Who Is Daredevil?
Let’s take a closer look at our hero’s origin story. Matthew Michael “Matt” Murdock was raised by a single father Jack Murdock. His father was a boxer who made his living in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. Matt was mocked at school by his classmates for being a bookworm. They teased him by calling him ‘Daredevil’. So, he secretly trains himself to stand up to the bullies at school.
One day while he was walking down the street and saw that a blind man was about to get hit by a truck. He ran and pushed the guy out of the way but the radioactive waste that he was carrying got spilled out directly onto Matt’s eyes. This accident gave him a ‘Radar Sense’. After his father gets murdered by the Fixer’s men, he trains and seeks revenge against his father’s killers.
Daredevil holds some really quirky superpowers. He has a superhuman ability to act like a human lie detector since he has the ability to hear a person’s ability(pretty cool right!). He has a heightened sense of touch that gives him the ability to read words in print, as long as he can touch the ink. In addition to being pretty good at martial arts, he is also really smart. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the law, is a skilled detective, and is an expert marksman.
