Blinded in a childhood accident, Matt Murdock gained infinitely more than he lost. With his other senses enhanced to a superhuman degree, he can feel the thudding of a panicked heartbeat from yards away and dodge bullets by the sound of their passage through the air.

By day, he defends the defenseless as superstar attorney Matthew Murdock. By night he keeps watch over the their sleeping forms as the fearless Daredevil, scourge of the underworld. In either guise he bears his own tragedies and the tribulations of those he protects with equal weight, never forgetting that the cause of justice requires constant sacrifice.

For decades, Daredevil has haunted the dark places of New York’s Hell’s Kitchen, defending his neighborhood against criminals and gangsters looking to make a buck off of the misfortune of the weak. He was raised here among the riotous noise and the stench of a hundred butcher shops, and it is here that he always returns. He belongs to the streets as much as they belong to him.

Most mutants can pass as human, and most do in order to remain hidden and safe among the humans that vastly outnumber them. Not so Kurt Wagner. On the very day of his birth he was pursued out of his home by fearful humans, and flung from a cliff. Miraculously saved, he was raised in a small circus by a tightly knit troupe of acrobats and sorcerers, surrounded by love and protected from the outside world

All good things must pass, however. Kurt would never again know a time as happy as he had in this tiny, Bavarian circus. His adult life has been spent in battle, first with the X-Men, and later with Excalibur. Though he has found safety and family among his fellow mutants, that safety has come with the price of constant vigilance. Now known as Nightcrawler, he is more than happy to fight for the freedom of his brethren.
