Daredevil has one of the most motley mix of villains in comics.

I will go with Elektra, because I never stopped thinking of Kingpin as part of Spider-man rogues gallery.

Bullseye for me. Kingpin is great and all, but Bullseye was a crazy killer back when villains being crazy killers wasn't the norm. And he once almost killed DD with a paper airplane.

I'm agreeing with Bolgani and The Human Top. And although the Kingpin is a much better
Daredevil villain than he ever was for Spider-Man, it still feels a little to this day like having
DD fight Electro in DD #2. It's wrong somehow. Bullseye is a classic DD villain through and
through, who only really suffers from having been overused.

I also like the Purple Man, but he probably works better and more sickly graphically as a foe
for Jessica Jones.

I am also quite appreciative of Melvin Potts.

Thank you for putting Bullseye at the top of the list, where he belongs.

I kind of like how motley they are. Over in the Alan Moore thread I am talking about the Silver Age pastiche of his Supreme, with all the analogues of established villains.

Reading Silver Age DD sometimes feels like it's not an actual 60s comic but a pastiche of one, with a bunch of villains that seem too silly to be *real* villains.

In that spirit, I am tempted to give my vote to the incomparable Stilt-Man.

A couple who deserve (dis)honorable mention:

Deathstalker, who was memorably eerie.

Cobra and Hyde fought DD a couple of times. I recall a memorable scene where DD knocked out Cobra, and Hyde used his unconscious partner's flexible body to tie DD up!

And let's not forget that awesome battle he had with Namor back in the day!
