Neal Carruthers III was a wealthy young American sportsman who had an inexplicable ability to manipulate the time stream. Carruthers was bored enough to try putting this talent to use helping the police. Donning a tuxedo, a red cape, and a domino mask, he assumed the identity of Mister Midnite, leaving behind a calling card in the form of a watch dial with the hands set at midnight. Mr. Midnite obtained information through his friend, police commissioner J. C. Wade, who had no idea that Midnite was really Carruthers. In fact, the police chief disliked Mister Midnite because he made the police seem incompetent and inept by stopping crime without their help. Neal was member of the Crime Busters, the Battle Squadron and Young Heroes.
His main power is chronokinesis (ability to manipulate the time stream). Neal could use this power on himself, project it over a large area of unspecified dimensions, or concentrate it onto a smaller area or object, such as another person. Aeronautical engineer and WWI hero James Albright created a skin tight suit which allowed Midnite to glide on air currents. He created some other gadgets for Carruthers such as a projecting swing-line, blackout bombs and the doom-beam torch.
