HISTORY
Doctor Kimiyo Hoshi gained light-based powers while star-gazing during the earth-shattering Crisis. These powers are formidable, having many applications beyond simply blasting light at an opponent. She is a single mother, and after a period as a well-respected member of the Justice League, she decided to devote more time to her family than to super-heroics, only emerging briefly from retirement in times of the direst need. For a time she was vice-president of KordTech's research and development division.
