Matt Murdock\u2019s superpowers may not be flashy, but Daredevil: Born Again<\/a> Season 2 has just made them a lot more impressive. Daredevil may be a world-class martial artist, but he\u2019s no mere vigilante; he\u2019s actually a superhero, complete with pretty impressive powers. Daredevil\u2019s so-called \u201cradar sense\u201d<\/a> is something akin to echolocation, giving Matt 360-degree pinpoint awareness, and it\u2019s complemented by other advanced senses too. It makes him rather hard to trick, as illusionist supervillains like Mysterio have learned the hard way.<\/p>\n

There are times when Daredevil\u2019s radar sense is a weakness as well as a strength, of course. It can get overwhelmed in motion-rich environments, not helped by sudden sounds hurting Matt\u2019s ears; we saw that in Born Again\u2018s premiere, when alarms on the boat left Daredevil uncoordinated for a moment. But the same scene also revealed a new way Matt can use his radar sense, one that is drawn more from Star Wars than the comics.<\/p>\n

In Star Wars, Mace Windu is noted for a Force power known as \u201cshatterpoint.\u201d A rare Jedi Force power<\/a>, this allows him to intuitively sense the weakness in any opponent, as well as the key moments that will redirect history and doom an enemy\u2019s plan. It\u2019s a cool mystical ability, but it also has a very practical application, because Mace can use it in day-to-day battles as well. He can sense the weakness in any physical material, meaning he has experience breaking apart apparently strong barriers with his bare hands. Mace Windu is a living weapon, and doesn\u2019t need a lightsaber.<\/p>\n

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2\u2019s premiere reveals Matt Murdock can use his radar sense in a pretty similar way. The radar sense is akin to echolocation, allowing him to sense subtle variations in thickness, and thus identify a weak spot in any barrier. In the premiere, he simply breaks through one door with almost-effortless ease after briefly taking a moment to assess it. It\u2019s shatterpoint by any other name, and Mace Windu would be proud.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to shatterpoint than just this physical element, of course, and Daredevil\u2019s creative use of radar sense is only a pale imitation of the Force power. But it certainly shows how much more experienced Daredevil is now, given he\u2019s never demonstrated this ability before. Even more intriguingly, he should be able to do something similar in a fight, using radar sense to spot weaknesses in an opponent\u2019s defense and old injuries to take advantage of. Daredevil\u2019s new and returning villains<\/a> will surely take every trick to defeat.<\/p>\n
