ENHANCED SENSES.

After exposure to radioactive material in his childhood, Matt lost his eyesight and gained extreme enhancements to all his other senses. He is capable of feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting to such unbelievable extremes that he can function as if he sees, sometimes even more precisely than even that. It is important to note that all of these senses work in conjunction and the loss of even one can leave him unbalanced and incapable very suddenly. He is also sensitive to any of his senses being overwhelmed and disrupted, again leaving him weakened and less capable than usual. His senses are as follows:

Enhanced Hearing. Matt has extremely sensitive hearing, and can hear conversations from blocks away, human heartbeats with enough specificity to know when they mean to attack and if they are lying, as well as a bunch of other ridiculous things. There are some downsides, though; he has to focus to hear things, especially the farther away they are, or quieter they happen to be. It also means that he's easily disoriented by loud noises he doesn't expect, and can be deafened by particularly loud noises.

Enhanced Smell. Matt is capable of identifying smells like food, body odor, decay, etc, with eerie specificity. For example he has claimed to know someone had garlic two days prior, or that they had not showered in a day and washed their face in his sink. He's also been able to smell things rooms away or with some sort of wall between them, such as identifying sand in a railroad car. I know, man, I know.

Enhanced Taste. If the first two weren't enough, Matt also has an enhanced sense of taste. He uses this very much in conjunction with his sense of smell. He has claimed to taste copper in the air when someone is bleeding, for example, which he likely smelled as much as he tasted. This sense is likely the least utilized of all of them, and hopefully he's not going to start licking things excessively to use his OP taste powers.

Enhanced Touch. Matt senses a lot of his world around him through his advanced sense of touch. He feels vibrations and temperatures and how they fluctuate and change, and with that begins to get a picture of a "world on fire" around him. He is even shown to be sensitive enough to feel electricity behind walls or depths and heights without actually seeing them.

Enhanced Balance. Partly enhanced through training, but also granted through his exposure to radioactive material, Matt has exceptional balance. He is able to complete complex moves, flips, and runs without losing his balance.

ABILITIES.
After losing his eyesight, Matt was trained by Stick to be a master in multiple arts of self defense. After being abandoned, Matt continued to train on his own, and is proficient in the following skills.

Extreme Endurance. This is partly because of his physical fitness and his training, however it is stated that he gets a lot of his ability to take a beating from his father. Matt has been able to sustain extreme injury and continue moving, and furthermore can be back on the street after a horrible fight in a day or so, even though he's likely still injured and in pain.

Peak Conditioning. Between all his punching, Matt works out and keeps his body as fit as possible. He has a low BMI and an extremely high endurance. He's able to burn extreme amount of calories without slowing much, and completes intense acts of physical exercise without losing his breath. He's not inhuman but he's absolutely at the top of what a human could be. Unless, of course, he's injured... and he often is.

Master Martial Artist. Stick trained him in many styles, and taught him a lot about parrying, hand to hand, and some exercises with weapons such as sticks, staffs, and swords. Matt's preference is to use fists or his own staff, though he's extremely capable of making a weapon out of anything he happens to have nearby. He was able to fight through trained ninjas, talented and brutal brawlers, and even able to overpower Fisk, a man double his size and a foot and a half taller than he is, even when Fisk was wearing some heavy armoring in his suit. Matt also uses his enhanced senses to spot weaknesses and exploit them, which gives him an advantage in many fights.

SKILLS.

Beyond his ability to hear dirt in a railroad car and capacity to feel someone's temperature across the room, Matt has a few other skills that are important to make note of.

Braille. Matt is able to read braille, which is possibly not a helpful skill all things considered, but there you go.

Accomplished Lawyer. Extremely intelligent and dedicated, Matt graduated summa cum laude at Columbia University. He's extremely talented, thoughtful, capable and persuasive... when he actually shows up to court, but most of the time he's either bleeding in his apartment or punching people.

Last but not least, I know his powers are ... well, they're ridiculous. They can be OP and unfun to play against if not handled correctly. So, I will have a permissions page asking what players would like Matt to be able to pick up and not diverge from that. I will also keep lines of communication between myself and others if he is going to use abilities on PCs and never use information without requesting input from players if they do agree to his ridiculous abilities. I will also ask for mod permission during events if I think his senses might help in a situation and I understand that it might be refused for the fairness of all players. I don't want to ruin the fun for anybody; most of the time, I use Matt's senses in the same way he does, so he can function despite the lack of his eyesight. Anything beyond that will be done with utmost care and consideration to my other players.
