HISTORY
When a group of Alaskan miners began to die one after another from some kind of poisoning, the federal government sent scientist Hugh Goddard to investigate the causes. Goddard discovered that the radiation levels were terrifyingly high, lethal, but before he could send his conclusions, he was beaten nearly to death and left in an abandoned mine tunnel. Hugh managed to crawl out, but as he stepped out into the sunlight, he was horrified to discover that he couldn't see, the radiation had blinded him. However, during convalescence in the hospital, his friend Dr. Miller discovered that Hugh was not really blind, but that radioactivity had mutated his sense of sight, adapting it to situations in the absence of light. Miller and Goddard himself designed and manufactured a special visor that protected Hugh's eyes from intense light sources. Miller also helped his friend create Nightro's secret identity. On his first mission, Nightro went after Tollini and Hoag (engineer and foreman of the fateful mine), the men who tried to kill him. Since then, Hugh Goddard has pretended to be blind during the day, but when night falls he becomes a daredevil hero, a guardian angel.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Nightro could see in the dark and using his special visor with polarized lenses, also in full sunlight. He was in exceptional physical shape, a very capable fighter, and a tenacious hound. Sometimes his guide dog, Drum, accompanied him on missions.
