** Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk explicitly refers to his powers as "echolocation", a term Matt almost never used to describe them in the show and seems to consider an oversimplification, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference even though it is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from it.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: After Nobu kills Elektra, Matt tosses him off the roof of the building they're on in an attempt to kill him, seemingly proving that if pushed enough, Matt ''will'' break his ThouShaltNotKill rule. However, when he has Fisk at his mercy by the end of Season 3, he ultimately decides not to kill him and let him face justice.

** Late in Season 3, he manages to break into Fisk's heavily-guarded hotel suite and has the perfect opportunity to assassinate him when he gets back. When he finds out that Fisk has located Karen and is going ti have her killed, however, he gives this opportunity up and goes to save her without hesitating. This shows that he cares way more about protecting the people he cares about more than stopping his enemies.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Minor case, but when a brick is thrown through the Parker's window Matt catches it, stunning the Parkers (and Happy) with the sudden and inexplicable display of superhuman reflexes. Which was completely pointless as, being Spider-Man, Peter's own hand was raised to catch the brick himself and would have done so if it had flown another few inches. There's a moment of clear regret on Matt's face as he realizes he just nearly outed himself for nothing.

* TranquilFury: It's clear he holds down a reserve of intense rage, but he keeps it firmly lidded. [[RageBreakingPoint Until he doesn't]].

* UncertainDoom: Like many other characters whose focus waned after their respective series' ended, Matt's status during the Blip was an unknown. [[spoiler:''Echo'' confirms that he survived the snap, and became active once more as Daredevil during those five years as he and Fisk were at each other's throats once again.]]
* UnstoppableRage: Matt's friendly and largely calm exterior masks deep, seething anger that turns him into a whirling dervish whenever he hits his RageBreakingPoint. When this happens, he'll tear through everyone in front of him and the last opponent will be beaten to within an inch of their life until he's gotten the last of his anger out. This is a well-known family trait (his father would use his rage to pummel boxing opponents) and the people of Hell's Kitchen would all say that the Murdock boys have the devil in them.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: His appearances in ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' and ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'' are this as the events that happened in his own series are largely disconnected from both stories.

** ''Echo'' establishes that not only did Matt survive Thanos's snap, but that he was active as Daredevil during the five year interim where half the universe was reduced to dust. Outside of briefly getting into a skirmish with the titular character and some of Fisk's goons, what else he did during that time period is unclear.

** In ''Echo'', Daredevil only appears in the very first episode to take down some of Fisk's goons, but his fight with Maya Lopez cements Wilson Fisk's faith that Maya will be a valuable asset to his organization.
