Midnight Sun is originally M'Nai, an African child from a village which Zheng Zu uses as his headquarters. After the British Armed Forces attack the village, scarring M'Nai and killing his family, Zu adopts him and raises him alongside his son Shang-Chi. Taking the identity of "Midnight", M'Nai wears a mask at all times to hide his facial scar. Although he and Shang-Chi sometimes come to blows, they grow up as friends, a relationship which ends when Shang-Chi rebels against Zu.[1]
Midnight continues to work as Zu's agent until he is ordered to assassinate Shang-Chi. Their friendship unravels during the mission, as Midnight mocks Shang-Chi's attempts to convince him to renounce their father's villainy. Midnight proclaims that his past has given him an unending hatred for humanity and renounces his friendship with Shang-Chi. The two battle before Midnight falls to his death.[1][2]
The Kree later obtain Midnight's body and place him in cryogenic storage. Scientist Kar-Sagg transfers Midnight's brain into a clone body and empowers him to battle the Silver Surfer. It is at this point that he is renamed "Midnight Sun".[4]
Midnight Sun battles the Silver Surfer on multiple occasions. It is later revealed that the Kree removed most of Midnight's memories to make him a more effective fighter and that their alterations to Midnight Sun's body rendered him mute. However, Midnight Sun regains some of his memories, rebels against the Kree, and is taken to the Inhuman city of Attilan for treatment.[5][6]
Midnight Sun later returns to fight Shang-Chi once more, recognizing him due to residual memories. Unable to speak with Shang-Chi, Midnight Sun communicates via carvings made with circular discs and gives up his grudge against him.[7]
Midnight Sun later regains his memories and speech through unknown means and returns to his old costume, giving up his metallic armor and discs. After learning of Zheng Zu's death, he seeks to fulfill his dream of world conquest before the spirits of the triad leaders he had killed imprison him in another dimension.[8]
As an agent of Zheng Zu, Midnight is a highly trained martial artist and espionage agent. He is a master of unarmed combat and many martial arts weapons, particularly daggers, nunchaku, and shuriken.
The Kree transferred Midnight into a clone body which possesses superhuman strength, durability, and agility. Additionally, he was modified to be able to survive the conditions of space and propel himself through the air using silver discs grafted to his hands and feet.[10]
