That's Right........ It's The Marvel-Us.........
DAREDEVIL
Otherwise known as Matthew Murdock, this Marvel character has been striking fear into the heart of the common-street criminal for over forty years. What exactly makes this character so special you ask? Well, first off he was blinded at a very early age which involved a car-accident and leaking of radioactive substances, over time Murdocks' other senses are heightened from the exposure. But that's not it, he is also noted as being an excellent athelete, gymnast, master acrobat, expert marksman. It also helps that his father was a professional fighter. But at a point, his father refuses to throw a fight that had been set up by one of the notorious gangs of Hells Kitchen in New York, so he is killed for his defiance. This is one of the elements that drives Matthew Murdock into the DareDevil persona, in order to avenge his fathers' death the vigilante will stomp-out the unhindered crime.
What other abilities does the DareDevil have?!- skilled detective
- tracker/interrogator
- hand-to-hand combatan
- martial artist and gymnast
- superhuman senses
- radar sense
- use of specifically-designed billy club.

One of the most "marvel-us" things to take note on DareDevil is that he is not overly extraordinary in comparison to other members of the Marvel Universe. Matthew Murdock is the definition of someone that rolls' with the punches despite the cards that he has been dealt. He had no control over the freak-accident that rendered him blind, but he took the new heightened senses from this accident and ran with them. Before long, Murdock was climbing on roof-tops and fighting crime. Instead of living life simply blind and helpless, he found a way to still contribute to society. Everyone can take a lesson from the DareDevil. If he can contribute to society while being blind, then none of society has a valid excuse (fictionally speaking of course). So the next time that life hands us lemons, remember to shut your eyes and make lemonade! Check out the following clip to see more of an origin story on the DareDevil!
