before he became the man without fear
Matthew Murdock was the son of a
professional boxer named battling Jack
sounds like a badass but Jack actually
boxed because it was the only thing he
was good at and he needed money to get
his kid through school so that little
Matt would have a better life than he
did ah what a good dad his pungent
feeble verse did Matt 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 Dovan to push the guy to safety but
the truck crashed sending some weird
hazard stuff flying all over Matt's face
from that day forward Matt was
permanently blind
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
match because you can't be a superhero
unless you've 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 cuz turns out that
radioactive goop didn't just blind fat
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 it experienced a rewriting of
the brain to heighten their other senses
somewhat making up for their lack of
sight something similar happened in
daredevil
except like a hundred 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 who's
lying his taste can detect each separate
ingredient in any recipe including
poisons and his nose can track you down
like a bloodhound who needs eyes when
you can sense everything around you to
the smallest 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 them - to Krav
Maga and kungfu and get this stick head
basically the same blind powers as
daredevil
[Music]
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 an atom induced radar sense like
the thing that bands do and they bounce
sound around is seeing the dark or
whatever sorta that's sauna or
echolocation and he can use it too 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 even eat sound to find and take
down an opponent so he's got a ton of
ways to make up for his eye problem but
he's also got some awesome gear to help
him take out the bad guys like his devil
suit that's bulletproof shock proof
flame proof and a perfect backup plan
whenever he forgets to prep for a
Halloween party oh speaking of which
whiz this year I'm dressing up is
something so lame that it's terrifying
oh what's that you oh oh wait is that
why some of my lab coats are missing No
