Secret ID: Raymond Terrill

Age: 30

Powers: The Ray has the power to process any form of illumination and use it for a variety of effects such as:

Flight- Raymond can fly at light speed, or nearly 700 miles an hour

Flashbangs- Raymond can produce a harmless amount of energy that is on par with the detonation of a nuclear bomb, rending everyone in a 50 mile radius to be blinded by the effects

Creation of Solid Light Constructs- for several seconds, Raymond can create solid light constructs on a simplistic level for hologram purposes

Invisibility- by bending the light waves around himself and others, Raymond can make himself invisible to the naked eye, but remains visible to all other forms of surviellance

Weaknesses: Raymond unfortunately possesses a rare and extreme case of Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, or an allergic reaction to light exposure. Whenever his powers are in use, he develops a body wide rash that takes weeks to a couple of months to recover from. This rash can range from localized after a quick fight with a criminal to an inability to move about as he would draw blood from too much movement with the infected area.

Personality: Hard drinking, Rough, Jerk with a Heart of Gold

Brief Bio

Raymond Terrill, otherwise known as T-Ray on the streets of Chicago amongst the less fortunate and homeless with whom he lives with. Raymond was born to unknown mother and a thug known on streets as Happy Terrill, and he was dumped on the doorstep of a homeless shelter who took him in and raised him. In his formative years he only ever heard of whom his father was, a selfish and morally ambiguous man with thoughts for only himself. Raymond though was unaware that the man he shared a room with in the shelter was Happy himself, acting like a guardian angel of sorts.

As Raymond grew up, he found himself very sickly during the day until a visit to a clinic doctor traveled his condition to him and told him that he could no longer walk in the light or it would kill him in a matter of weeks. So Raymond stayed in during the day and created a life for himself at night, finding himself to be much more agile and strong, his stamina as well being increased.

During the night though, the criminals of Chicago were much more active and Raymond had been pulled into that world through associates and people who paid for a little extra muscle. One night, he was pulled into a heist on a pawn shop next door to the homeless shelter that he lived at, and after an altercation and the plan going south, a fire had been started and consumed the shelter.

In attempt to stop things from getting worse, Raymond kept into action and tried to be a hero when he was confronted by his father in the blaze and witnessed him using his light based powers to fight the fire, but to no avail when a stray bullet from another victim's gin went off and struck him fatally. In his dying moments Happy revealed that he had never left his son's side and that the two of them had been exposed to a alien light the night he was born, which killed his mother and affected Raymond in both a positive and negative manner.

In a fit of anger and rage, Raymond consumed the heat of the fire and unleashed it upon the thugs. With his dead father in his arms, Raymond vowed that he would become a Ray of hope in the darkness of other's lives. Due to lying low during the day he has become an urban legend, but a hero in his own right.
