[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 241456, member: 170"] Yep. In fact, after a little research, it appears that there were several. The original "Doctor Mid-Nite" was a man by the name of Charles McNider. He appeared in several 1940s [i]All-American[/i] and [i]All-Star Comics[/i] issues. A woman, Beth Chapel, came along in the 80s, when she appeared in several [i]Infinity, Inc.[/i] issues as "Dr. Midnight." Then came Pieter Anton Cross in 1999, who also called himself "Doctor Mid-Nite". All three of them were doctors who lost the ability to see in daylight (each in different ways), but found that they were able to see in the dark. Chapel and McNider are now both dead, but Cross (Dr. Mid-Nite II) is still appearing in current [i]Justice Society of America[/i] (JSA) comics. While details on Dr. Midnight were hard to come by, Doctor Mid-Nite I and II both use a set of infra-red goggles which allows them to see during the day. At night, they fight crime with their trusty owl companion, Hooty. They utilize Batman-ish utility belts and gadgets that aid them in their cause, such as Blackout Bombs and a "Cyrotuber", which fires bursts of heat and cold.
