Pieter Cross is the third vigilante to call himself Doctor Mid-Nite. Charles McNider and Beth Chapel were his predecessors. Beginning his career as a highly-skilled surgeon, he was blinded by a chemical accident. This made him only able to see in the dark, using infrared vision. Special goggles allow him to see, and he fights crime using martial arts and blackout bombs to blind his opponents. He has been a member of the Justice Society, and he functions as their team medic.
Pieter Cross was created by Matt Wagner and John K. Snyder III, first appearing in Doctor Mid-Nite #1 (1999).
