Golden Age Origin
Neil Carruthers III is a wealthy young American sportsman who has an inexplicable ability to stop time and light at will. Neil is bored enough to try putting this talent to use helping the police. Donning a tuxedo, a cape, and a domino mask, he assumes the identity of Mister Midnite. He leaves behind a calling card featuring a watch dial with the hands set at midnight. He gets his information through his friend, Police Chief Birey, who has no idea that Neil is Mister Midnite.
