The Blind Man is Bryan Mills when he becomes old.
His certain set of skills hasn't dulled a bit and he's still killing people that deserve it.

The Blind Man is related to Mommy and Daddy from The People Under the Stairs.
Like him, they're secretive killers whose homes are rigged like fortresses beneath a creepy facade, and who relentlessly hunt trespassers who try to steal their rumored hoards of wealth.
  • Even moreso, they both have large vicious Rottweilers as guard dogs.
  • Also, The Blind Man has almost a similar facial structure to Daddy from TPUTS. There's a good chance that they may have been brothers.

The Blind Man is Daredevil after he got old
His years of fighting crime in Hell's Kitchen has slowly wore away at Daredevil's refusal to kill, and now he's taken after The Punisher by killing those who deserve it, including people who try robbing him.
  • Alternatively, he is Stick. They even look alike.

The Blind Man is a Vietnam veteran.
This is why he's so familiar with guerrilla techniques, as well as combat in general, and explains his willingness to terrify and kill intruders. In addition to this, his blindness was caused by cataract, which means he would've lost his sight gradually and thus he adapted as he lost his vision.
  • Jossed; he's an Iraq veteran, and his blindness was caused by grenade shrapnel.

The Blind Man is Kevin from the Home Alone movies
Somehow he got blind but his skills in stopping "Home Invaders" are still sharp as ever. And it's not entirely out of the question that his past childhood trauma turned him into a killer.

The Blind Man is the Soldier.
His advanced age and blindness may have made him a far more subdued man in terms of demeanor, in addition to forcing him to retire from mercenary work, but his ferocity when it comes to combat has been anything but dulled.

Diddy is Rocky’s daughter and not her little sister.
There is an age gap between Rocky and Diddy, and Rocky’s protectiveness of Diddy seems to go beyond the scope of a big sister. This may be the case of Rocky being a teen mom and the two being raised together as siblings. Given Rocky’s abusive mother, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had claimed Diddy as her “do-over” baby and Rocky let her because she felt she had no choice. Rocky may have even felt societal pressure to let her mother claim Diddy as her daughter, because her mother was “doing the right thing” by claiming responsibility for “Rocky’s mistake”.

It would also explain how Rocky was able to make a getaway in the end with Diddy. The biological mother would have an easier time spiriting away with their child than a big sister spiriting away with her little sister.
