Daredevil Characters

Gladiator I

Profile written by: Greg McQueen

The Gladiator is one of those rare villains who was actually able to mend his ways and find the "hero" that was buried deep down inside of him. At first, the Gladiator aligned himself with some of Daredevil's most insidious foes, including the Masked Marauder, the Beetle, Death-Stalker and Killgrave, the Purple Man. But throughout all of these episodes, the Gladiator always showed himself to be a man of honor; a man who upheld the values of the ancient gladiator ways. It wasn't until the Elektra Saga that the Gladiator finally found his way to the hero's side, fighting alongside Daredevil and Elektra against the hordes of the Hand. The complete story of the Gladiator, now one of Daredevil's firmest supporters, truly shows how one man can overcome his past to become a true hero.
