## History

Matthew Murdock Jr. was born blind and enhanced from his father, Matthew Murdock, or better known as the original Daredevil. and taken under the care of him. But 3 days after Matthew Jr. was born, Matt filed a divorce from his wife, as Matt continued to protect the city as Daredevil. Matt Jr.’s older sister and himself lived without a mother.

At the age of 9, Matt started training his son martial arts without the aid of sight, but other senses. Matt Jr. was affected by his father’s words: “When I’m gone, the city can’t know that I, Daredevil, is gone. If they know, the city will be more unsafe. Thus, I’m training you before it happens.” This continues to go on with the family with sorrow, until Matt Jr. turns 16, both his sister and his father died in a car crash, brought down by a terrorist organization called Crosshairs.

Matt Jr. was brought to immense sorrow, but he remembers that the city can’t know that Daredevil is gone. He didn’t don the suit though, but instead creates his own, keeping the original color scheme.

After years of crime-fighting as the Blind Prince of Hell, a S.H.I.E.L.D agent offered him to join S.H.I.E.L.D. Matt Jr. accepted the offer, and now works at S.H.I.E.L.D. They provided him with gears and equipment to work.
