Peak Human Speed: Similar to his strength, Matt can increase his speed to peak human level.

RADAR SENSE
Enhanced Stamina: Matt’s stamina is similarly enhanced, since he was able to hold his breath underwater for longer periods of time.
Radar Sense: A form of echolocation via low radio wave projection, according to one theory; an energy wave within certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The signal emanates radio waves from regions of his brain, after which it travels outward, bounces off objects around him, and returns to receiving regions of his brain.
With this ability, Murdock can synthesize a very close analogue of three-dimensional three hundred and sixty degree human sight.
