How Did Daredevil Get His Powers?
As depicted in Marvel Comics and in the 2015 Netflix series, Daredevil got his powers when he was a young boy from an accident where hazardous material was spilled onto his face causing him to go blind.
Matt spotted a blind man walking toward an oncoming truck and he pushed him out of the way. Unfortunately, the truck crashed and spilled a radioactive isotope over Matt’s face which blinded him.
The radioactive material he was exposed to caused Matt’s other senses to be heightened, especially his hearing, however, his taste, smell, and touch were also enhanced.

Daredevil Powers and Abilities
Matt also developed a “radar sense” described as echolocation in the television series, that allows the vigilante to form a mental picture of his surroundings based on sound and movement.
Daredevil is also an expert combatant thanks to his training from ninja master, Stick, who was also blind. Under Stick’s guidance, Matt was able to develop an impressive display of acrobatics and martial arts.
A number of Matt’s skills as a vigilante also help his lawyer work, including the ability to sense when someone is lying by their sweat and identifying people based on specific patterns and heartbeats.
