Character Evolution
Dr. Midnight (Dr. Mid-Nite II)
Dr. Midnight (Dr. Mid-Nite II)
Her mentor, Dr. Charles McNider, was actually the wartime hero once calling himself Dr. Mid-Nite. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, an earthquake wracked the hospital where Beth worked. While trying to rescue her patients, she was blinded by an oxygen explosion. Dr. McNider took it upon himself to operate on her. Since he couldn’t restore normal vision McNider and a team of fellow physicians gave Chapel Hi-tech ocular implants causing a connection to her pineal gland, allowing to partially restore her vision. Although her eyes became too sensitive for normal light, Chapel developed extremely sharp vision in total darkness.

She was than surprised to find out that her mentor, McNider, revealed himself as Dr. Mid-Nite. On that encounter McNider inspired Chapel to look at her misfortune as a unique gift. She then met Rick Tyler the son of the original Hour-Man, and discovered she could see in darkness while fighting some of the Anti-Monitor's shadow demons.

Chapel than fashioned a set of special goggles, a set of "blackout bombs" grenades, and her mother crafts her daughter's hero costume from a choir robe. Chapel dawns the costume to become the new Dr. Midnight, and joined with the new Hour-Man, petitioned to join Infinity Inc. Only briefly adventuring with the group, and being the in house physician, Chapel served as a dedicated member of Infinity Inc. Chapel formed a close friendship with the flamboyant Yolanda Montez, Wildcat II, becoming a constant influence in Yolanda's life. Chapel also formed a brief but close romance with Hour-Man, helping him with his fears of the addictive properties of the Miraclo drug his father had created. As time went on the group formally disbanded, mostly due to their disillusionment after their founder Skyman's death.

All the members went their own ways but Yolanda and Chapel continued to have close relations. Chapel would later find herself joining Amanda Waller's secret team of meta-humans called the Shadow Fighters. Along with Wildcat II, Commander Steel, Manhunter III, and Major Victory, Chapel agreed to the mission to search and capture Eclipso. However the assignment went awry and Wildcat went ahead of the team, Chapel followed and also got separated from the rest of the group. When Chapel found Wildcat who was seriously injured and bleeding to death. Sadly she was killed mercilessly by Eclipso after begging him to allow her to operate on the dying Wildcat.

Other Versions
Earth-2(Post-52)
Little is known thus far about the female Dr. Midnight of Earth-2 save that she is a current member of the Justice Society Infinity of her source Earth and that she currently serves as the team's official medical officer and specialist.

Chapel was the person who confirmed that Kara Zor-L of Earth-Two/New Earth is not the missing Power Girl native to Earth-2, but a completely separate person. It could possibly be that this Dr.Beth Chapel has obtained the same origins as the other Chapel from Earth-2.
