I'd say the inspirations, or rather motivations were both real life and fictional instances.

On the fictional side, while yes Spidey or Batman were massive inspirations (suits a dead giveaway), its the real life MOTIVATIONS that drove me to doing this, One night I was with my mom, driving home from east orange, saw some lady getting beat up by a full grown man, and while unable to do anything considering the circumstance, that moment was still burned into my head, and made me think "Why don't people help?", I kelt that qeustion in mind whenever I saw tragedy, someone getting picked on.

Then one day in 2020, early off in the year, someone in my school had pulled a box cutter on me, and while yes I could've easily let them go, what if that person did the same to someobe else? What if someone left in a few cuts, or in something worse that day?

I couldn't personally bear that, knowing I could've done something about it, and I did, notifying security of the issue asap, and my eyes didn't leave that person during the whole situation, determined to keep everyone safe.

I think that day was the day I really took what was going to do as Midnight seriously, cut to 2 years later in 2022 and you got me.
