He can detect sounds, smells, tastes and touch sensations far beyond the normal human range by making an Intuition FEAT roll. He frequently listens to peoples' heartbeats in the same area he is in to determine if they are lying. People with pacemakers or those that have some con- trol over their body can fool Daredevil. If his senses are overloaded, as in a noisy crowd, his senses are only Incredible. RADAR SENSE: Daredevil can sense three dimensional objects up to two areas away. He can tell how massive an object is with this sense. However, it is not refined enough for him to detect details of the object. This sense oper- ates all the time, day or night. His radar sense can be overloaded by echoes or lots of little moving objects. This reduces his intuition to Incredible temporarily. LONE WOLVES INTRODUCTION Lone wolves.
