Warning: Spoilers for The Thing #1!After holding his own against The Thing, Melvin Potter's Gladiator is quickly evolving into Daredevil's strongest villain. Melvin Potter has been a frenemy of Matt Murdock's since debuting in 1966's Daredevil #18. Whether he's building costumes like Daredevil's extreme 90s armor, or slashing at other heroes with weaponized wrist blades and armor, Melvin has always notoriously been powerless.
