History
Midnighter, sometimes known as his alias of Lucas Trent, is a vigilante formerly attached to StormWatch, before becoming an agent of the Garden.
True Origin
Midnighter does not know his own history, only that he was an agent of the Gardener. In order to fit in with society, he adopted the alias of "Lucas Trent".[1]
Adopted Origin
At the age of fourteen, farmhand Lucas Trent was abducted by aliens while he was returning home from a day's work.[2] The aliens experimented on him and others. While one of the other test subjects, Andrew Pulaski, was given powers on the level of Superman, Lucas had a more subtle power set. Some ten years after Pulaski was kidnapped, Trent escaped captivity, and set out to work as a mercenary.[3]
Lucas has been following Apollo - his former fellow captive Pulaski - for over a year and decided to reveal himself by intervening in StormWatch's recruitment attempt.[4] He had admiration for Apollo's methods and drive, and praised him on violently taking down a child pornography ring. Martian Manhunter decided they could just use Apollo, but Midnighter as well, and invited both to join.[5]
