Also, I just finished watching Daredevil and I realized that ALL FOUR of Daredevil's other senses were heightened when he was blinded. That's right, people, Matt Murdock has SUPERTASTE. Canonically. It says so right on his Marvel website (on the side where it lists 'Powers'). A small excerpt:
[Daredevil's] sense of taste is sharp enough to enable him to detect the number of grains of salt on a pretzel. (This is useful...how?)
Now that's a superpower you don't hear about every day. I mean, what would the ramifications of supertaste be? Can he only comfortably eat really bland food? Is he like the Auditors in Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time - a taste of a cherry liqueur chocolate would overwhelm him to death? The Marvel website seems to imply not, but WHAT DO THEY KNOW. I bet they don't even have a taste scientist (tongue doctor?) on staff. That's just irresponsible, disseminating questionable scientific information to the young people of today. YOU KNOW WHO IS VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS.
So if you'll excuse him, Daredevil is going to go sob himself to sleep in my backyard. Again.
