Biography: Marcus White was born to a mother who was addicted and died from a cocaine overdose when he was 8, and a father who committed suicide out of grief from his wife's death a few months later. This caused Marcus to become orphaned, but instead of being "stuck" in an orphanage he ran and lived on the streets for most of his life. He learned how to defend himself from various thugs on the street, and was tossed into a life full of stealing, beating, and other crime. This eventually led him to move into a crack-house full of some of his fellow "Lost Children" and do the bidding of drug dealers to have a place to live, and to stay alive. He lived at the crack-house until he was around 17 when it was raided by a police force and they were being arrested. Marcus escaped to the neighboring Gotham City to get away from the criminals and hopefully to start his life anew.
He started working at a local bowling alley washing the floors, and managing equipment. This would give him some spare time on using his imagination to craft little devices to aid him in his everyday tasks. This devices helped him clean toilets, wash floors, clean carpets. You name it. Life was looking up for Marcus and he was saving up some money so he could rent his first apartment (he was currently sleeping on a cot at the bowling alley). His past became his past, and the day of his 21st birthday came. He had finally saved up enough for his own apartment, and moved in. While putting away what little belongings he had someone from his past broke into his apartment and stabbed him fifteen times all over and left him for dead, while leaving him incredibly scarred around his chest, torso, legs, and arms. They proclaimed it was because he had fled the crack-house years before, and betrayed his "family" and that they wanted him dead. Luckily, he was discovered by another tenant and he was brought to the local hospital and saved, but only narrowly. Knowing that the "family" would still hunt him down and kill him he began taking self defense lessons, and learning Brazilian Jiujitsu from a local teacher in Gotham.
The months passed and he become more well-trained in the art, and was capable of defending himself but also quickly became one of the best students at the school. While walking home one night after his lessons he was approached by one of the "family" who brandished a knife on him. The attacker went to stab him, but Marcus broke his wrist incredibly swiftly, and shattered his left kneecap causing the attacker to collapse the ground. He demanded information on why the "Family" wanted him dead so bad and the attacker confirmed it was because of him leaving the town on the night of the bust. The attacker also revealed that their leader, the man who had taken Marcus into the crack-house as a home, Alexander Pherron was the one responsible for his mother overdosing on cocaine. Marcus vowed to get revenge and walked away from his now neutralized attacker.
He moved to a different location in Gotham near a water-front, and began his hunt for Alexander. He had learned that Alex had moved to Gotham City to ensure that Marcus was dealt with. Marcus tracked him down, knocked him out and strapped him to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. He had wore a brown paper bag over his head to conceal his identity and sometime during the knowledge of his mother's killer, he snapped mentally. He began torturing Alex by cutting off a couple of his fingers, and pulling out his teeth with pliers. When he finally got his confession recorded on tape he stabbed Alex in the throat with a screwdriver and killed him. He looked at his wristwatch at this moment and noticed the time to be 12:00am and thus became the birth of his alias, Midnight.
He slowly then dispatched the remaining members of the Family in various, gruesome methods. Some involving torture, some just involving brutal killing without remorse. This is when he donned his outfit of the long black frock coat, and the rest of his black ensemble and the eerie silver mask that was similar to what the Phantom Of The Opera wore, but this covered his entire face. He only targets people who commit atrocities like rape, murder, etc. He doesn't target innocent people but somewhere along his long line of killing it caused him to go a bit mentally unstable, and psychotic. He enjoys the killing, but will also defend the innocent to his last breath.
Abilities: Trained extensively in Brazilian Jiujitsu and Swordfighting.
Extra Notes: He is also armed with a machete that is adorned with a white blade.
I'll hold back on the gritty, and gory. Just setting up the back story is all.
