Name: Matt Murdock
Superhero identity: Daredevil
Age: 30
Brief History: Ever since he was born Matt was faced with adversity, his mother abandoned him for the church and he was raised exclusively by his father, famed boxer 'Battlin Jack' Murdock. Growing up in Hell's Kitchen Matt was surrounded by crime and fear, he constantly witnessed the consequences of injustice and a corrupt system. Matt's life took a dramatic turn when he pushed an old man out of the way of a truck carrying an experimental isotope, although the old man was saved Matt was blinded by the isotope. With one of his senses gone, his other senses compensated, however with the exposure to the radiation they compensated to such a degree that they reached superhuman levels.
While in hospital Matt was visited by a man named Stick who trained him to use his enhanced senses to become a powerful fighter. When Matt was old enough to attend college he went to Columbia university where he studied law desperate to bring justice to the place he had grown up in, his father fixing fights for the mafia in order to pay for his tuition. Eventually 'Battlin Jack' was asked to throw the fight of his career for a huge payoff, stubborn to a fault he refused to do so and the mafia, not appreciating his attitude decided it was time 'Battlin Jack' became one for the history books and gunned him down.
Matt, overwhelmed with anger at his father's death chased down the mob donning a homemade costume and the moniker "Daredevil", after bludgeoning the men who were responsible he became a costumed vigilante protecting hell's kitchen.
Nowadays Matt has graduated from Columbia and works at his law firm Nelson and Murdock, his career as Daredevil continues despite the tabloids constant attempts to out Murdock as the masked hero. Still fighting on the streets of New York, Matt is completely unaware of how bizarre he will find the next few months.
