Later on, he acquires a harness from Black Panther that allows him to fly like them. | | Base of Operations: | San Francisco, CA; formerly Hell's Kitchen, New York, NY; Shadowland | Base of Operations: | Avengers Mansion, New York, NY; formerly S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier | | Teams: | New Avengers, Defenders, S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Knights, Secret Avengers | Teams: | Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., "Defenders for a Day," Heroes for Hire, Mighty Avengers | | Signature Lines: | "Sometimes, I think I accomplish more with my fists than with my law firm. Sometimes, I don't really care. All I know is that the Kitchen's quiet tonight......and that's good. Thanks, Pop. Happy Father's Day." | Signature Lines: | "Ever since I can remember, I've been nuts about birds!" | | Arch-Enemy: | The Kingpin/Wilson Fisk | Arch-Enemy: | The Red Skull | | Sidekick(s): | Franklin "Foggy" Nelson | Sidekick(s): | Redwing | | Paramour(s): | Elektra (Natchios)/Milla Donovan | Paramour | Leila Taylor | | Has Been Played By: | Rex Smith, Ben Affleck, Charlie Cox, almost Ben Carruthers | Once Played By: | Anthony Mackie | | Could Have Been Played By: | David Caruso | Could Have Been Played By: | Carl Weathers | | Song I Think Of: | "Fearless Heart" | Song I Think Of: | "Time for Me to Fly" | | Supernatural Powers: | Hears, smells, tastes, and feels with superlative sensitivity and accuracy. Senses his environment through some kind of sonar/radar/echolation ability arising from his super-senses. He can read by touching a page. He recognizes someone he knows by his distinctive smell and heartbeat, so your secret identity is not so secret, mask or no mask. He knows if you're lying, too, kid, so he's sort of a superpowered interrogator. | Supernatural Powers: | He can psychically link up to birds. This doesn't just give him control to summon them for a fight, but he can, like, see through their eyes when he concentrates. Got a missing kid in New York City? This guy can search the town in minutes. He's got a solar powered flight harness that is controlled cybernetically and allows him to fly fast, far, and skillfully in close quarters. It also has a talon that allows for grappling and a thrust capablity for sweet takoffs and soft landings. | | Non-Super Abilities: | DD's a master of many martial arts, using his non-visual senses to detect his enemy's moves. He's an ace gymnist/rope swinger, with a billy club that turns into a weapon or a swinging cable as needed. Also, you need a fancy pants criminal lawyer? DD knows his stuff. | Non-Super Abilities: | Dude can fight. He's tough and courageous and loyal and emotional and as sweet as his suit is, it takes a skilled arialist like himself to operate it. He can train birds, he's a good acrobat, and his hand-to-hand training is under the tutelage of Captain 'Merica himself. | | Weaknesses: | He's blind. Beyond that, supersenses can be a weakness, and he can be overcome or disoriented by very strong sounds and smells. Does DD have you cornered? Well, perhaps you might want to fart your way out of trouble. It's worth a try. | Weaknesses: | His suit can deflect small arms fire, but a big gun can take him down. As his flying ability is all in the harness, what you want to do is take one of those wings out of commission and let gravity do the job for you. He's a man. He will go down hard like a ton of bricks. |
