Fictional character biography
Golden Age version
The unnamed man who would become Doctor Light held a faculty position at Ivy League University until he was fired for conducting dangerous experiments on university grounds. In response, he became Doctor Light, a criminal who wields light-based technology. At 3:00 a.m. in a New York town, he generates enough light to make it feel like it is the middle of the day, distracting the police officers and security guards and allowing Light to rob an armored vault. Light's crime spree is noticed by Doctor Mid-Nite, who tracks him down. However, Light gains the upper hand in the fight, which results in Doctor Mid-Nite getting a twisted ankle while Light escapes. The next time Doctor Mid-Nite confronts Light, he brings his Blackout Bombs with him, allowing him to defeat Light.In other media
