History: (Daredevil
IV#1.50 (fb) – BTS) – On Earth-14436, when
Jonathan "Jack/Jackie" Franklin Murdock was born to Matt Murdock and
his wife,
he appeared to be a normal baby boy. At the time, Matt Murdock, in his
guise as the heroic Daredevil, was famous for
having fought the
Purple Children,
the Shroud and the Owl. At 14 months,
hyper-senses developed in Jackie and he experienced agony, highly
sensitive to
touch, smell, taste and sound. Jackie responded to his hyper-senses
with fear
and agony until Dr.
Valeria Richards was able to cure them. After that, he was
skiddish and very fearful in his childhood. Jack wanted to study more
than
anything but his dad regularly pushed him to be physically active and
enjoy
life. Jackie's mom became the mayor, a job his father had previously,
and the
family had a dog, Lightning. Matt encouraged Jackie not to use
cyber-optics, eye drops used to stay connected to the Internet.
(Daredevil IV#1.50) – Matt interrupted Jack's
studies, encouraging
him to come out and box, but Jackie grew nervous. "Foggy" Nelson came
over for
dinner but soon, an epidemic hit the city, blinding most of the
populace,
Jackie among them. Jackie screamed in fear and Matt chose to stay home
and
comfort him instead of going to investigate. "Foggy"
realized that the cyber-optics were responsible for the blindness
across the city, including in civilians like Cecelia Shiro. Daredevil stopped the villain
behind
it, Jubula Pride, but he lost his super-powers in the process, going
permanently blind. Later, Matt worked to make Lightning a seeing eye
dog but
when the dog walked Matt out in front of a truck, Jackie overcame his
fear and
pushed his dad out of the way, saving him. Matt embraced his son.

As this future diverges from the standard timeline
before
Daredevil moved to San Francisco in Daredevil IV#1, it can be presumed
that the
rest of Daredevil's history prior to this remains the same in this
timeline as his Earth-616 counterpart.
Jubula Pride and the Purple Children were mentioned in this alternate future before they appeared in the regular Daredevil book.
Since Jackie
seemed to be born with enhanced senses that did not manifest until he
was 14 months old, one would think that would classify him as a mutant
but no official determination was given in-story. --Proto-Man

CLARIFICATIONS:
Jackie Murdock should not be confused with:
(Daredevil IV#1.50 (fb) – BTS) – After retiring as
a super
hero, seeing many of his contemporaries die or retire, Matt Murdock
realized
his super-powers were intensifying, allowing him to perceive depth and
contour,
almost allowing him to read. Matt served as the mayor of San Francisco
for a
time. As Daredevil, he developed a reputation for fighting the Owl, the
Purple
Children and the Shroud. Daredevil initially trusted Jubula Pride, the
daughter of the Owl, with his secrets but she went mad after he
defeated the
Owl and she spent years trying to get Matt's attention. After marrying,
Matt
raised his son, Jack, and was relieved the boy initially didn't have
super powers but
when Jack turned 14 months, super-senses showed up and Jack was in
agony due
to touches, smells, sounds and tastes. Matt was able to get Jackie to
Dr.
Valeria Richards, who stabilized him. Matt encouraged Jack not to use
cyber-optics, eye drops used to stay connected to the Internet. He
focused on
raising his son the best he could. Jack only wanted to read so Matt had
to
challenge him regularly to enjoy life and be physically active. They
got a dog,
Lightning. Matt's wife became the mayor and worked on trying to make
decisions
on her own terms.
(Daredevil IV#1.50) – While his wife was out on
the west coast, Matt interrupted Jack's studies, inviting him to come
and box, but Jackie
grew scared of the noises outside. "Foggy" Nelson came to visit. An
epidemic subsequently hit
the city, causing blindness in most of the populace, and Matt saw a
plane crash
outside as Jackie cried out that he was blind. Matt chose to stay home
with
Jackie and comfort him rather than heading out to investigate. The next morning, Matt heard a high-pitch
summoning him and out in the city, he found a crown in a box with a
transmitter on it and a costume in another box. He put it on as Jubula
Pride
spoke to him over the transmitter. "Foggy" realized the cyber-optics
were
responsible for the blindness and he reported it to Matt. Realizing
Jubula was
behind it all, Daredevil attacked her, discovering she had built a
radioactive
machine that would strike much of the populace blind. Jubula explained
that
she'd done this so that people would need Daredevil again. Daredevil
destroyed
the machine, restoring sight to others, but permanently blinding
himself in the
process. Later, he worked on making Lightning a seeing eye dog but the
dog
walked him in front of a truck, inspiring Jackie to rush to save Matt.
--Daredevil IV#1.50 (1.50 (fb) – BTS, 1.50,
(Daredevil IV#1.50) – Lightning the dog belonged to Matt Murdock and his son Jackie. When "Foggy" Nelson came to visit, Lightning was excited. Later blinded, Matt began training Lightning as a seeing eye dog but Lightning walked him in front of a truck, causing Jackie to rush to save Matt as he called Lightning a bad dog.
--Daredevil IV#1.50
(Daredevil IV#1.50 (fb) – BTS) – "Foggy" settled
in San
Francisco, where Matt Murdock served as the mayor for a time. Both Matt
and
"Foggy" married, and Matt fathered a son, Jackie.
(Daredevil IV#1.50) – "Foggy" came over to visit Matt and Jackie, and he saw their dog Lightning. When an epidemic hit the city, resulting in blindness in most of the populace, Jackie was affected. Matt chose to stay and comfort Jackie instead of going out to investigate. The next morning, after discussing the case with "Foggy," Matt heard a summons for him so he headed out. After tucking Jackie in, "Foggy" saw a bottle of cyber-optics (eye drops used to stay connected to the Internet) and he theorized that was what had been hacked to cause the blindness. He called and reported to Matt.
--Daredevil IV#1.50 (1.50 (fb) – BTS, 1.50,
(Daredevil IV#1.50 (fb) – BTS) – Owl battled
Daredevil in
San Francisco but was badly defeated, an event which sent Owl's
daughter,
Jubula Pride, into madness.
--Daredevil IV#1.50 (fb) - BTS
(Daredevil IV#1.50 (fb) – BTS) – When Daredevil
first moved
to San Francisco, he befriended Jubula Pride, the daughter of the Owl,
and he
trusted her with his secrets. After Daredevil defeated the Owl, Jubula
went
mad and she spent years trying to get Daredevil's attention again,
attacking
him from time to time. After Daredevil married and had a son, Jackie,
Jubula
found a way to hack the cyber-optics network and she found a way to
make most of the city
blind. She built a radioactive device that would strike many more blind,
thinking it would help people need Daredevil again.
(Daredevil IV#1.50) – After the blindness epidemic
struck
the city, Jubula watched from outside Matt's apartment as he chose to
stay and
comfort his son rather than head out to investigate. The next morning,
Jubula
set off a high pitch to lure Matt to two boxes, one containing a crown
and the
other his costume, and she taunted him over the transmitter as he put
it on. Daredevil
soon attacked Jubula and discovered the radioactive device. Daredevil
destroyed
the device, restoring sight in everyone, but it took away his
super-senses and
made him permanently blind.
