As the aging McNider spent less time in action, Beth Chapel, a medical doctor, stepped into the role of Doctor Midnight. Beth Chapel was a native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, with a pastor father, a mother who sang in the church choir, and four brothers. Chapel first appeared when Jade of Infinity, Inc. was rushed to her hospital for treatment after encountering Mister Bones' cyanide touch. During the onset of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Beth was blinded by an oxygen explosion, only to be rescued by Hourman's son Rick Tyler, who had taken his father's Miraclo to enhance his strength. Dr. McNider performed emergency surgery on Beth, and while he couldn't restore her day vision, he did give her his ability to see in the dark. Beth and Rick assume the mantles of their predecessors as Doctor Midnight and Hourman, with her mother crafting a super hero costume from a choir robe. Along with a new Wildcat, Chapel and Tyler applied for membership in Infinity, Inc, eventually gaining admission; however, the association was short-lived, as Infinity, Inc. disbanded shortly thereafter, though Chapel and Tyler began a romantic relationship during their tenure. Doctor Midnight and Wildcat were subsequently recruited by the U.S. government for a mission to defeat the supervillain Eclipso, only for Chapel to die on the mission along with Wildcat, the Creeper, Commander Steel, Peacemaker, and Major Victory. During the events of the "Watchmen" sequel "Doomsday Clock", Beth Chapel was returned to life alongside the rest of the restored Justice Society of America and the Legion of Super-Heroes thanks to the influence of Doctor Manhattan. She now sports a more traditional costume resembling that of McNider and Cross. Following the fight against Black Adam's group and the foreign superheroes, Chapel is mentioned to have opened a metahuman medical clinic called the All-Star Clinic where Ronnie Raymond is receiving treatment. Chapel as Doctor Mid-Nite is seen giving superhero medical treatment to Jon Kent after his powers fail and he is injured. In the pages of "The New Golden Age", Doctor Mid-Nite was seen with the Justice Society of America when they are fighting Angle Man and his army of inter-dimensional Bizarros until Angle Man is defeated by a Huntress from an alternate future. After Green Lantern's ring confirms Huntress' story and her encounter with Per Degaton, Doctor Mid-Nite suggests that they call in Hourman II. The JSA is then confronted by Per Degaton. Following the fight with Per Degaton, Doctor Mid-Night does an analysis on Per Degaton's DNA. Wildcat claims to Doctor Mid-Nite that they are fighting the same opponents as she claims that she can hear Eclipso's voice. Wildcat then asks Doctor Mid-Nite for a Lazarus Pill. Doctor Mid-Nite is among the JSA members that fight Per Degaton and the versions of him throughout time. Power, abilities, and equipment 
Beth Chapel, like her predecessor, possesses the unique capability to see in darkness despite being blind in normal light. This extraordinary vision is made possible by an ocular implant. Furthermore, Beth excels as a highly skilled physician and displays a notable level of physical strength. Her proficiency in combat is also recognized, marking her as a skilled fighter. Beth's arsenal includes a variety of gadgets, among which are "blackout bombs." When deployed, these devices release clouds of pitch black gas, effectively blinding her adversaries. However, due to her unique vision, Beth is able to navigate and perceive her surroundings clearly within the cover of the gas, granting her a significant advantage over her opponents. Other versions
In the new Earth-2 created in the wake of Infinite Crisis and 52, a version of Beth Chapel is shown to be a member of the Justice Society Infinity. In other media
Beth Chapel appears in Stargirl, portrayed by Anjelika Washington. This version is a socially awkward high school student who has not made any friends like her mother encourages her to do. She later obtains the original Doctor Mid-Nite, Charles McNider's, goggles, befriends its A.I., which she nicknames "Chuck", becomes the new Doctor Mid-Nite, and joins Stargirl's Justice Society of America (JSA). In the second season, Chapel discovers McNider was trapped in the Shadowlands and helps rescue him. He and her parents subsequently support her in being the new Doctor Mid-Nite before she helps him discover what happened to his family. Ahead of the series' premiere, Chapel and the JSA made a cameo appearance in the Arrowverse crossover event, "Crisis on Infinite Earths" via archive footage from the Stargirl episode "The Justice Society".
