DareDevil, the Man Without Fear.  Frank Miller era (before the armor),
as seen by George Ruban, (gmn@csa.bu.edu).  Many stats at human max.

Background: 

	He can generate a 10 1/2 d6 (3 1/2 STR, 3 HA, 4 MA) strike, before
Pushing, Haymaker or Skill levels.  Not too bad for a low power hero.
At range it is only 6d6 (3 ranged STR, 3 ranged HA), which is still enough
to knock out a normal.

*	Giving points for the blindness.  I'm probably going to get the
most heat for this, as it doesn't seem to impair him much at all, and
almost everyone thinks that the hero is sighted.  However, there are a lot
of things he can't do.  He can't drive a car (wouldn't know when stoplight
was red or green), can't watch TV without touching the screen (and maybe
not even then), can't watch a movie at all, can't read a sign without
touching it, can't read over someone else's shoulder etc.
	How impairing is it for a superhero not to be able to drive?  For
those who can fly, not very.  But if, say, Spiderman or Iron Fist find out
that some children disappeared into the old cave 20 miles outside of town,
what would they do?  They change into secret id, drive their car there,
park it in some out-of-the-way place, change back to hero id, and go in.
DareDevil has to walk (can't swing - no buildings), have someone else drive
him (taxi driver next day reads story about DareDevil rescuing children,
"Hmm, didn't I drop off some guy not far from there?  I wondered why he was
going to the middle of nowhere."), or hope that there is a bus stop nearby.

Tactics:
	Swings and uses Acrobatics around city "looking" for crime. Subtle
hero: plays foes against each other.  Often disguises himself as a thug
(with a cap pulled over his face to hide the mask(!)) to get information. 
	In a fight against normals, stays out of gunfire line of fire,
picks off villains stealthily, one at a time, or by bouncing his club
through an improbable number of reflections and off of someone's head.
Especially effective at night or in the dark, because he can still "see" just
as well, while opponents can't.  Against villains, uses martial arts,
especially kicks.  Dodges almost every attack by using acrobatics.
	Most plot twists rely on his one super power: extraordinarily
enhanced senses, like radar.
