Sonar
Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Daredevil)
Power/Ability to:	Perceive and interact with one's surroundings by use of sound waves underwater or through water.

"When it rains, it's like there's a rooftop on the world. Each raindrop makes a sound the first time it falls on a surface. Just then, it's like I-l... it's like I can see again. And I, just wanna...I just wanna see you."

― Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Marvel Comics)
