Daredevil has been a longtime favorite among the MCU fans. He is a vigilante with amplified abilities of hearing, smell, taste, and touch to superhuman levels along with having developed a “radar sense” that helps him form a picture of his surroundings mentally.
However, the beloved character does not possess any Godly powers like that of Thor or witchcraft and wizardry skills like Wanda and Doctor Strange.
This is why when he was recently reported to join the Avengers in the next installment, i.e. Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, fans couldn’t help but mock him for one predictable reason: the lack of Godly strengths and superpowers that could actually help him contribute to a multiversal battle.
Charlie Cox’s Daredevil Gets Mocked Over Reports Of Joining The Avengers 5 Cast
Recently, @update_marvel took to X to share a recent report on Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, claiming that “Kevin Feige reportedly wants Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to be a member of the Avengers” in the next installment of the film series.
However, a lot of Marvel fans are having a hard time processing this information and trying to understand how exactly the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen could prove to be worthy of being in the band of superheroes who hold Godly strengths and superpowers.
Moreover, this would inevitably be a multiversal war considering how Kang the Conqueror would be the prime big bad, and multiple variants from different multiverses could be expected as well since this storyline is set in the Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This is why fans are all the more concerned about how someone like Charlie Cox‘s literal street-fighting blind superhero with elevated senses could fight “alongside wizards and gods and have it be leveled.” Taking to X, here’s how they’re reacting to the same:
Maybe Matt will sue Kang for time infringement! ⚖️
or maybe, just maybe…
Matt will negotiate with Kang over a cup of coffee and a legal loophole! 🤣— Gummadivalli Shiva Kumar (@shivakumar00740) January 28, 2024

I’m tired of this “Everyone’s an Avenger” crap. What’s Matt going to do to Kang? Throw his billy club at him?

According to most of these fan perspectives, while Daredevil could fit in the movie in a small or cameo role as one of the supporting characters, he couldn’t actually prove to be of much help as a main Avenger in the multiverse storyline in front of other superheroes like Wanda Maximoff and Thor.
But, at the very same time, these fans are also failing to notice one key element of this entire situation which proves that Cox’s superhero could fit in just as perfectly as everyone else — something that some other die-hard fans of the character and MCU pointed out.

At The Same Time, Daredevil Fans Have Some Really Good Reasons Why He Could Perfectly Fit In
Although it is true that Daredevil does not possess any extraordinary superpowers or superhuman weapons like MCU’s God of Thunder or the Scarlet Witch — which notably serves as a drawback, he can still fit in perfectly in the Avengers crew just through his superhuman strengths and abilities.
Further backing up this claim is the fact that other original superheroes like Captain America and the Winter Soldier were also made superheroes in ways similar to him, and do not possess incredible superpowers or superhuman weapons either but still served as key members of the team.
Then there is Hawkeye and the Black Widow, who further take this claim to a whole another extent considering how they don’t possess superhuman abilities at all but simply depend on their spectacular talent and skills to achieve victory, and even end up succeeding.
Considering how all these superheroes fought and even won the fight against even a purple big bad like Thanos (who even wiped off half of the population) in the final war in Avengers: Endgame, Charlie Cox’s superhero could quite easily do and succeed in doing the same.
This is exactly what fans are defending the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen with as well. Counterarguing with all the fans who are mocking reports of Kevin Feige wanting to include him in the band of superheroes, here’s what they are saying:
So what, were Hawkeye and Black Widow useless in infinity war and endgame?

Considering how Kang can be beaten, I think Matt would give him a very hard time in hand to hand combat and be a nuisance for him.

Beautiful how far we came. He should have a cap america like position. Always believing in the good, while still being badass. Imagine him fighting side by side with Dr. Strange & War Machine

I’m literally so here for this! I want him to do his little spit out his blood and stand back up ready to fight the last Kang variant. Just like Captain America did with Thanos. Daredevil, the last man standing

Well, for one, all of these claims are inevitably true and Daredevil could still prove to be victorious and a massive help if he joins the Avengers: The Kang Dynasty cast. However, since these are all reports as of now, with no sources of claims confirming the same, nothing can be said for sure.
