7. The Ray
Something that is gonna become crystal clear, if it hasn’t already, is that I have a love for nineties DC comics. Wally West and Kyle Rayner are my Flash and GL of choice, Morrison’s JLA is my jam, and I love those weird little books that no one remembers or cares about. And one of these is The Ray.
The Ray is the story of Ray Terrill, the son of the forties hero The Ray. Ray’s been told from birth that he suffers from a condition that means he isn’t allowed in the sunlight. As an adult, he accidentally stumbles outside, only to discover that he secretly has immense power. With the help of his recently returned father and friends, Ray has to come into his own as a hero. The man who is faster than light, the man who explodes with immense power: The Ray.
Again, it has a great supporting cast and a likeable protagonist. Plus, the idea that superhero The Ray’s secret identity is…Ray, is really funny to me.
Jack C. Harris’ work writing the character made him an instant favorite of mine, so I’d love to see Ray and crew on the small screen.
