History

Lucas Trent, aka Midnighter, is a vigilante formerly attached to StormWatch, before becoming an agent of the Garden.

Origin

At the age of fourteen, farmhand Lucas Trent was abducted by aliens while he was returning home from a day's work. The aliens experimented on him and others. While one of the other test subjects, Andrew Pulaski, was given powers on the level of Superman, Lucas had a more subtle power set. Some ten years after Pulaski was kidnapped, Trent escaped captivity, and set out to work as a mercenary.

Lucas has been following Apollo - his former fellow captive Pulaski - for over a year and decided to reveal himself by intervening in StormWatch's recruitment attempt. He had admiration for Apollo's methods and drive, and praised him on violently taking down a child pornography ring. Martian Manhunter decided they could just use Apollo, but Midnighter as well, and invited both to join.
