Here’s a quick post to get back into the groove of things! Remember how Daredevil has shown the ability to sense a villainous aura? This is how he apparently recognized the evil behind The Owl, Purple Man and one of the many Misters Fear. And, in a recent issue of New Avengers, the aura concept was back again.

In the example below, however, from Daredevil #22 (volume 1), by Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Daredevil’s “evil sense” seems both oddly powerful and oddly specific. Daredevil claims to be able to determine that The Owl is not anywhere near New York. This is apparently because he can’t sense any “birdlike emanations.” Wu-huh? I don’t know what those are. I can’t even begin to guess. A very particular kind of aura? One that you can sense halfway across the city? And he does this with his radar sense? I guess only Stan Lee knows…
