Fictional character biography

[edit]

Golden Age version

[edit]

The unnamed man who would become Doctor Light held a faculty position at Ivy League University until he was fired for conducting dangerous experiments on university grounds. In response, he became Doctor Light, a criminal who wields light-based technology. At 3:00 a.m. in a New York town, he generates enough light to make it feel like it is the middle of the day, distracting the police officers and security guards and allowing Light to rob an armored vault. Light's crime spree is noticed by Doctor Mid-Nite, who tracks him down. However, Light gains the upper hand in the fight, which results in Doctor Mid-Nite getting a twisted ankle while Light escapes. The next time Doctor Mid-Nite confronts Light, he brings his Blackout Bombs with him, allowing him to defeat Light.[1]

Jacob Finlay

[edit]

Jacob Finlay is a scientist and co-worker of Arthur Light who invented the Light Suit consisting of light technology. He became Doctor Light and stopped a spy that was sent by S.T.A.R. Labs. The next day, Finlay is repairing the light rig when Arthur Light accidentally activates it, killing Finlay. Haunted by Finlay's ghost, Light becomes the supervillain Doctor Light.[2]
