One of the most extreme and uniquely dark anti-hero of DC or any comics gets his own new series this June – one of 24 new books following Convergence.

You might call Midnighter a hybrid of Batman/Wolverine/Captain America but he’s very unusual and distinct as one of the few openly gay heroes and he’s an extremely violent hero.

Midnighter debuted in Stormwatch, then co-starred with his future husband Apollo in The Authority, had a brief solo Wildstorm. In teh New 52, Midnighter was part of a revamped Stormwatch and recently clashed with super spy Dick Grayson in Grayson.

He’s one of our top picks for a GLBT DC character to star in their own television series.
