BACKGROUND: John Domingo took the stage name Johnny Domino once he became a professional saxophone player. He was active in the San Francisco bay area when his Miata was hit by a runaway cable car. The cable car was struck by the Jumpstart effect, an Ultra-creating burst of energy from the Entity on the Moon. As a result, Johnny and all those aboard the cable car were transformed into Ultras.

Johnny was the only person seriously injured in the cable car crash, and was in a coma for several weeks.The doctors do not believe in his survival because a fragment of shrapnel was embedded in his brain. However, Johnny lived and acquired the ability to hear evil thoughts of those people around him. Also, his eyes were permanently dilated, giving him incredible night vision. Finally, his brain has been altered and he had prolonged insomnia. He become a costumed vigilante and called himself the Night Man.

He tried to save a girl who was in danger of murder by one criminal, but he arrived too late. Then Johnny fought an ultra criminal called Mangle who was murdering young boys and was searching for the son of the industrialist I.D. Hunt.When the Night Man tried to help the boy, I.D. Hunt Jr. he discovered that he was a psychopath. When a night of madness descended upon San Francisco, the Night man was looking for Mangle, and met the group of teen ultras called the Freex, who were fooled by Mangle in a quest of revenge from I.D. Hunt. Johnny managed to defeat Mangle with a gun and became an ally of the Freex. Later he fought the Celtic sorceress Rhiannon, when she was killing young people to absorb their energies and continue her long life. Rhiannon proposed to the Night Man that he should join her as her consort, but he refused. After the battle, Rhiannon disappeared.

Later he was separated into two people by Rhiannon — one of them gained magical abilities and items, while the other retained his normal powers. The Night Man that was not magically empowered by Rhiannon was transported to the Marvel Universe when the Black September event happened and is, presumably, still there.
