Matthew Murdock was the son of a professional boxer named Battling Jack.

Sounds like a bad s.

But Check actually bunks because it was the only thing he was good at.

And he needed money to get his kids through school so that little man would have a better life than he did.

What a good dad is.

Pungent Babel vers gid met, still trained in secret with his father's exercise equipment, molding himself into a powerful fighter and an expert acrobats.

This new athletic ability would come in handy when he witnessed a blind man walking right in front of a speeding truck.

Feeling especially heroic that day, Matt dove in to push the guy to safety, but the truck crashed, sending some weird answered stuff flying all over man's face.

From that day forward, Matt was permanently blind kids.

Still, Matt did not give up on the dream his father wanted.

He earned his degree with flying colors and founded a law firm with his friend Foggy Nelson.

Things were actually looking up for him well, except for when his dad was killed by a mobster for ruining a rigged boxing men's because you can't be a superhero unless you have lost your parents.

Matt was distraught.

His world had come crashing down around him and he couldn't even see it happen.

But he could hear it.

Smell it, feel it.

Yeah, because turns out that radioactive goop didn't just blind men.

It gave him superpowers.

So he dressed up like the devil himself and literally scared the mobster to death.

And so daredevil was born.

Many blind people, particularly those born with experience, a rewriting of the brain, tightened their other senses somewhat, making up for their lack of sight.

Something similar happened to Daredevil except, like 100 times greater.

His touch became so sensitive he can tell when a person is close to him simply from the disturbance in the air.

His ears can pick up the faintest of sounds from the slightest movement of an enemy to the rising heartbeat of someone is lying.

His taste can detect each separate ingredient in any recipe, including poisons and his nose on track you down like a bloodhound who needs eyes when you can sense everything around you to this policy detail.

But he couldn't use his blind powers as well as he does without the training.

Under a super secret warrior named Stick.

No Relation With Sticks help, Matt mastered several fighting styles, including inju to Krav Maga and kung food, and get this stick head.

Basically the same blind powers is daredevil whoa!

Silk shoes.

Thanks to him, Matt learned how to hone his senses to know and maneuver through his surroundings even better than those with working eyes.

He also learned how to tap into something called in Adam induced radar sense.

Like the thing that bands doing, they bounce sound around you see in the dark or whatever sort of that sonar or echolocation and he can use it to.

But thanks to his radioactive origins, Daredevil can actually emit electromagnetic energy waves from his body, which bounce off objects in his vicinity, painting a picture of his surroundings in his head.

This means he doesn't need sound to find and take down opponents, so he's got a ton of ways to make up for his eye problems.

But he's also got some awesome gear to help him take out the bad guys like his devil suit.

That's bulletproof Chuck, proof flameproof and a perfect backup plan whenever he forgets the breath for a Halloween party.

Oh, speaking of which was this year, I'm dressing up in something so lame that it's terrifying.

Oh, what's that you owe?

Wait.

Is that why some of my lab coats were missing?

Uh, no.

Hey, come back next week and check out the full episode of Nightwing, Bert's Daredevil.
