In this 1987 tale from *Secret Origins* #20, Dr. McNider—once a witness to a crime—suffers a devastating explosion that leaves him blind, set by the notorious "Killer" Maroni. But when he discovers he can now see in total darkness, he channels that gift into a new identity: Dr. Mid-Nite. The story follows his transformation from a man broken by violence into a hero who uses his unique vision to confront the man who ruined his life.
