"'''Son of Man'''" is how [[Jesus]] frequently referred to himself, but something is lost in the translation.  A fuller rendition of the Greek (υἱός ἄνθρωπος) in English would be "Christ, Son of God," "Son of Man from God," "God became man," "God descended as man," or "God as a man."  John 9:35 does not make sense as merely "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
