Role-Playing Notes:
Midnight Sun is a lost soul in the truest sense of the phrase. He is a mute amnesiac, with only the barest of memories of his life before his resurrection. He has rejected his servitude to the Kree, and seeks to discover his own identity. Unfortunately, both Fu-Manchu and the Kree have taught him to express himself solely through violence, and he finds communication to be virtually impossible.
History:
M’Nai lost his parents when he was a small child in Africa. He became filled, not with grief, but with anger at a world that taken his parents from him.
The villain, Fu-Manchu, entered M’Nai’s village soon after. Seeing the anger in the child’s eyes, he took M’Nai in to his personal care. Fu-Manchu believed there was great potential in anger. He raised the scared, angry boy with his own son, Shang-Chi. The child earned the name “Midnight” and always wore a mask, the better, Fu-Manchu said, to hide his scars. Shang-Chi and Midnight were the closest of friends, virtually brothers. They were both incredi bly skilled at kung-fu; the two greatest masters of the discipline in the world.
Then Shang-Chi learned the truth about his father and rebelled. Fu Manchu sent Midnight after him, to challenge him to a death duel. As great as Midnight’s friendship had been, it paled in comparison to the bonds of servitude that Fu-Manchu had placed on Midnight. They fought an epic battle in New York City; Midnight fell from a crane and caught his cape on a hook. The jolt broke his neck and he died instantly.
Midnight’s sleep of death was not an easy one. Seeking foes to place against the Avengers, Kang the Conqueror used Midnight as a member of his Legion of the Unliving, a group of dead villains and heroes he had gathered to oppose the Avengers.
Midnight was defeated and remained dead, until the Kree, needing a weapon to use against the Silver Surfer, resurrected him in the hopes that his fighting style would confuse the Surfer. They blocked his memories and augmented the abilities of his body to a truly superhuman level, re naming him Midnight Sun.
Midnight Sun, now mute and barely aware of his previous existence, was sent to hunt the Surfer. He was impressed by the Surfer’s honor, an impression that led to his own defeat. Disappointed, the Kree decided to destroy his vestigial memories and turn him into a completely merciless foe. Un willing to lose what little remained of his past existence, Midnight Sun broke free from the lab and flew off into space. He encountered the Silver Surfer once again on Earth’s moon, but when he tried to communicate with him, the Surfer misinterpreted his actions and battle commenced.
During the battle, the Surfer removed Midnight Sun’s mask, revealing his scarred face. The battle may have led to tragic consequences had it not been for the intervention of the Inhumans now living in Attilan on the Blue Area of the Moon. Black Bolt had compassion for the scarred mute, and vowed to take him into Attilan to cure him. Midnight Sun accepted the offer, and has not been seen since.
