Nacht (Night in German) and her brother Nebel were German operatives given superhuman powers by Nazi scientists during World War II.
History
They were sent on missions to capture or eliminate various enemies of the German Third Reich, using powers that were the literal realization of Adolf Hitler's "Nacht und Nebel," which, he declared, would consume any and all Axis enemies.[1]
Nacht and Nebel were usually deployed within Germany against political opponents and resistance fighters, but in early 1942 they were sent to New York City where they were responsible for the death of American steel magnate Ed Reilly, the father of superheroine Firebrand, for refusing to aid the Nazis in delaying American war production. The Nazi agents were then forced to retreat after being attacked by a vengeful Firebrand and the All-Star Squadron.[2]
Nacht and Nebel's subsquent activities in WWII are unknown, but in contemporary times Nacht has been seen in a New York City bar known as a hangout for super villians.[3] Shortly afterward, both Nacht and Nebel were seen on the island nation of Zandia, which was at the time offering sanctuary to super villians wanted elsewhere in the world.[4]
