Who is Night Man?

Origin The Night Man is also known as Johnny Domino, a gifted San Francisco saxophonist. When A San Francisco cable car, out of control, crashes into Johnny's car a fragment of shrapnel is embedded in his brain. Miraculously Johnny lives and he acquires the ability to hear evil thoughts of those around him. In addition his eyes are permanently dilated, allowing Johnny incredible night vision. Finally the "sleep center" in Johnny's brain has been forever altered, another after effect of his accident, allowing for prolonged insomnia that is often self induced as The Night Man adjusts to the night and his new surroundings. Character Evolution Through the first twelve issues (and beyond really) The Night Man was written with a 'Year One' approach that has garnered much popularity since the 1980s. Each time Johnny Domino went out into the night as The Night Man he learned something about why he was doing what he did and was often able to adapt that knowledge into how he continued his mission. The Night Man came out the other side of Black September as two distinct people.
