Powers
- Artificial neural enhancements give him augmented senses, super-strength and reflexes. Artificial augmentation allows him to calculate over a million possible combat scenarios in a second. Super-enhanced immune system.
- Midnighter's neural induction allows him to calculate over a million possible combat scenarios in a second. He has fibre-lined muscle increasing his strength, durability, and reflexes. Midnighter has shown that he can move faster than the human- and even superhuman- eye in a quick speed burst. He can survive in anaerobic environments for short periods. He also has a second heart allowing him to survive wounds that would be otherwise fatal.
- He possesses also a super-enhanced immune system, to the point where AIDS was defeated in six weeks and common cold never stays more than a couple of minutes. After The Doctor overdosed himself with heroin, the doctors used a shot of Midnighter's blood to jumpstart his system by unblocking opiate receptors. Though not on the level of certain Marvel characters, Midnighter does heal much faster than a normal human, having survived having his neck broken at least once.
- Midnighter is also quite adept at stealth, and has used both a nightstick and a telescoping staff in close combat. His personal arsenal also commonly incroporates throwing stars.

History
Midnighter, alongside his future husband Apollo, was part of a top secret Stormwatch team (that was an analog to the JLA) created by the first Weatherman, Henry Bendix. Nobody but Bendix himself knew of the team's existence. Bendix built them as superhuman and, when they donned their costumes and spoke their codenames, their previous identities ceased to exist.
However, this secret team was all but destroyed during their first mission, Apollo and Midnighter being the only survivors. They went rogue and spent the next five years undercover fighting for a finer world in the alleyways of America, until Christine Trelane found the files about their team after Bendix's fall.
Jackson King, formerly Battalion, now the new Weatherman, ordered them found, not being sure if they were heroes or villains. Midnighter and Apollo were after weapons made in the "Garden of Nevada", a leftover of the first Engineer. He ordered Fahrenheit and Hellstrike to tag them with fetishes so they can be transported into SkyWatch. Midnighter and Apollo first attacked the Stormwatch team, believing them under Bendix's orders. However, they ceased the attack once they were told Bendix was dead. With King's help, they violently retrieved the Garden of Nevada from the U.S. Army, and King granted them what they asked for: new lives away from Stormwatch.
