Legends Of Tomorrow Takes Shot At Daredevil With Newest Hero

Legends Of Tomorrow Takes Shot At Daredevil With Newest Hero Review

Rip Hunter’s band of time travelers aren’t the only heroes appearing in Legends of Tomorrow. Over the last week, DC Comics has been announcing classic heroes that will be gracing the CW series. The latest character to be teased is actually one of the few visually impaired superheroes, thus providing some healthy competition to Marvel’sDaredevil. That’s right, Doctor Mid-Nite is coming to Legends of Tomorrow. 

There have been three versions of Doctor Mid-Nite in the main DC universe. The first was Dr. Charles McNider (heh, name play), who was one of the original members of the Justice Society. In the 1980s, Beth Chapel briefly wielded the identity until she was killed in battle. The second most famous Doctor Mid-Nite was Pieter Cross, who joined the modern JSA as their main physician. All of them were blinded in accidents, but they gained the ability to see perfectly in the darkness. With the aid of special goggles, they’re able to see in the light as well. McNider and Cross also use trained owls as sidekicks to aid them with taking on the bad guys. Doctor Mid-Nite previously cameoed in the animated shows Justice League Unlimited and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
