Midnight Crew

For the web comic on MS Paint Adventures.com in beta Universe B, see Andrew Hussie#Universe B.

The Midnight Crew first debuted in the unlockable pages on MS Paint Adventures.com, then reappeared as main characters in Homestuck. In both of its iterations, the gang is mainly comprised of the leader, Spades Slick, and his subordinates: Clubs Deuce, Diamonds Droog, and Hearts Boxcars.

In Problem Sleuth
In the Problem Sleuth unlockable pages, the Midnight Crew were a gang of mobsters who possessed powerful shadow magic. Over the course of the Midnight Crew's non-canon plot in Problem Sleuth, the gang recruits Mobster Kingpin, whom Jack uses shadow magic to turn into Shadow Mobster Kingpin.

In Homestuck
In Homestuck, the Midnight Crew are a gang of exiled Dersite carapacians on post-apocalypse Alternia. They are the rival gang to The Felt. Mobster Kingpin does not appear in Homestuck with the rest of the gang, most likely because the Midnight Crew in Problem Sleuth are different characters to the ones in Homestuck.

The Midnight Crew use an inventory system similar to characters in Problem Sleuth. HS 329 (There are 5 slots for weapons, and 1 slot for any other item). Usually, the one item is HS 1157 (the individual gang member's deck of cards)/HS 1161 (storage device) which can hold multiple items. This system is an inverse of the inventory system used by the sleuths in Problem Sleuth, who have PS 11 (5 slots for items and 1 slot for a weapon), among other miscellaneous slots they may have associated with worn artifacts like their coat pockets or hats.
