Origin Stories

Daredevil gained his superhuman senses after being blinded by a radioactive substance as a child. This accident heightened his remaining senses to superhuman levels, giving him a radar sense that allows him to "see" the world around him. Wolverine's origin is tied to the Weapon X program, where he was subjected to experiments that bonded the indestructible metal adamantium to his skeleton and claws. This process also erased many of his memories, leaving him with a mysterious past.
