History
Eric Cross was a fellow partner of Hobie Brown at the enterprise they worked on.[1]
At some point of his life, Eric had a daughter who was killed during a gunfight.
He decided to get revenge on the criminals so no more innocent lives would be put at risk, so he took some technology from the enterprise he was working on and made his own suit calling himself; the Nightcreeper. During his first appearance as a vigilante, Eric was mistaken for the Prowler, who, in an attempt to prove his innocence, chased him to bring him to justice.
Nightcreeper meets the Prowler!
After a few fights, the two heroes discovered they were on the same side, but when they teamed-up to defeat a bunch of thugs Eric lost control and would have killed them if it wasn't for the Prowler. Some innocents were murdered that night and Eric couldn't forgive himself.[2]
Nightcreeper got into a fight with The Vulture, and almost died. He later escaped from the hospital and tried to help Hobie to catch the villain, but he was unsuccessful.
It's unknown if Eric is still using the identity of the Nightcreeper.Attributes
