Who is Doctor Midnight?

Beth Chapel, a skilled physician, gained the paradoxical power to see perfectly in darkness after an accident robbed her of normal vision. Taking up the mantle of the Golden Age Doctor Mid-Nite, she joined Infinity, Inc. as Doctor Midnight, continuing a legacy of heroism rooted in medicine and night-sight abilities.

Born in the Copper Age of DC Comics, Doctor Midnight made their debut in Infinity, Inc. #28 in 1986, brought to life by the legendary Dick Giordano. Sharing pages with the likes of Wildcat, Hourman, Beth Chapel, and Jennie-Lynn Hayden, this character moves in genuinely distinguished company β€” a corner of the DC universe rich with legacy heroism and generational storytelling. With appearances stretching across nearly four decades into 2025 and a presence felt across Infinity, Inc., its Annual, and even Batgirl, Doctor Midnight is a quietly enduring figure whose Copper Age roots give them a particular charm for collectors who love discovering the deeper layers of DC's expansive tapestry.
