COMICS: DC Unveils First Look At The Ray #1 - "The New 52" Version Of The Hero!

Get ready for a brand new Ray! Lucien Gates’s life is changed forever when he is struck by a mysterious beam of energy that turns him into a glowing gladiator – and being a human ray of light comes in handy when his city is suddenly under attack from giant, building-sized monsters. Unfortunately, light powers are less than handy in keeping his girlfriend happy.

The Ray's previous design was cool. Why would they screw that up? He looks like a rip off of Quasar if he somehow became a herald of Galactus. SMH!

This is a new Ray named Lucien Gates.

It looks like an alright mini, but I probably won't end up buying it.
