His olfactory sense is more powerful than Wolverine’s, actually. Wolvie’s just got him beat in terms of popularity and hairiness.
they both lose to the punisher
hell no! daredevil’s sense of smell is much better than the average human,but wolverine’s sense of smell is on a whole other level. wolverine’s sense of smell rival’s a bloodhound dog.
if you read THE INFINITY WAR series you will see. in one of the issues from that series a alien was impersonating reed richards.wolverine swore up and down that he was a fake. he said he smelled funny. daredevil was in the same room and he said he didn't smell anything unusual. he even wondered if wolverine's sense of smell is better than his.
btw if anyone wants to play x-men legends 2(xbox)online my tag is Lefty Lizard. i'm usually on 10pm to 12am thursday-saturdayits true
as much as i love DD, its true… however its still the infinity war so i take it with a grain of salt
- wolvie catches it first
- dd wondering how he didnt catch it
- dd sensing a huge bomb after concentrating some more
- dd sending fake reed a baton to the throat (so good)

M’kay, but ask yourself this! Can Wolverine taste the exact number of grains of salt on a pretzel?! Mm-hmm, that’s what I thought!
So based on the pages from The Infinity War that Buz provided, what I read was that Wolverine sensed the imposter first, but DD reacted first. Yeah, where is your beserker rage when you need it, bub? Thus, while Wolverine may be the best there is at what he does, DD’s blind ninja skillz are infinitely faster.
You know, I clearly remember that scene from The Infinity War. In fact, that is the comic book that introduced me to the word “olfactory” and yesterday was probably the first time in about seventeen years I’ve actually used it in a non-ironic sentence. Even so, I am willing to disown a piece of my childhood and continue to believe that Daredevil’s sense of smell is more powerful than Wolverine’s. The Infinity War - that’s what I call ALL SKILL, BABY.
For one thing, if you read Daredevil comics regularly, it’s established that Matt has a tendency to get overpowered from smells and scents. For example, recent issues show Matt vainly trying to scrub his entire house with industrial-strength cleaning agents so he wouldn’t smell his wife any longer. Have you ever seen Wolverine scrub down the X-Mansion when Jean Grey died? I suppose it’s possible that Logan is simply a cruel, heartless, and hairy animal, in which case I may have no counterpoint to that. (Other than all those '90s Larry Hama issues where Logan keeps screaming, “MAAAAN!! NOT ANIMAAAAL!! MAN!!!” and points to himself frantically.)
Second, it seems very illogical that Matt’s other senses would be boosted to super-duper levels while his smell would only get boosted by a small amount. I admit this point is a big stretch, but considering how powerful his other senses are, I would imagine his smell to be on par. Taste and smell are related senses, correct? And like carnycorpse mentioned, Matt’s sense of taste is so developed that he can taste “the exact number of grains of salt on a pretzel.” Seventy or seventy-five percent of what we taste comes from our sense of smell. (I looked it up here on some website I’ve never heard of after doing a Google search: http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/funexperiments/agesubject/lessons/newton/tstesmll.html ) As it’s been established that Matt indisputably has a superior sense of taste compared to Wolverine, it logically follows that Matt’s sense of smell is equally superior.
why did they butcher that daredevil movie so much? god that movie was bad. they couldn’t even get the characters ethniticity right. king pin is a fat white guy in the comics and elektra is at least half asian. why was king pin a medium build black guy and elektra was not even 30% asian:confused:.
lucy lui would have made a great elektra,and they could have used a white male to be king pin. they could always make him bigger if he was not fat,like eddie murphy in the nutty professer.I’m sure she is 100% greek
Even then, garner gives zero ethnicity to the character regardless
Word. I mean c’mon, he’s in a room with like half the Marvel Universe, right? There’s bound to be some funky-ass smells floating around in there dulling his normally acute olfactory senses. Personally, I blame Wolverine, living with wolves in the Canadian wilderness all those years has got to create some awful hygienic habits. Seriously Logan, you stink bro.
did anyone ever read daredevil ninja?
I’ve read plenty of bad reviews for it.
What is everyone’s opinion of DD #111, and the new story arc it kicks off?
I have a high opinion of just about anything Ed Brubaker writes. He’s never let me down, so I’m sure I’m biased. (Of course, anyone who doesn’t believe the exact same thing as me is a heathen, and the Church of Bru, in preparation for the eventual Comic Book Crusades, keeps a record of all the pagans.)
DD #111 was a strong issue. I was pretty impressed with the art. It wasn’t Lark, but it had the same feel. Must have been Gaudiano’s finishing touches. Brubaker’s a master of the slow burn but he’s great at producing fairly dense reads even in terms of the twenty-two page serial format.
The new development in Matt’s personal life is something that I’ve been expecting for many, many months now. Still feels kinda surprising and natural in context, though. Bru’s also been beefing up Daredevil’s old rogues gallery and now it looks like he’s adding one of his own. This story is gonna make another sexy TRADE, BABY.
I too was pleased with issue #111.
Mann’s artwork was refreshing yet still in the same vein as Lark’s, which I agree probably had a lot to do with Gaudiano’s inks. In fact, I think if it weren’t for the heavy inks, Mann’s art would have been too clean and lacking in details.
Lady Bullseye’s origin was brief, but believable. I was definitely entertained by the clever usage of crate splinters and keys. l’m very curious about her connection with the Hand, and I can’t wait to see Iron Fist back in the pages of DD.
I also saw the development in Matt’s personal life on the horizon, but felt that it hadn’t been explored enough to warrant the events of #111, nevertheless Brubaker has acted on it. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in where it’ll lead.

DD: Ninja isn’t bad. But then again when I read it, I was just getting back into comics since a long break during my childhood where I mainly read books that had cartoons. So seeing DD kick ninja ass regardless of story was sort of a new experience for me.
is daredevil ninja the one where he gets kidnapped in his sleep?
Daredevil: Ninja is the one where Stick’s staff is stolen. Which by the way, I never said was bad…I only stated that I’ve read bad reviews for it. I don’t find this too hard to believe though, since Brian Michael Bendis is in fact, a mere mortal, and not every story that comes out of him is pure fucking comic gold. There, I said it.
