Her In-Game Bio:
My name is..was..Winnie Chang. I was a corporal in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with Professor Dale Lambert on a weapon called Midnight Sun. Well, it was not meant to be a weapon, but you know how things work when people break rules. Lambert and I learned Midnight Sun, supposedly a teleporter that used the physics of black holes to move troops, was instead meant to kill enemy troops: death by singularity. We tried to warn the authorities but we were captured by a nutcase major en route. While trying to escape, I was shot and killed. I do not remember what happened next, but I assume we both met our fate with Midnight Sun. My reward for following rules and orders all my life. Don't ask me how I came back from the grave. All I know is that I am not the same person any more. I have powers like a black hole, but this black hole is plugged into the Netherworld and darkness, not time and space. I also know I don't play by the rules no more!
The Dark Road To Midnight Sun
The first time she met Professor Dale Lambert, she was a corporal in the Canadian Armed Forces, assigned as security detail for the lab he worked in. He was the first person who did not consider her simply as a dumb "grunt". His pleasant demeanor and good humour was a refreshing change from the other scientists who regarded her with a frosty look. In time, they became friends. When Lambert got uneasy at the direction his work was heading, she would be the one to break the news to him that his project, originally meant to teleport peacekeeping troops from one place to another, was in fact meant from the start to be a weapon.
She would also die for him when the major in charge of the project tried to shoot Lambert to stop him from going to the authorities about this weapon of mass destruction. Both her lifeless form and Lambert were then subjected to the first field test of Midnight Sun in a lonely remote field in northern Quebec. While Lambert was instead reborn as the hero Event Horizon Man, her body would begin a journey through the afterlife realm known as the Netherworld, to appear naked and apparently unharmed as she returned back to life in that same field.
"My Worldview Changed..."
Winnie Chang believed in the chain of command and in following orders, but upon returning to life, she stopped believing in that, and with authority as a whole. Perhaps the betrayal and her death by service pistol by the hands of the major was the reason. Or maybe a trip through the afterlife offered her something more than just the powers to communicate with dark servants. Maybe what came back no longer thought like a human being.
Frenemy
Her reunion with her old friend came when Event Horizon Man, already established in his career as a hero, responded to a bank robbery. Event wore on his chest an inverted color scheme of a sun, the Midnight sun, to remind him where he got his powers from. Imagine his amazement when he saw his former friend breaking into a safe, using Netherworld powers. When Midnight Warning noticed the chest emblem, it did not take too long for her to figure out who it was behind the mask, and she took advantage of his momentary indecision, easily overwhelming him in battle.
The two would meet in Pocket D later to discuss what happened to each of them. While Midnight Warning professed her friendship with Event, and a solemn vow not to reveal his secret identity to anyone, the two would still meet in battle, with each thwarting the other on occasion. Dale Lambert and Winnie Chung have a relationship that is both a warm friendship and a hostile clash of hero versus villian in the never ending war of good and evil.
A Web Of Her Own
Midnight Warning is known by many to deal with the challenges and opportunities of the Rogues Isles without directly involving herself. She has established a close circle of villians and rogues to run tasks for her in exchange for her protection and power as a very senior villianess. She does this mostly by taking advantage of some villian's bad turn of events, such as Operative Brand. While she never purposely attempts to take advantage of their situation to their detriment --- that would be bad for her business -- she makes sure she operates 10 steps ahead of her partners, just in case they try something.
