@Vance Astro:
Daredevil possesses the strength, speed, agility, and endurance, not to mention acrobatic and gymnastic skills, of an Olympic-level athlete. Through a combination of the tutelage of Stick and self-training, Daredevil is a master of a unique martial art form, which is a hybridized form of American boxing and the Japanese arts of ninjutsu, judo and aiki-jujutsu. Martial arts training has given him an immense degree of concentration and personal control over his body and energy, or Ki. Daredevil is also an accomplished criminal trial lawyer.
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.
Known powers: Daredevil possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. Daredevil's five sense are heightened to beyond that of even superhumanly enhanced sense. Although Murdock is blind, he can "see" by means of his "radar sense", which acts not unlike sonar. Daredevil is an Olympic level athlete and gymnast, possessing extraordinary agility, endurance, skill and balance. Daredevil's unique fighting style (a blend of ninjitsu, judo and American-style boxing) makes effective use of his Billy Club, which is used as both a baton and grappling hook
Daredevil is a superb athlete and gymnast, possessing extraordinary agility, endurance, skill and balance. Because a person's sense of balance is linked with their sense of hearing (similar to the way that taste is linked with the sense of smell), Daredevil's superhuman hearing also grants him superhuman balance. He has been know to run across and even jump up and down on hydro wires. This 'super balance' enhances Daredevil's acrobatic skills beyond even what a highly skilled but sighted athlete would possess.
The Daredevil is blind, but his remaining four senses are heightened beyond that of even superhumanly enhanced senses. Although Murdock is blind, he can "see" by means of his "radar sense", which acts not unlike sonar. Daredevil is an Olympic level athlete and gymnast, possessing extraordinary agility, endurance, skill and balance. His unique fighting style makes effective use of his Billy Club
Though he has no superhuman physical attributes beyond an enhanced sense of balance, Daredevil is a master of martial arts.[37] Having been trained by Stick, Daredevil is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant. His typical moves are unique blends of the martial arts of Ninjutsu, Jujutsu, Judo and stick fighting combined with American-style boxing while making full use of his gymnastics capabilities
These are from a half dozen sites I just quickly went to, including Marvel's own site, but not including this one which says the same thing. I also have an Official Marvel handbook in storage that says the same thing. Hmmm. Must be the sixties.
Gambit's superhuman physical levels means he's a step up from Matt. He has superhuman speed,agility, reflexes, stamina, etc..... The difference maker in this fight is that while Daredevil is used to fighting characters who are faster or stronger or whatever, that's usually their primary attribute, while for Gambit its secondary. These secondary abilities will allow him to avoid Daredevil long enough to either talk him down (he's ever so charismatic) or get a KO through kinetic explosions. And Gambit is very clever at using his environment, not to mention he has no qualms against fighting dirty. He's also fought and defeated more powerful characters, all superheroes have, its part of what makes them superheroes.
