History
Nothing is known about the current Night Nurse's past, not even her real name. The only thing that can be guessed is that she may have been rescued by a super-hero once, and after that decided to pay the super-human community back by ministering to their health. When she first appeared, she took care of a seriously injured Daredevil following his defeat by the Yakuza. Later, during
Nick Fury's Secret War, Night Nurse took care of badly injured
Luke Cage. During this time, the Night Nurse became known for her catch phrase "go to the room on the right," which is apparently a room in her hospital where she can heal the heroes unnoticed. After this event, she was interviewed by reporter
Ben Urich, where she again stated that she wanted to repay the super-hero community by taking care of their health. Daredevil apparently took a liking to Night Nurse, because after being shot by
Paladin, he asked
Elektra to take him to her. Shortly thereafter, even the
Black Widow visited the Night Nurse with Milla Donovan. Despite Daredevil's trust, Elektra was not impressed by the "careless" way the Night Nurse took care of her patients, and even ordered her Hand agents to teleport Daredevil away so they could take care of him themselves.
Daredevil still seems to trust the Night Nurse, because he took Spider-Man to her after he got stabbed in the neck.
Civil War
During the Civil War event, the Night Nurse took Captain America's side against the registration act, and now joins his resistance group. She now operates from SHIELD safe-house number 23.
Trivia
Though it was at first very hard to recognize the Night Nurse in Civil War #2, Marvel Editor Tom Brevoort stated in an interview on the Internet Site "Newsarama" that it was really her welcoming the
Young Avengers at the new headquarters.

There was a Marvel Comics title published in the mid-1970's, from which this character apparently has drawn her alias.*
