Nightfall

Nightfall stepped into the DC Universe through one of the Bronze Age's most beloved reference works — Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — earning a place in comics history simply by being deemed worth cataloguing in 1985. Over a publishing span stretching more than three decades, this DC character has kept genuinely eclectic company, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Superman alongside more offbeat figures such as Black Mass, Crowbar, and Shatterfist, with The Power Company and Justice League of America serving as primary stomping grounds. The appearances may be select — including one collector-significant key issue — but that kind of focused, curated presence across titles like Justice League United speaks to a character with real staying power in DC's expansive universe. For fans who love digging into the deeper corners of DC's roster, Nightfall is exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
