New Genesis

Solis is a native of New Genesis, the planet of light that balances dark Apokolips. Even amoung the people of that bright world, Solis was a beacon of happiness and light. Growing up he befriended Orion, the scion of Darkseid. Solis's happy, peaceful nature was a counter-balance to Orion's innate anger. While exploring on New Genesis, the pair encountered soldiers from Apokolips preparing for battle. These soldiers had been turned into living light. They spotted Solis and attacked him with their light weapons. Solis was rescued by Metron, but was already in a coma. When Metron finally revived him, Solis had absorbed the light energy and gained new powers. He eventually mastered these new abilities and became Lightray.

Powers and Abilities

Like all the New Gods, Lightray is stronger, more agile and more durable than humans are and is able to fly. Lightray's powers also enable him to harness various frequencies of light and use it's radiation to blind opponents or as damaging blasts. He can also move at the speed of light, possibly greater. He has been shown to use jewel-like meteoroids to increase his blasts in fantastic proportions, described as a fiery holocaust. He also has been shown to explode matter and create a sun. He is so powerful he can even create a nova burst, or rearrange atoms. While a good natured god, he can be quite a foe.
