Exposure to a radioactive substance blinded young Matt Murdock, but he soon found that his other senses were amplified to superhuman levels. He also manifested a "radar sense" that allowed him to visualize his surroundings without relying on sight.
By day, Matt Murdock uses his law degree to defend those unjustly accused of crimes. By night, he protects his home neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen from criminals as Daredevil. Despite living through more personal tragedies than any man should be able to endure, Matt retains an optimistic, heroic outlook on life.
