Sightess Simister Stooges

Two men... blinded both on sight and in insight... given a second chance to see again only to exploit  their opportunity. Philip Reardon and Timmy Reardon were each as the Ten-Eyed Man and Blindman, brief adversaries of the dark knight detectives.

Philip was a Vietnam War veteran who had an enduring injury of scrapnel fragments lodged in his forehead. After am incident with the Batman of Earth-One while employed as a security guard fighting off felons, Philip was blinded. However an eye doctor performed surgery that linked Reardon's optical nerves to his fingers. Seeking revenge on Batman, he began his career as the Ten-Eyed Man. This led to a couple battles with Batman and a later one with Man-Bat.

Timothy was an aspiring criminal who sought out an eye doctor who devised a special night vision pair of glasses. Slaying the inventor, the crook then attempted to commit a brazen threat using his abilities. Instead, he found himself face to face with the alter ego of the specialist's friend in Doctor Mid-Nite aka Charles McNider. Mid-Nite promptly defeated the "Blindman" and claimed the glasses Timothy had stolen. Thus eqiupped with this new eyewear, Doctor McNider's career continued.
