The Ray (Ray Terrill) is a superhero in the DC Universe. He is the son of Neon and the half-brother of Spitfire

Biography[]
Ray Terrill was born to Nadine and Happy Terrill in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, he was raised by his foster father and uncle Thomas Terrill. From a young age, Ray was told he was hypersensitive to light and direct exposure to sunlight could kill him. During these years, he only had one friend, a neighbor named Jennifer Jurden. When Thomas was dying, he told a 18 year old Raymond the truth; Raymond had no allergy to sunlight. He went onto tell him that he was actually the son of a superhero of the Golden Age named The Ray.
