Anthony 'Tony' Colby was a district attorney who was about to lock up Olly Snate, a top mob boss. Colby was mugged in the middle of the trial by Snate's henchmen, who blinded him using acid.
That might have been the end of the story, if a mysterious woman hadn't offered him the chance to undergo an experimental surgical procedure. The operation was successful, and Colby's eyesight was not only restored, but also improved, giving him perfect night vision.
With the advantage that this new ability gave him and driven by the desire to do justice, Colby decided to become the crime fighter known as the Midnight Mask. Colby enlisted the help of Silk Davis, an (almost) reformed criminal; Butch, a muscular mechanic; and Carol Smith, the woman who helped him regain his sight.
POWERS & WEAPONS
Colby has perfect sight in the absence of light, similar to the owl, the bird of prey that inspires him. He has also trained hard to become the best fighter possible, with a dry and practical fighting style. His weapon of choice are his batons.
