Talk:Linton Midnite (New Earth)

Damnation's Flame vs. Midnite miniseries
Lots of inconsistencies that I refuse to call "retcon". His change in appearance is explained in-universe, but his backstory is different.

Per PM #2, the miniseries takes place after HB #75.


 * In Damnation's Flame:
 * His real name is Linton, just Linton
 * He's from Jamaica.
 * Jamaican Voodoo master.
 * His sister is Cedella.
 * He kills his sister and performs a ritual on her for 10 days.
 * He keeps her skull, which whispers to him from Hell.
 * Killed his sister around 20 years before Hellblazer #1


 * In Papa Midnite miniseries:
 * He is called Midnite or Brer Midnite.
 * He's from New York Colony, originally Africa, early 18th Century.
 * West African Vodun master, with knowledge of many African spells and languages. He summons Anansi.
 * His sister is Luna. She has tactile psychometry.
 * He is forced to kill his sister, and revolting slaves perform a curse on him that gives him immortality - at least, until white people stop ruling the country.
 * He keeps her skull, and it can talk to him. Exact working principle never explained.
 * Killed his sister first half of the 18th Century.
