Powers and Abilities:

Ray Terrill's power is that of solar-powered mind over matter. Once his body absorbs sunlight, he can direct the energy to rearrange molecules into any form, matter or energy. Storing sunlight, he can even function in darkness for a limited amount of time. The only limitations to this ability lie in his capacity for concentration and the duration of his energy expulsion. Flight, energy blasts, and the creation of his uniform and helmet require only minimum power and subliminal thought. Larger and more complicated manipulations of energy and matter require extended meditation and more power. The color black is most resistant to Ray's power, but it will eventually succumb. Ray is still growing accustomed to his power, so his control will undoubtedly increase as he grows more experienced.

Background:
Ray Terrill was told he was light-hyper-sensitive and exposure to sunlight would kill him. Privately tutored in his window-darkened home, Ray's most earnest wish was for normalcy. At eighteen, by his supposed father's deathbed, Ray learned his life was a lie. He was not allergic to light, nor did he have to live in darkness. Most disturbing of all, he discovered his true father was the '40s super-hero the Ray. At his "father's" funeral, Ray met his cousin, Hank Terrill, who helped him first face sunlight and the resulting powers. Hank urged Ray to become a super-hero, but Ray refused. It was then that the first Ray reappeared, pressuring his son to take up the heroic role while revealing his origin. Ray found himself as a member of the Justice League for a time. He was later on drafted into the Justice League Task Force by Martian Manhunter where he received a much needed training and control of his powers. He remains to be an active hero up to this day. He recently escaped death while on a mission with the current JSA to paralyze Imperiex ship during the World at War crisis.
