History
The third Doctor Mid-Nite is Pieter Cross. He was a doctor who ran a free clinic in Portsmouth City, which led him to investigate a new street drug produced by an evil corporation called A39, an accidental derivative of the steroid-like Venom. In retaliation, the corporation drugged him and he was involved in a car accident which took the life of a young woman. Like the previous bearers of the name, he found that he could only see in pitch darkness. He, too, donned a costume to fight crime. The new Dr. Mid-Nite carries high-tech medical equipiment in addition to his crimefighting apparatus (which includes blackout bombs). Various people he has helped aid him in his work as a crime-fighter and community surgeon, including a number of street kids. He later joined the newest incarnation of the Justice Society of America. He had a brief romance with his teammate, Black Canary. Dr. Mid-Nite is one of the most prominent physicians in the DCU, along with his JSA teammate and colleague Mr. Terrific. They are often called upon when an autopsy is needed, or when a hero needs major surgery. Among the notable achievements of Cross as a physician include determining Alan Scott was composed of the green flame of the Starheart, giving Power Girl her annual checkups as well as testing her powers, emergency surgery on Hourman II, and the autopsy of Sue Dibny during the Identity Crisis storyline.
