Mathew Micheal Murdock
Gender: Male
Age: 35 years old
Orientation: Straight
Family: Jonathan Murdock (Father), Maggie Murdock (Mother),
Lovers: Mila Donovan, & Eleckra (Formerly), currently single
Affiliations: Currently Rogue, occasionally works for the Avengers or SHIELD
Description: Mathew stands at six foot evenly and is portrayed with dark, and short, charcoal black hair. He has white skin, but the unusual thing about him is that he happens to be blind. Despite this his eyes are an interesting blue feature that is still with him. Though he has a cane and acts like a handy capt most of the time he can get around just fine with his heightened senses such as hearing, feeling, taste, and sound all wrapped up into one. He also has dawned the costume Daredevil which is a bright red costume with the two Ds in his name that he received while he had gotten his nickname and kept it that way. He also has his mask covering his face as he can't see so there's not much of a point in showing that part. That and it keeps his identity a secret. he also wears sunglasses most of the time so people can often tell that he is blind that way as well or if he doesn't want to show his eyes to everyone.
Powers:
Superhuman Sensory System: Originally coming from his exposure to a radioactive isotope it was later rediscovered that Murdock's "Powers" can come from his natural aptitude and intense training at the hands of Stick. His powers have been so honed by years of training that when he fought Psylocke during the war between the Avengers and the X-Men, she was overwhelmed when she tried to read his mind and found herself experiencing all the information he received through his enhanced senses, demonstrating the scale of psychological training required for Murdock to operate on a normal human level.
Superhuman Touch: Murdock's sense of touch is so acute that his finger can feel the faint impressions of ink on a printed page allowing him to read by touch,[36] though laminated pages prevent him from touching and thus reading the ink impressions at a much faster pace than a normal person would be able to read.[37][38] The rest of his skin is equally sensitive, enabling him by concentration to feel minute temperature and pressure changes in the atmosphere around him. Even with his senses of smell and hearing blocked, he can feel the presence of a person standing five feet away from him simply by his or her body heat and disturbance of air. A side effect of his sense of touch is Murdock's ability to manipulate his muscles and internal organs. The sense of touch is not just external, but internal too (central nervous system), thereby giving him the ability to have total body control, increasing his strength and reflexes to peak human levels, increasing his agility to enhanced human levels and also giving him the ability to totally numb himself to pain.
Superhuman Smell: Murdock's sense of smell is so acute that he can distinguish between identical twins at twenty feet by minute differences in smell. He can detect odors of an atmospheric concentration of thirty parts per million. Further, his ability to remember smells enables him to identify any person he has spent at least five minutes with by smell alone, no matter how he or she might try to camouflage his or her natural odor. His powers of concentration are such that he can focus upon a single person's smell and follow it through a crowd of people at a distance of fifty feet.
Superhuman Hearing: Murdock's sense of hearing enables him to detect an acoustic pressure change of one decibel at a pressure level of seven decibels (whereas the lowest threshold for average human hearing is twenty decibels.) He can hear a person's heartbeat at a distance of over twenty feet, or people whispering on the other side of a standard soundproofed wall. Through practice, Murdock is able to control his hearing acuity, mentally blocking out specific sounds like his own breathing and heartbeat, all ambient sounds to a normal human level of perception, or all sounds but a particular sound he is concentrating upon.
Lie Detection: By listening, feeling and/or smelling, Murdock can tell whether a person is lying by sweat, changes in body temperature and heartbeats (though he can be fooled by a pacemaker and those able to keep calm under pressure.)[39]
Superhuman Taste: Murdock's sense of taste enables him to detect the number of grains of salt on a pretzel. His ability to remember tastes enables him to determine every ingredient of a food or drink he tastes, as long as there are at least twenty milligrams of that substance present.
Superhuman Balance: It is a common misconception that balance isn't a sense, but Murdock's balance centers give him equilibrium on par or above Spider-Man.
Telepathy: Due to Stick's training, Murdock has displayed minor telepathic abilities.
Radar Sense: A form of Human Echolocation via low wave projection, according to one theory, a energy within certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The signal emanates from sending regions of his brain, after which it travels outward, bounces off objects around him, and returns to receiving regions of his brain. In any event, with this ability, Murdock synthesizes a very close analogue of three-dimensional 360% human sight.
Radar Substitute: An offshoot to Radar Sense this ability is the combination of all other sense (Excluding Radar Sense) and can allows to increase the stability of it as well as to be used as a sub-par replacement.
Person Identification: All of Murdock's senses help identify people by the specific patterns of their heartbeat, smell, touch, sound, and even Radar appearance as it allows to "see" through objects, specifically clothes (Though albeit obscure).
Weaknesses:
Daredevil is blind. While his Senses help him overcome this, it becomes a problem for him to navigate and fight when his heightened senses are scrambled or can't detect anything.
Sense Precision: Daredevil's extent to discern pictures or video images are limited, and he can only guess at colors based on the amount of heat they are absorbing or reflecting. If nothing is being emitted (By a person or thing) that would trigger his heightened senses Daredevil wouldn't be able to detect it, like when a sniper bullet fired outside the range of his sense of hearing was able to badly injure him.
Sound and/or Smell Peak: Daredevil's superhuman senses render him extraordinarily vulnerable to odors and/or excessive noise, which can temporarily weaken his Radar Sense. Under extreme circumstances he can be easily immobilized, suffer great pain and/or left disorientated. Once the disruptive effects wear off, Daredevil's Radar Sense is able to return to its normal calibration.
Radar Sense Disruption: Though uncommon-- in unique situations (where multiple objects, sounds, temperatures, and smells, are in close proximity) Daredevil's Radar has been known to fail leaving him to rely on his other senses.
Non-Superhuman Physical Conditioning: As Daredevil's powers do not give him any kind of superhuman physical ability, Daredevil is as susceptible to physical injury and disease as any other normal human, often having to rely more on strategy than strength when up against a superhuman opponent.
History: He was raised alone by his father Johnathan Murdock, claiming that his mother had died. Jack had wanted Mat to be more successful than him, he pressed Mat to constantly study instead of playing sports with other kids. Jack hoped one day that he'd become a doctor or a lawyer instead of an "Uneducated pig" like himself. The neighborhood kids continued to bully Matt as he began to take on the nickname Daredevil as it seemed to fit him just fine. One day, Matt saw a blind man trying to walk across the street and he tried to push him out of the way as a truck came crashing on through. The contents of the truck leaked out and got on Matt, as it heavily injured his face, and caused him to go blind since the material was radioactive.
While Matt recovered in the hospital he noticed that his other senses such as feeling, taste, hearing and smell had been heightened to super human levels. While he was in the hospital he was visited by a nun that was called "Maggie" And some time later he'd discover that this nun perhaps was his missing mother that his father had been claimed to be dead. Still it seems there wasn't much known about this as Matt tries to find out more about his remaining family members.
Still he kept this a secret not wanting his father or the public to find out. He wanted to learn what he could do with these powers as he continued on, trying to do his best with his blindness. And over time he learned not to be helpless and learned his way around his home with ease like he had lived there all his life with sight. Soon Matt began to gain his confidence back. A few months later, he gained training as a ninja from the man known as Stick, and learned many martial artists moves and honed his ability to use his radar sense. Unfortunately his family was ripped from him once again, as Jack Murdock was found dead, shot an which it would later kill him on the spot. Still Matt searched for his father's killers and it wasn't long before he found the person behind it who was known as Fixer. He however did not kill Fixer as he wound up with a heart attack before the man could be confronted in a fight and collapsed.
Now on his own Matt decided to pursue a career at Columbia Law School where he gained his degree. At Columbia he met a woman named Elektra Natchios, and it was a first love for the both of them. However in one moment in their time together, the police killed Elektra's father leaving her alone and saddened as she withdrew from the world. Leaving him alone and Matt grew rather depressed and fell into one for some time. It seemed time managed to heal his wounds as he rested there. Daredevil still perused his career as a rogue trying to do his best as a hero, but he has noticed that perhaps it was time for him to die down for a bit. Occasinally Daredevil picked up a team job with heroes like Avengers or SHIELD.
But He notice that other heroes were starting to rise up and take charge. As he watched and listened from a distance, Daredevil figured it might be time to come back, stating that he never officially took a retirement moment but felt like there was going to be a moment when the world might've not needed a Daredevil. When he has indeed realized that he is needed.
