* CelebrityParadox: In ''Film/IronMan3'', ''Series/DowntownAbbey'' is said to be Happy Hogan's favorite show and an episode of it is played on his hospital TV near the end of the film. Creator/CharlieCox played the Duke of Crowborough in the first episode of the show and to make things weirder, Happy would eventually meet Matt and hire him as his attorney in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.

* BaritoneOfStrength: Cox puts on a very deep voice while playing Matt in both his civilian and superhero identity.

* BadassBaritone: Cox puts on a very deep voice while playing Matt in both his civilian and superhero identity.

* AdaptedOut: Her romantic relationship with [[Characters/MCUNatashaRomanoff NatashaRomanoff / The Black Widow]] is entirely omitted and the two never met as Matt didn't appear in the main MCU until after she died.

* ChickMagnet: Karen Page, Claire Temple, Elektra Natchios, and Jennifer Walters have all been attracted to him, and have all at some point slept with him at least once. Even ''[[VillainessesWantHeroes Vanessa Marianna]]'' flirts with him gently when she meets him at her art gallery. And apparently, this is a ''very'' recurring thing for him as Foggy openly complains about it several times. Even ''Titania'', who only knows his identity as Daredevil, openly fangirls over him and a couple of Jen's female relatives flirt with him at the family dinner.

!! Spoilers for all works set prior to the end of ''Avengers: Endgame'' are unmarked.

----

* TookALevelInJerkass: Following the defeat of Fisk in Season 1, Matt becomes more brash and overconfident in his abilities as Daredevil throughout Season 2, neglecting his duties to Foggy and Karen as he spends more and more time with Elektra. The firm's collapse and his meeting with an incarcerated but still very dangerous Fisk help to snap him out of his hubris, leading to the humbling journey he takes throughout Season 3.

* ChickMagnet: Karen Page, Claire Temple, and Elektra Natchios are attracted to him, and even [[VillainessesWantHeroes Vanessa Marianna]] flirts with him gently when she meets him at her art gallery. Foggy openly complains about it several times. [[spoiler:In ''Series/SheHulkAttorneyAtLaw'', Jen herself is very quickly attracted to him and they have sex after their first adventure. In the series finale, Titania openly fangirls over him and a couple of Jen's female relatives flirt with him at the family dinner.]]

** Helps cement Danny Rand's development from a revenge-driven human weapon into a genuinely altruistic superhero with his HeroicSacrifice at Midland Circle.

* TookALevelInCheerfulness: In ''She-Hulk: Attorney at Law'', he's a lot more lighthearted and optimistic than he was before. It's even more visible when he's being Daredevil, in contrast to his more angsty and brooding demeanor as the persona in his own series.

* StepIntoTheBlindingLight: A common advantage that he uses while fighting several opponents is to KillTheLights so he has a much easier time taking them on because they can't see in the dark while he can use his super senses to detect them and take them out one-by-one.

* FightingWithChucks: The steel fiber composite cable that Melvin installs in his upgraded billy club allows him to turn his billy clubs into nunchakus, which he does while fighting Nobu and The Hand in the Season 2 finale.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Matt can split his billy clubs into two and [[DualWielding use it as eskrima sticks]], [[BifurcatedWeapon combine it to make a short staff]], [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang use it as a projectile]] than can return to him via ricocheting or through its steel fiber cable, use said steel fiber cable as a [[GrapplingHookGun grappling line]] to climb buildings or to ''strangle people'', or simply use it to turn his clubs into [[FightingWithChucks nunchakus]].
