6. Midnight

So it appears that DC Comics really wanted the rights to The Spirit. Wanted ’em so soooooooooo bad. And didn't have ’em. But they had Midnight. Who looks, dresses, and acts exactly like Denny Colt, aka The Spirit.

Dave Clark (get it, Dave Clark, Denny Colt: DC) was a radio announcer for UXAM in Big City. Not a big city. Just Big City. That's the name. Midnight worked with his sidekicks, scientist Doc Wackey (yes, really) and his monkey Gabby (YES"¦REALLY).

He also fought with the All-Star Squadron (which is how I know who he is) and the Freedom Fighters. Fun fact: Midnight was actually originally published by Quality Comics in 1941 because Will Eisner (creator of the Spirit) owned the rights to his own creation and Quality publisher Everett Arnold wanted a similar (read: same) character to replace Spirit if Eisner was killed in action in World War II.
