HISTORY
A student of Charles McNider, the golden age hero Doctor Mid-Nite, Beth Chapel was blinded in an accident, finding that like her mentor, she was able to see in the dark. When McNider and his colleagues disappeared, Beth became a heroine and joined Infinity, Inc., though she preferred to act as the team's surgeon rather than on the field. She was one of a number of heroes slain by Eclipso in the nation of Parador, but was returned to life during a precursor quake to the Lazarus eruption, and joined the Justice Society of America.
