Doctor Midnight was partly inspired by the Shadow and Indian Jones. The character mixes minor powers with skills as well as a trusty Pistol and grappling hook and rope. I had used the name while working on the Metahumans Rising setting and it just stuck with me and said Certified ... Build me... I needs to be a full character. As you will see below I gave in. I hope you enjoy.

Character Information
Height: 1.81 m Hair: White
Weight: 89.00 kg Eyes: White
Appearance: Doctor Midnight wears a long Kevlar reinforced trench coat and fine suit. His hands and wrists are covered with leather gloves and his face is concealed with a grey bandana and fedora leaving only the bridge of his noise and eyes exposed. His stark white eyes framed in a black aura. When using the Midnight Mist the Doctor removes his hat and bandana.
Background: A member of the first US battalion exposed to Kaiser Box in WWI Corporal Felix “Doc” Davis life was forever changed. As the battled hardened solders fell around him Davis knew this would not be his fate. Something inside was changing.
Under observation for the next four months Felix Davis, Iowa Farmhand fell away replaced by the hero who would be named Doctor Midnight. The Doctor came from his knack with all things mechanical the Midnight came from the gifts left by the events of that faithful night.
Davis was able to absorb light. In truth he spent much of his time in observation learning to control his abilities; although never able to fully shut them off he is able to keep them to a fain aura around his body. It was also during this testing that Davis learned that those who found themselves trapped within the Darkness Field were susceptible to his influences and at times he could even understand their thoughts.
As the First World War pressed on Doctor Midnight was used on several covert missions inside the German Border; repeatedly proving his skill and his ability to use his new found talents. Before the end of the war he would earn the rank of Lieutenant and was considered on of the army’s top men for deep cover recon.
Personality: The Doctor sees his abilities as another tool to aid US as they defend those in need. Although late to join the Second World War Doctor Midnight was a vocal supporter leading up to Pearl Harbor. Unlike many pro-war voices at the time he never spoke ill of the tragedy in Hawaii. Instead the Doctor requested to join the Pacific Theater instead of returning to Europe.
Campaign Use: The character presented is Doctor Midnight at the onset of World War II, before his fall at Nagasaki. Metahumans Rising Background http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57389
