Wacky Power #24 – Another case of flight radar
Welcome back to another installment in the Wacky Powers series in which we look at Daredevil doing truly strange things. Once again, we’ll be looking at
Wacky Power #23 – Flying a plane. Again
Considering Daredevil’s blindness, the number of times he’s found himself flying some kind of aircraft is pretty astounding. And to be clear, any number higher than
Wacky Power #22 – “Birdlike emanations”
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
Wacky Power #21 – The aura sensing is back!
So yes, I’ve been giving Brian Bendis a hard time lately. Some day soon, I’ll make up for it by posting my top ten moments from
Wacky power #20 – The human Geiger counter
Wow, can you believe Daredevil has (had) so many wacky powers that this series is now up to twenty posts? Well, this probably won’t be the
Wacky power #19 – “I sense a phone call”
What’s this, you ask? Two phone-related wacky powers back to back? Why yes! Some of you may recall Wacky power #18 which saw Matt perform a
Wacky power #18 – Psychic hotline
You know those numbers you can call to have someone read your fortune or give you advice on a pressing matter? I’m not going to get
Wacky power #17 – Sensing color by touch
In his most recent review of Daredevil #106, Robert of the Matt Murdock Chronicles discussed an instance of Matt talking about his color sensing ability, and
Wacky power #16 – I can watch porn with my hands
Here’s another hand on screen moment. These are rare (probably because they should be impossible), but we saw a couple of instances of reading computer screens
Wacky power #15 – Heat sensing and the groovy stuff you can do with it
Here’s an example from Daredevil #131, by Marv Wolfman and Bob Brown (with Klaus Janson on inks), of Daredevil doing something he’s presumably quite good at:
Wacky power #14 – Discerning photographs
I have a couple of panels ready for this post and the distantly related “seeing goof” I’ll get to next, so I thought I’d just get
Wacky power #13 – X-ray vision
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like Daredevil’s radar sense penetrating solid objects. Now, don’t get me wrong, if we are in fact
Wacky power #12 – Daredevil lands the Avenger’s Quinjet
The careful observer may remember one of the very first posts in this series, in which Daredevil lands a rocket guided only by his uncanny senses
Wacky power #11 – Reading computer screens… by touch
Since this one came up in the comments section of a previous post, and I’ve been thinking of posting it for a while, I decided to
Wacky power #10 – Daredevil: paleobotanist
Here is another panel from Daredevil #12, suggested a while back by fellow DD fan Francesco (*waves*). This panel is funny for a couple of reasons…
Wacky power #9 – What time is it really?
Well, I thought I’d get back to posting again with a couple of wacky power posts, just to warm up. This one, from Daredevil #12 (Vol
Wacky power #8 – Daredevil “senses” something (again)
Yes, another unscheduled post that I just had to write. Before getting to the wacky power of the day, I also thought I’d mention that the
Wacky power #7 – Speedreading
Okay, you know all those websites that supposedly teach you how to read at incredible speed? They ususally focus on things like cutting down on sub-vocalizations
Wacky power #6 – bending steel
Okay, some people are going to hate me for this, but… having a heightened sense of touch does not allow you to bend steel unless you
Wacky power #5 – Doctor, will my internal antenna give me a brain tumor?
This is one of the wackiest of them all. This is ability is wacky to the point of later having been outright denied in other sources.
Wacky power #4 – Daredevil, art scholar?
Okay, time for one of those wacky powers again! This is from issue #235, written by Danny Fingeroth (his only work on the title) and pencilled
Wacky power #3 – may I read your aura?
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the word sense (noun) is defined as follows: “Mechanism by which information is received about one’s external or internal environment. Stimuli
Wacky power #2 – Daredevil lands a rocket
Well, this is not so much an example of a wacky power as just a case of Daredevil using his powers in wacky ways. You see,
Wacky power #1 – sensing the microvoltage of the human brain
We’ll start with the power that you often find on various lists, but has never, to my knowledge, been seen in the pages of Daredevil. You
