Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil

I love the idea of Matt pretending to be Mike. Maybe that's even where Mike's think with pretending to be him started. Like, Matt really wanted to do something that he shouldn't really be able to do, and Mike says he can't becuase it'd look weird if the blind kid can suddenly hit the ball accurately every time, or whatever. But Matt says it won;t becuase the blind kid will be sitting over there, and hands him his cane and sends him to sit on a bench and pretend to read a book or something. So really, the switching thing is like Matt's fault becuase he started it!

Maybe Mike's even weirded out by the whole thing at first and convinced someone's going to notice, but they don't, and some people even come over and talk to him and he replies as Matt and they are fooled. Then he' shocked. Maybe they even seem to want to hang out with him more when he's Matt, so he does it more and more. Matt gets annoyed with it, but Mike says they're nicer to him as Matt. Matt's all "They're not being nice, they feel sorry for me." But Mike doesn't think he's right, (and he's actually not, they really do want to be his friend but Matt's stand-of fish becuase he's paranoid about why people want to be around him) and he's enjoying having friends end if he does have to be Matt to do it. Yeah, I might just have written a whole chapter in my head, actually..! But the point of all that was that when Matt is complaining bout Mike impersonating him, he tells him it was Matt's idea in the first place.

Dunno, would Mike teach Matt things when they were kids?. If Stick has dropped him as a student and now he knows what an asshole Stick is, MIke wants to keep him away from Matt, maybe he wouldn't becuase he wants to keep him safe. Or becuase he wants to have something that he's better at. But then later on when Matt finds out about the super senses and Stick's super evil training methods, Matt realizes Mike's actually better at some things while blind than he is, and he asks Mike for pointers.

Yes! I like that. Matt must get tired of having to play real-world blind all the time and finds a way out and loves it... And it could also be the beginnings of Mike thinking he can't have his own friends because of who he is, but likes that he can have them as 'Matt'. This all being Matt's fault is kind of hilarious, too. :)

That could be. That makes sense. If Matt keeps up his fighting skills, there's the danger that Stick might take him back and Mike doesn't want that. (And maybe to have something he's better at. LOL.) And so, maybe Matt keeps up on his own somewhat because his brother is off training with Stick. I like the idea of Mike being better at some things while blind... I'm guessing Stick may have wanted him to spend a good part of his training blindfolded to make him make use of his other senses.

(I read your comments on my cell while I was on lunch - today we had a luncheon... couldn't really whip out my tablet and keyboard... Then I had school after work. That's why I'm later than usual. Can't wait for Thursday...)

Yeah, Matt might well have continued on his own, maybe pushing himself to do things and trying to heighten his awareness and hone his senses, but without guidance from Stick. Which he didn't have in the real timeline, and he did just fine. But Mike continued training for years with Stick after he dropped Matt, and even assuming Matt started out as better than him, the extra years of tuition must have made him better. If not, I'm sure Stick would have dropped him too, for not being good enough.

Talking of Stick dropping Matt from training, do you think it was for the same reasons in this world? And how do you think Matt will have reacted to the guy who was originally brought in to help him not wanting anything else to do with him, but continuing to train his brother (who he probably only started training in the first place because he was hanging around getting in the way!) Do you think Matt knew Stick was still training Mike? Because I can see that creating some major conflict between the brothers!

I think Matt had to know - Mike disappears for a few weeks right after Stick drops Matt. I think Matt would've been able to guess? Yeah, I could see it being a major area of contention. :) So Mike stays on originally because he was envious of Matt, then after "the next level" stays on to protect Matt?

Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil

Yeah, you're right, he would have to know. But maybe it's just becuase it's obvious. Maybe Mike never explicitly tells him about it and Matt just doesn't mention it. That could be how they end up not fighting over it?
