MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1964.

The series started with Matthew 'Matt' Michael Murdock being blinded by a radioactive substance, which, on the other hand, increases his remaining senses dramatically. Dressed in a special costume that disguises his identity, Murdock now uses these superhero powers to fight villains - mostly under the cover of the dark nights where he can 'see' better than his opponents. Murdock then presents himself as Daredevil. His nickname is The Man Without Fear.

The creators borrowed the main concept as well as the title from an earlier superhero. He was the brainchild of Jack Binder and Jack Cole, and that series lasted from 1940 to 1956.
