The Night

Night Begins
A Pharmacy Assistant who nearly lost his life in a botched robbery, James was empowered by an unknown mixture of random chemicals that saved his life and granted him enhanced physical abilities. Initially donning a red scarf and brandishing his father's old service pistol, he managed to track down the criminals who shot him and repaid them in kind. It wasn't long after that the vigilante The Night appeared, using his newly enhanced body to take down, at first, the local criminal element, but eventually found himself facing off against Hate Groups such as the KKK and growing American Nazi Sentiments. Meanwhile, in his public identity, James became a crusader for minorities, publicaly speaking out against inequality and loudly criticizing his government for not involving itself in the fight against the Nazis.
