Don't want to highjack (and will not start putting my own write-ups) but here is an example of Daredevil that I wrote a while back. I haven't double-checked anything but I quickly realised he does not have any swinging ability with his club. I would probably lower his DX to free up a few points to add that. I am pretty sure that build was heavily inspired (and potentially shamelessly ripped off) by Phantasm work in his Marvel reboot thread so kudos to him.
