Nightmask

Keith Remsen (Earth-148611)

As Keith Remsen bid his family farewell for a summer trip to Zurich, tragedy struck in the form of a terrorist bomb which took the life of both his parents and crippled his sister, Teddy. Remsen fell into a coma and was left with a crescent moon shaped scar on his forehead.

After some time at the hospital, an event, which came to be known as the White Event, a white light which engulfed the world for a matter of seconds woke Remsen from his coma.

Remsen discovered that he acquired the ability to enter the dreams of others when he was himself asleep. In this dream state, Remsen battles the fears of others as he attempts to help them find peace which cascades down to their awakened state.

Remsen also has a symbiotic link with his sister, Teddy, who assists him by calling out to him while he is in the dream state of other people. The allows Remsen to return to a conscious state.

Much later, Remsen discoved that he could give himself the persona of Nightmask which enables him to hide his identity from those people whose dreams he visits.
