Did his run on Daredevil end with him being a murdering, insane man who had retreated to a simple life in Eastern Europe to hide from reality? One quick and rough definition that he should consider: Heroes persevere or go down fighting... Victims are broken.

Superhero and supervillains, all together, and as the director of the FBI (who alternates between being a somewhat sympathetic figure and a total bastard throughout Bendis's tenure) says, if they all kill one another while locked up, that would be "fantastic."

Interesting. And the question wasn't entirely rhetorical (although the phrasing was)... Since Bendis pointed to it as an example of how he is just as rough on his male characters, I was honestly curious as to whether it really was an equal match. Even with the summary, though, I don't quite know. Utter defeat (if that's what it even was) and victimization aren't really the same thing...
Edit: Your edit helps answer that one some.
