Daredevil star Charlie Cox says the Marvel hero has an extra power that nobody discusses
Daredevil actor Charlie Cox thinks Matt Murdock’s powers include enhanced emotions

When Matt Murdock was blinded as a child, everything changed. The chemical wastes took his eyesight but changed his body forever. In addition to giving him a unique radar sense, the chemicals heightened Matt’s sense of touch, smell, hearing, and taste.
Is it possible that the chemicals changed the Marvel Comics hero in other ways? Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil on the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, was recently asked if Matt experiences heightened emotions.
“I do, yeah. I do think so,” Charlie Cox answered during the Daredevil: Born Again panel at C2E2 2026. “That’s a really good question. No one’s ever asked me that before. Yeah, I do think that, as a byproduct of all the physical sensory stuff, he feels things deeply. And what a great question. No one has ever asked that.”
Wilson Bethel, who plays Bullseye, says this would explain why Daredevil’s love life is chaotic. “Also, have you seen how much booty this guy gets? Yeah, he has a heightened physical sensation,” Bethel says.
So, does Daredevil have extraordinary emotional perception? That's a subject that's never really been covered by comic book canon, but we're open to someone changing that any time soon. In the meantime, Daredevil: Born Again is currently streaming on Disney+.
