.:POWERS:.

Enhanced Senses
While Matt is totally blind, his other senses function at superhuman levels. For example, he can read by touch, sense changes in temperature and air pressure as they happen, remember any scent or taste he encounters, and hear a human heartbeat from 20 feet away. He can track individuals across great distances based on their scent, tell how long a body has been dead based on its temperature, etc.  He has deduced secret identities based on scent and hearing, and can tell whether or not people are related to each other based on their scent.  His hearing is his most accurate sense, so sensitive that he can tell whether or not a person is lying by listening to their pulse. However, his enhanced hearing is a duel-edged sword. Loud noises cause him great pain, and particularly busy locales can leave his senses feeling overwhelmed. He also has a lower threshold for pain than most people, due to his sense of touch being so developed.

Radar and Electromagnetic Awareness
Matt has a specialized 'radar sense' which functions similarly to echolocation. He is able to pinpoint the location of objects by listening to the reverberations made by ambient sounds against objects and people. This sense also allows him to detect other forms of electromagnetic waves. He is capable of detecting and identifying radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma to radio and all types in between. He can tell immediately if something nearby is radioactive, and if something nearby is giving off a radio signal, he'll know it, though he won't be able to understand the message being transmitted.

Ninja Skills
Matt is a member of the order of the Chaste, having received training in ninjutsu from his sensei, Stick. He has mastered the eighteen disciplines of the shinobi, and he is competent with katanas, spears, naginatas, kusarigama, knives, and projectiles, in addition to being an expert in wielding all types of stick weapons which range from staffs, batons, and nunchaku to paired eskrima sticks. He has combined his martial arts training with his gymnastics and boxing skills to form a hybrid fighting style, a true mix of East and West. Matt has learned basic pain control techniques, and meditation based self-healing techniques. He can also use a variety of pressure points to paralyze an entire body or certain parts of the body and can disable eye sight, speech, cause excruciating pain, or even death.


.:PERMISSIONS:.

Okay, so you've got an idea of what all Matt can do.  So, that being said, can Matt recognize you by scent/sound/etc.?  Does he have permission to deduce your secret identity?  Can he deduce familial relationships based on your scent? What do you smell like? Okay darlings, please fill out this happy little form if you'd like to answer any of these questions for me.
