Daredevil
Daredevil is a comic book character that first appeared in Daredevil #1
Matthew Murdock is a blind defense attorney by day, and the vigilante protector of Hell's Kitchen by night.
He dwells in a world of eternal night, but the blackness is filled with sounds and scents, tastes and textures that other men cannot perceive. For though attorney Matt Murdock is blind, his other four senses function with super-human sharpness, his uncanny radar senses guide him past every obstacle. He stalks the streets at night, a relentless avenger of justice; Daredevil, the man without fear.Origin
Jack became an enforcer for a crook and boxing manager named The Fixer. The Fixer promised Jack rigged matches for Jack to win to revive his boxing career for helping the Fixer. Eventually Jack earned a title match but the Fixer tells Jack that he has to throw the game. With Matt in the crowd, Jack did not want to throw the fight and ends up winning by knockout. Fixer would end up killing Jack for not throwing the fight.
After the death of his father, Matt became disappointed in the Judicial System for not being able to convict the man who was obviously responsible. Matt kept his father’s promise not to lead a violent life, and decides to create a costume and use a new identity to fight for justice. He made his black and yellow costume out of his father’s boxing robes. Matt makes his appearance finally as a fighter for justice named Daredevil. Daredevil eventually tracks down the Fixer and the men who murdered his father and sends them to prison. Knowing that he could do good with his abilities, and fight for justice both in and out of the court Matt decided to make his Daredevil persona a permanent one.
Life as Daredevil
While Matt continued work as Daredevil, he continued to study in his school work and would eventually graduate at the top of his class. After college, he and his best friend Foggy Nelson, would open their own law practice named Nelson & Murdock. They would then hire Karen Page to become their secretary. During his adventures as Daredevil, he has teamed up with Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Black Widow. In his early days Matt has fought villains such as the Masked Mauder, Gladiator, Electro, Jester, Mr. Hyde, Stilt-Man, and Bullseye. Bullseye would later become one of Daredevil’s most hated villains. Bullseye was responsible for the death of Elektra. She was later revived by Stone, an ally of Stick.
When Black Widow and Matt fell in love, the two moved out to San Francisco and lived with each other. They lived together for awhile but Black Widow did not like playing Daredevil’s sidekick. She wanted to stay a solo heroine and ended up ending their relationship. Afterwards, Matt moved back to Hell’s Kitchen and Matt and Black Widow remain friends.
Life’s Not Fair
Later Karen Page returns as a heroin-addicted porn star, she sells Daredevil’s secret identity to the Kingpin. Kingpin uses his newly found information to make Matt’s life a living hell. He destroys his reputation as a lawyer, blows up his house, and almost makes Matt go insane. Matt and Karen were able to reunite at the end as lovers.
Daredevil later encounters Mysterio who is dying from cancer due to overexposure to his mist. Mysterio tries to make Daredevil save his life by making him believe that he was trying to save a reborn baby Jesus. Mysterio also hires Bullseye to attack the church and would battle Daredevil. In the end, Karen Page was killed by Bullseye. Later, a man would appear to have killed Kingpin under the order of Vanessa Fisk, then he would exchange Daredevil’s identity FBI protection. The story gets printed in the Daily Globe and Matt is outed as Daredevil. Matt tries to deny the allegations by filing a libel lawsuit against the newspaper. Matt would later hire Luke Cage and Jessica Jones to become his bodyguards. Things do not get any better when he was defending White Tiger in a case which he was not actually innocent. White Tiger was found guilty of manslaughter and ran out of the courtroom, resulting in the police shooting him to death.
The New Kingpin
Matt would later meet a blind woman named Milla Donovan. He quickly falls in love with her and the two began dating. While this was happening, Owl had been trying to become the new Kingpin by selling MGH ( Mutant Growth Hormone). Later Daredevil discovers that the Kingpin was actually not dead and Daredevil would soon confront him. He beats Kingpin to a pulp badly that sends him to the hospital, Daredevil proceeds to claiming Hell’s Kitchen to himself and declares him the new Kingpin.
Later Matt was able to win his case against the Daily Globe which rewarded him with a multi-million dollar settlement, which he invests in a local community for the children. Matt would then marry Milla Donovan, but later Ben Urich would try to convince Matt that he had a nervous breakdown due to the death of Karen Page. This resulted in Milla annulling their marriage. Matt would later be arrested and imprisoned in Ryker’s with the allegation that he was Daredevil again. While in prison, Matt was able to hear and was unable to stop Foggy being killed inside the prison. Meanwhile, there was a new Daredevil jumping around rooftops in Hell’s Kitchen. Later Matt was able to escape from Ryker’s thanks to the Punisher who pretended to take Matt hostage during the riot. After Matt was free, he took his mantle of Daredevil again and went to search the mysterious new Daredevil. He finally encounters him and discovers that it as his friend from Heroes For Hire, Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist. He hoped that with him dressed up as Daredevil, it would clear any connection Matt had with Daredevil.
Out of Prison
With Fisk gone, many would-be supervillains want to fill in as the new Kinpin. One such character is Mr. Fear who's first move was to distribute a drug that makes the person a death-defying psychotic. And in order to make Daredevil's life more miserable, Mr. Fear gave the same drug to his wife Milla Donovan. But Daredevil could not be more busy in crime-fighting because of his recent confrontation with the The Hood, who also want to fill in as the new Kingpin.
Other Daredevils
During the events of Civil War, Daniel Rand (Iron Fist) masqueraded as Daredevil and supported Captain America's Secret Avengers.
After Elektra was killed and she was revealed to be a skrull, the criminal organization known as the Hand was left without a leader and fell into chaos as all the higher ups started fighting amongst themselves over who would replace her. A new assassin going by the name of Lady Bullseye was sent to New York in order to destroy everyone in Matt Murdock's life. In a moment of weakness Matt has a one night affair with Dakota North and she becomes his alibi for a murder Lady Bullseye framed him for. Lady Bullseye kills Black Tarantula and White Tiger then resurects them as assassins to serve the Hand. She tries to kill Iron Fist but fails, and later impersonates a lawyer and represents Milla Donovan's parents in a custody battle and they use pictures taken of Matt and Dakota together. An ancient martial arts master known as Master Izo shows up at Matt's house and tells him that he is going to help him destroy the Hand. After a battle between against the Hand ninjas and Lady Bullseye herself, it is revealed that she came to America to destroy all of his emotional connections so that he could become the new leader of the Hand. Daredevil refuses and she leaves for Spain.
Return of the King
Wilson Fisk returns to America after finally finding sanctuary in Spain, a love and also death, his girlfriend and her kids are murdered by Lady Bullseye. Kingpin returns to New York to start a war with The Hand and offers a partnership to Daredevil who is still trying to take custody of his wife, Milla Donovan, from her parents. Fisk meets with Matt to ask for his help in defeating The Hand and Lady Bullseye and agree's to help after hearing about Wilson's life in Spain and what had happened between him and Lady Bullseye. After meeting with Daredevil, Kingpin breaks the Owl out of jail so he could meet with Lady Bullseye and take out up-and-coming gangsters. Daredevil tells Master Izo about the deal he made with Wilson Fisk and immediately takes a disliking to it. After months of erratic behavior Foggy is fed up and tries to confront Matt, Matt met Foggy at his house but not in time to intercept a call Wilson Fisk had made to Matt and so Foggy found out he was working with the Kingpin. Because Matt has been avoiding many meetings with milla's parents and leaving all the work to him and not showing up to work, Foggy took it a little too far and he fires Matt from the law firm.
After being fired Matt has been away from home and looking for Master Izo,meanwhile Kingpin seemingly double-crossed Daredevil by hiring using the Owl to hire the Hand to get rid of Fisk's competition for power and eventually meet with Lady Bullseye to make a deal (which is still unknown). Foggy Nelson was put on a hit list by the Owl.
Leader of the Hand
During a confrontation with the leader of the Hand, a fight ensured and in the end Daredevil was proclaimed leader of the clan he had fought throughout his entire hero career. Later when Lady Bullseye is sent by the Kingpin to frame Daredevil; she impersonates a hand ninja and kills a few of Osborn's employees. Out of revenge he sends his Dark Hawkeye to take care of Daredevil in his Bullseye persona. The two end up battling on a condemned building; only for Bullseye to blow the building up killing hundreds of innocent people. Swearing revenge Matt Murdock realizes that with Osborn in control he has to play by a different set of rules.
Powers
Upon losing his sight, Daredevil's other senses have been greatly enhanced. He can 'read' the impressions on a printed paper with his fingertips. He can detect changes in the body temperature and can determine if and how long a body has been dead. He can distinguish people by their scents and heartbeat. This ability allows him to detect if someone is lying. His sense of taste is highly acute. Most important is his "radar sense" which gives him sonar type abilities. He can sense vibrations all around him which helps him determine fairly exact readings of his surroundings. Daredevil's main downfall is he can be overwhelmed and subsequently disoriented by excessive noise. He is highly trained in different styles of fighting such as boxing and ninjutsu. Matt carries a cane which doubles as a billy club which contains several feet of high tension cable.
Daredevil is an Olympic level athlete with extraordinary balance, skill, agility, and endurance. Daredevil was discovered young by a man named Stick. Stick was a martial arts master and trained Matt to polish his abilities and become a highly skilled hand to hand combatant. He is a Master of various oriental martial arts and American boxing. His training regiment consists not only of fighting and agility drills, but also includes weightlifting. Daredevil is extremely strong, able to lift/press 450 lbs. Due to Daredevils heightened senses, it makes him highly tuned to his body and increases both his coordination and balance well beyond that of the average man. He has uncanny control over his body and senses making feats that seem impossible very easy for him to do, hence the name Daredevil.
