Doctor Charles McNider, was
the earliest blind superhero, predating Marvel Comics' Daredevil by more
than two decades. According to Wikipedia:
.
"One night, he was called to remove a bullet from a witness
who was to testify against the mob. However, a mobster threw a grenade into the
room, killing the witness and blinding McNider.
McNider
thought his days as a surgeon were over until one day, as he was recovering, an
owl crashed through his window (reminiscent of the incident that inspired Batman
to dress as a bat). Taking off the bandages that were covering his eyes, he found
that he could see, but only in perfect darkness. Using his newfound ability, he
developed a special visor that let him see in light and "blackout bombs" that
block out all light, and used these to fight crime.
