s height at 5’10”. He’s the current de facto Daredevil for film and television, with nothing really contradicting if his height is taller or shorter.
Ironically, it is the original television Daredevil who best represents the Marvel Comics character. Rex Smith, who is 6′, only played Daredevil in a Trial of the Incredible Hulk, a 1989 TV movie that doubled as a backdoor pilot for a failed Daredevil series.
Christopher Baggett was a TV & Movies Writer on Dexerto’s US team and a comics expert, across DC Comics and Marvel. He also has bylines at ComicsBeat, Comic Book Resources, and The HomeWorld.
