Outline for the Second Term Paper

I don't know if this is exactly within the realm of this assignment - I'd like to discuss waves in Daredevil because his sensitivity to waves are far beyond the normal human level. However, I'm not sure if that's an unrealistic effect that the assignment asks for, or if it's just the concept of the comic character and if I shouldn't talk about it in this paper. I would discuss the normal human wave sensing abilities to hypothesize how unrealistic Daredevil's senses are. Would that be okay? If not I can come up with another outline.
