149* [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero Corporate-Sponsored Supervillain]]

151* HiredGuns: Works as a super villain for hire.
152* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Is in the super villain business for this reason.
153** He even has a game plan: Start with some wins against low level villains to get his name out there. Then, defeat a few C-List heroes to create buzz.

170A covert operative from an unnamed government agency, Buck Cashman tells his autistic son that he's a James Bond expy that is doing his part to prevent WorldWarIII (which his son is irrationally afraid of). In reality, Cashman receives most of his orders from a corrupt Pentagon official with ties to the Kingpin, and most of his missions are False Flag Operations designed to protect Fisk's criminal interests.

200* PortalCut: One of the more twisted uses of his abilities, he can remove someone's head from their body with a portal, and using a special collar, keep the head and the body alive while separate. He then sells the bodies as slaves, only having to occasionally feed the heads to keep the bodies alive.
201* PoweredByAForsakenChild: When Daredevil is exploring his underground lair, he finds the original Spot hooked up to a machine, [[DrivenToMadness having gone mad]] from whatever horrible experiments were conducted on him.

345!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Daredevil'' Vol. 1 #159 (April 1979)
346->''"Watch your tongue, Tex--or I'll have it removed. Our autonomy as a freelance assassination operation exists only so long as the Kingpin tolerates it."''
347
348An old school crimelord who had largely retired from organized crime until Bullseye hired him to help set a trap for Daredevil. Slaughter, viewing Bullseye as unstable and unreliable, [[GoneHorriblyRight takes charge of the operation himself]], and officially comes out of retirement for the challenge of fighting Daredevil.
349----
350* AffablyEvil: All in all he's very reasonable and levelheaded.
351* ArmsDealer: Arms '' smuggler'' actually. In the ''Cruel & Unusual'' arc, Daredevil learns that Slaughter uses his legal occupation as a dock manager to smuggle weapons into the country.
352* BigBadWannabe: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. As Daredevil himself notes, Slaughter is no Kingpin (both in terms of scale and skills) but still dangerous and competent enough that Daredevil considers him a serious threat. His saviness and experience also allowed him to avoid getting jailed and he is one of the few Daredevil villains who never got their due. Compare The Kingpin, who, while a much bigger threat than Slaughter, still suffered his fair share of HumiliationConga. See KarmaHoudini below.
353* TheDon: A classic archetype old-school mobster.
354* EvilCripple: He has a noticeable limp, and thus walks with a cane.
355* EvilOldFolks: Slaughter is very old. Along with his aforementioned limp, it explains why he doesn't even try to fight Daredevil himself.
356 * GloryDays: He sometimes expresses fondness for the old days, when mobsters had style and honor, as befitting his image of a classic [[TheDon Don]].
357* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: In the 80s he was rarely seen without a cigar on his lips.
358* HeelFaceTurn: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He faked having gone straight by the time of his return in the second volume of Daredevil, but it was just a cover he was using to smuggle weapons.
359* KarmaHoudini: Slaughter is perhaps the most infamous user of his trope in Daredevil comics (second only to Mister Fear III). He is perhaps the only Daredevil villain who escaped punishment at every turn. He never even got beaten up by DD on account of his health. The worst he ever suffered was having the illegal part of his organization getting shut down by the government latter in his career. Even then, he avoided jail and was still able to run the legal branch as he was deemed useful by that same government. This is averted in the ending of the miniseries '' The Man Without Fear'' where it' s implied he was arrested like the other lieutenants of the Kingpin.
360* MurderInc: His main original occupation was running a league of hitmen.
361* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Eric ''Slaughter''.
362* NervesOfSteel: Slaughter remains cool, even under pressure. This is best exemplified in issue 181 (the one where Elektra was first killed). Bullseye has just escaped prison and is looking for Elektra, he shows up at Slaughter's headquarters, kills all of his men and hold him at knifepoint. Without looking so much as worried, Slaughter simply gives him the information he was looking for about Elektra and even offers him a cigar, all in the tone of casual conversation. This takes place AFTER Slaughter turned on Bullseye and let him at the mercy of Daredevil.
363* NobleDemon: Eric is a ruthless crimelord, but it's sometimes shown he has his own CodeOfHonour. Once he refused to attack Daredevil after Bullseye set a trap for him, because it wouldn't have been fair.
364* NonActionBigBad: Unlike Fisk, he isn't in any shape to fight Daredevil on his own and instead relies entirely on his men to do the heavy lifting. It's notable however in that Slaughter doesn't even use other means like guns.
365* PragmaticVillainy: Slaughter's entirely concerned with profit only, and the moment anything stops being profitable he'll just drop it and walk away. This is one half of the reason why he betrayed Bullseye when the latter employed him to kill Daredevil (the other being that he had come to respect Daredevil) : realizing that Bullseye was a "madman", he wasn't sure that Bullseye would keep his end of the bargain and pay him.
366* TheStarscream: Has occasionally been one to Kingpin.
367* WorthyOpponent: He holds a grudging respect for Daredevil.

1020->''"You ain't with us, Carver, that means you're against us! And here's what the Thunderbolts do to an Uncle Tom."''
1021
1022Turk was a small time crook who frequently clashed with Daredevil and ComicBook/BlackPanther. And by clashed, we mean they would [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique intimidate him into spilling whatever criminal operation his bosses were planning that week]]. Turk eventually stole a set of Mauler armor and fought Daredevil hand to hand, which did not go over very well. When he's not drowning his sorrows in a bar, he's planning his latest scheme to get in Kingpin's good graces.
1023----
1024* AscendedExtra:
1025** Has a prominent role in Kingpin's ''Civil War II'' arc.
1026** In ''Infinity Wars'' (2018) he manages to get his hands on the Mind Stone and ends up becoming a somewhat important player in the event before making a deal with Dr. Strange.
1027* BeenThereShapedHistory: When he was working for the Fixer, Turk gave Jack Murdock the offer to take a dive. Jack refused, and [[DeathByOriginStory the rest is history]].
1028* BigBadWannabe: Increasingly slipped into this during Frank Miller's run. The guy stole PoweredArmor ''twice'' and still got treated as a joke by ol' hornhead.
1029%%* ButtMonkey
1030* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Was modeled after Creator/CarlWeathers' likeness.
1031* TheDragon: To Eric Slaughter, during Slaughter's introductory arc.
1032* IneffectualSympatheticVillain
1033* TheInformant: It eventually becomes a running joke throughout the superhero community.
1034-->'''[[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Winter Soldier]]:''' How do you hear about this stuff, anyway?
1035-->'''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}:''' People come to me. They trust me. I'm part of a community, so they know I'll look out for them.
1036-->'''Winter Soldier:''' That's great... but really, how?
1037-->'''[[Characters/CaptainAmericaHeroes The Falcon]]:''' He pays Turk $400 a month to keep him in the loop.
1038-->'''Hawkeye:''' No, I don't. (''It's $500'')
1039* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In ''Infinity Wars'', he willingly surrenders the Mind Stone to Dr. Strange after realizing that possessing an Infinity Gem tends to attract enemies that are WAY outside of his scope.
1040* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Managed to stab Daredevil in the ''Born Again'' story line.
1041* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he realizes that he and The Punisher are both at the same prison.
1042* RightHandAttackDog: Frank Miller's first issue (as writer) gave him one named "Brutus". He's never seen again after that issue, possibly because he moved on to a smarter master.
1043* SmallNameBigEgo
1044* VillainDecay: As an ordinary {{Mook|s}}, Turk was always pretty badly outmatched against Daredevil, but his first few appearances portrayed him as reasonably competent and pragmatic. Later issues had him taking levels in [[TookALevelInDumbass dumbass]] and [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]] to the point where he actually tried to team up with the ''Punisher'' just to make a rep.

1078* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's of average height while her husband is huge, both in height and width.
1079* OffingTheOffspring: Killed her own son Richard.
1080* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Has shown shades of this in certain continuities. The novel ''Forever Young'' saw Vanessa make a deal with Peter Parker (unaware of his role as Spider-Man) to help her find the Tablet of Life and Death to help her husband recover from his current catatonia in exchange for Vanessa providing medical aid for May Parker's current condition. While Spider-Man found out that the Tablet wouldn't help to heal the Kingpin as it essentially trapped the subject in a rapid cycle of aging and de-aging rather than healing anything, Vanessa still covered May's medical bills as she recognised that Peter had lived up to his end of the deal and it wasn't his fault that the Tablet wouldn't work.
