David Clark (New Earth)

Midnight was intended as a simple replacement for Will Eisner's The Spirit. The Spirit was owned by Will Eisner, and the publishers at Quality Comics were afraid that Eisner might die on the front lines of WWII. So, Quality commissioned a similar character that could be substituted in The Spirit's place. Thankfully, Eisner survived the war, and continued to draw the Spirit, eclipsing his replacement Midnight.

In 1956, DC Comics obtained the rights to the Quality Comics characters, including Midnight.

Seventeen years later, some of these characters were re-introduced as the Freedom Fighters.

In 1981, some Quality Characters became recurring guest-stars of All-Star Squadron. The Freedom Fighters, which Midnight was part of, was a mere splinter group of the Squadron.

Nothing is known of his fate after post-Crisis.
