Background:

• Matthew Michael Murdock was born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. His father, a washed-up boxer named Jack Murdock, taught him to fight but demanded he use his mind, not his fists. Matt obeyed, until the day Jack was murdered by mobsters for refusing to throw a fight.
• As a child, Matt saved a blind man from an oncoming truck and was hit by radioactive chemicals in the process. The accident blinded him, but amplified his other senses to superhuman levels. Left without sight but gifted with abilities no one else had, Matt trained in secret under Stick, a blind martial arts master.
• As an adult, Matt became a lawyer, vowing to uphold justice in the courtroom. But when the law fails, he becomes Daredevil (the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen) to deliver it in the streets.
