Midnight Man first appeared in Moon Knight #3 (January 1981), and was created by Doug Moench and Bill Sienkiewicz.
The character subsequently appears in Moon Knight #9–10 (July–August 1981).
Midnight Man is an art thief whose name is derived from his thefts taking place at night. He is wealthy and steals items for the sake of owning them, not to gain money.[2]
After battling Moon Knight, Mogart falls into a river and is carried into the sewers, where exposure to waste melts and deforms his face. He seeks revenge against Moon Knight before apparently being killed.
Following Mogart's death, his son Jeff Wilde succeeds him as Midnight Man and is later transformed into a cyborg by the Secret Empire's scientists.[3]
Midnight Man has no powers, but is a skilled thief and hand-to-hand combatant. He additionally wields a handgun and dagger.
Anton Mogart appears in the Moon Knight episode "The Friendly Type", portrayed by Gaspard Ulliel,[4] who died before the series was released, with the episode being dedicated in his memory.[5] This version is an antiquities collector and an acquaintance of Layla El-Faouly.
