History:
(Daredevil III#7 (fb) - BTS) - Jaleel was a student at Cresskill, a school for the blind, and he was among the shyest students, worried about the world around them. Matt Murdock organized a group of kids to take a bus up into the Cresskills to stay in a resort and work on their fears. Jaleel boarded the bus with Bryce, Creighton, Javi, Justin, Stuart, Sydney, Tommy, and Tonya, with John driving the bus. When they got to the resort, it was overbooked and they were turned away, so John turned the bus around into a snowstorm.

(Daredevil III#7) - As the bus drove through the storm, Jaleel's friend accused him of passing gas, but Jaleel claimed he didn't. Soon the bus crashed and John was killed in the crash. Matt Murdock put on his Daredevil costume, though the kids couldn't see, and he walked them miles through the storm, keeping their morale up despite his own injuries. In the end, Matt collapsed and the kids built a gurney to carry him the rest of the way to safety in a cabin. Later, they were brought back safely to New York.
