- In the event of my death, I hereby declare that all my worldly possessions pass to my son, Matthew Murdock. Matt: I ask that you honor the Murdock family legacy, and commit yourself to the improvement of Gotham City, its institutions and its citizens. Please, be strong. You are young, but destined for greatness. Make the most of your opportunities; use them to give back to a city that has given us so much, to change the lives of millions of people. Do not be frivolous with this wealth; please do not waste it all on fast cars and outrageous clothes, and the pursuit of a destructive lifestyle. Invest in Gotham. Treat its people like family; watch over them, and use this money to safeguard them from forces beyond their control. My deepest regret is I will not see you grow into the good man I know you will become. And finally, my son, I ask that you never abandon this city to fate. We have lived through dark days; there's no doubt there are more to come. But it is the good and great men who stand up for Gotham when others turn and run, because with great power, comes great responsibility. In death, I will love you forever. Your father, Jack.

- Skilled Surgeon: Jack was known for his surgical skills, matched by no one. His expertise was so cunning, that it was said no accident or complication ever happened during his surgeries, though he himself stated this was false. Jack's abilities would inspire Thomas Elliot into becoming a surgeon as well, though he would later use it for nefarious gains as Hush.
