History

Matthew Murdock (Earth-92131) from Spider-Man (1994 animated series) Season 3 6 004

A young Matt Murdock after being blinded.

Matt Murdock's father, Jack Murdock, was a boxer. However, to support his young son he became a crook working for a mobster. Shortly after, Matt was accidentally bombarded by radiation from a canister of radioactive waste materials, which was being illegally transported through the city on behalf of the Kingpin. As a result, Matt was blinded, and Jack sought revenge on the Kingpin, but whilst collecting evidence he was caught by the Kingpin, who had him killed.

Meanwhile, Matt discovered that his loss of sight had enhanced his other senses of smell, touch and taste. He was puzzled by a seemingly natural radar that he had adopted, but was trained to control it when he met a mysterious man who called himself Stick. Matt became the vigilante known as Daredevil, seeking revenge on the man responsible for the loss of his father, the Kingpin.

Matt also became a lawyer and one of his clients was Peter Parker, who had been framed by the Kingpin, and considered a traitor to his country. Parker was kidnapped from prison by Richard Fisk as part of the plot, and almost executed before being saved by the Daredevil, who allowed him to hide in Matt's apartment. Daredevil and Spider-Man teamed up to clear Peter Parker's name, which was successful, although the Kingpin managed to escape. Matt then vowed to leave New York and collect enough legal evidence against the crime lord.[1]

During Magneto's global blackout, Daredevil stopped looters in Hell's Kitchen. When the magnetic fields were forcibly restored, a Prime Sentinel blasted Daredevil through a storefront window, right next to Josie's Bar. Cloak and Dagger then came to his assistance and covered him. As he was getting up, the Prime Sentinels' connection with Bastion was severed, frying them.[2]
