The "Daredevil" series starts with a nine - year - old Matt Murdock who saves a man from being hit by a truck carrying toxic waste labeled "TYP A - Hazardous Materials." He ends up receiving chemical burns that make him blind, but heighten his other senses.
How old was Matt Murdock when he lost his eyesight?
The son of professional boxer “Battlin” Jack Murdock, Matt Murdock was blinded at the age of nine when he pushed an old man out of the way of a runaway chemical truck.
The main character, Matt Murdock (Daredevil), became blind after an incident involving a chemical spill when he was a child. The accident gave him superhuman senses and the ability to navigate the world in a different way.
While growing up in the historically gritty or crime-ridden working class Irish-American neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen in New York City, Matt Murdock is blinded by a radioactive substance that falls from an out-of-control truck after he pushes a man out of the path of the oncoming vehicle.
However! Daredevil #1 also tells us that Matt was eight years old in 1950, and #53 (a later retelling of his origin) specifies that he became Daredevil in 1964, thus making him 22. In #82, he says that he has been Daredevil for four years, so we can assume at that point he was 26.
Logan's superhuman senses allow him the ability to see, hear and smell in a far more heightened manner than the average person, with his hearing only a little less powerful than Marvel's Daredevil and his superhuman senses.
With time and training he has honed that ability to a point that he can “see” objects with his hearing. Accident which left him blind, also developed kind of echolocation skill, which is called radar sense to be precise. This skill + rest of his heightened senses allows Daredevil to move like he's totally normal guy.
#8, Spider-Man villain Electro learns that Daredevil is blind and tells the world. Since criminals now know how to overwhelm his super senses, Daredevil agrees to an operation that restores his sight – but takes away his superhuman senses.
Jackie Murdock was the son of Matt Murdock, the vigilante known as Daredevil and mayor of San Francisco, who had been born apparently without a trace of his father's super powers. Shortly after Jackie's birth, Matt retired from his super hero career.
After forming Nelson & Murdock, Foggy hired Karen Page to be their secretary. Both Matt and Foggy were instantly smitten with the beautiful young woman. Karen and Matt fell in love, but his secret life as Daredevil always came between them.
In Daredevil #3 (vol 1), he says that he was fifteen when he went blind. In The Price (Daredevil #223, vol1, see yesterday's post), he mentions that he was “barely into my teens” at the time.
Matt would continually do ridiculous things to keep his identity safe, such as the time he completely made up having a twin brother, Mike Murdock. It only got weirder when that brother took on a life of his own. Mike Murdock first "appeared" way back in 1967's Daredevil #25 by Stan Lee and Gene Colan.
Leader of The Chaste, a warrior order, Stick trains a generation of heroes and fights alongside them to seek destruction of The Hand. While he's mainly known as the man who trained Daredevil, Stick is a character who has his own rich history of fighting evil.
Daredevil is one of Marvel's most skilled hand-to-hand fighters, earning him the respect of heroes such as Captain America, and Matt's encounter with U.S. Agent has even confirmed that he could successfully take down the super soldier if he ever tried.
Not only is Batman's takedown of Bullseye a clear indication of his superiority over Daredevil, but Bullseye even says so himself, meaning there is no doubt that the Batman vs Daredevil debate has been ended for good in this iconic Marvel and DC crossover–and Batman was the one who came out on top.
Daredevil proves to be the better strategist when he first knocks out Peter by ricocheting his billy club, but it could be argued that he couldn't accomplish this without his new powers. However, his second victory over Spider-Man is a result of his strategic mind, something he's possessed long before gaining powers.
When Matt's older and he adopts his secret persona and begins to seek vengeance, he creates his suit from the boxing robes his father once wore. That's where the yellow color began. The Netflix series stayed fairly true to this origin.
This is very simple: He is, in most regards, a normal human being with normal human needs. The need to sleep appears to be a universal traits among all higher animals. There is nothing in his tool box of heightened senses that would negate this. So yes, Daredevil sleeps.
As revealed in 1993's Daredevil: The Man Without Fear #1 by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr., it was none other than Matt's own mother who first graced him with the kind of care and understanding that he would come to revere as an indelible part of his Catholic faith.
Daredevil wins, faster stronger and more skilled. Deadpool has a great healing factor but that doesn't really help that much against being knocked out by Daredevil.
Both fighters lacked any significant superpowers, and both seemed even with their abilities. Sure, we couldn't help but notice Batman was a little stronger and smarter and Daredevil was a little quicker in both physical and reaction speed. However, Daredevil had one ability that Batman did not: Sensitive hearing.
