Didn't The Ray has a sidekick for a while in the fifties? Spitfire or something like that? Whatever happened to him?

Yes that's a rather tragic tale that one and a story that highlights the dangers that come with superhuman abilities no matter who your parents are.

(A photograph from the Philadelphia Inquirer showing Spitfire's temporary rampage through the city.) Joshua Terrill was born to the first Ray, Langford "Happy" Terrill and his first wife Rachael in the late 1940s with genetic abilities inherited from his father. The ability to direct, absorb and control photons of visible light. His abilities were even stronger than his father's, able to take on a fully intangible form. He was unveiled to the world as the Ray's sidekick Spitfire for a few months around the passing of the Keane Act. The Keane Act making their actions rife with hostile encounters with police and the public revealed Joshua's burgeoning mental instability, a violent instinct in the boy that was only more damaging because of the destructive potential of his abilities. During an argument with his mother, the young Joshua lost control, turning his abilities on her to fatal results. Naturally horrified by his son's actions, the elder Ray restrained his son and placed him in cryogenic status until a time where the interaction between his mental illness and his powers could be better treated, especially with government hostility against publically active superhumans being at an all time high. This personal tragedy is what lead the Ray to abandon our reality and join the expedition of the Freedom Fighters that set off to liberate the Nazi dominated Earth-X. It wasn't until the second and current Ray uncovered the still slumbering Joshua that much of this information came to light, as the awakened Spitfire went on a nearly fatal rampage across Philadelphia. Eventually both Rays were able to bring the young man under control (leading to a rather heartbreaking scene of young Joshua breaking down sobbing and begging his father for help while wrapped around his ankles. It really is watching a snarling supervillain turn into a scared 10 year old in the blink of an eye) The boy has, very rightly, been kept away from the public eye since then under the care of the Ray and his second wife Nadine. He is enrolled in STAR Labs' superhuman psychology unit through their Philadelphia branch where one can assume he is undergoing intensive therapy not only for his native mental disquiet but also the trauma of the events he has been through. He has been at the center of the so called "Killer Kids" 'movement' when a national forum of 'concerned' parents and other authorities figures attacked programs like STAR Labs for offering these kinds of rehabilitation programs to "metahuman delinquents" rather than placing them in a juvenile detention facility or, as many in the movement prefer, stating that the possession of metahuman abilities automatically should force one to be tried as an adult. My thoughts on such a "movement" are simplistic and can usually be communicated in a series of very impolite four letter words at very high volume. Especially when the apex of this movement's popularity escalated to protests and threats being made toward or around the Terrills' Philadelphia home. Which I'm sure only further exacerbated Joshua's mental distress. The movement has died down into the realm of vague conspiracy theories (though the movement endorsed Lex Luthor for president *cough cough*) and as far as is publically known Joshua continues his recovery in private, surrounded by trusted professionals and family. I will reiterate my personal and professional stance that the Terrills are owed their privacy and that any public speculation of Joshua's current condition is just that, speculation and I condemn any attempt to invade or interrupt the boy's life for our public knowledge, curiosity or "judgement"

@upswings I had a go at it.

My further notes on this:

I am KICKING myself over who in DC has been written out of existence by their parent, but Wanda’s a classic pick anyway.

I just can’t work out who was transformed by powerful unknown magics and I’m going to groan when I get it.

Additions from my own backlog of ridiculous canon:

If you killed his clone in a fight? Was that clone you killed your son? (Travis Morgan and Joshua Morgan)

When you’re a computer program who THINKS you’re the father of that son (Death Masque and Ray Terrill)

If your son died in a car crash and then you found out an alternate version of him was raised by Granny Goodness (Donna Troy and Robbie Long)

If your son has been cloned and the clone raised by his evil grandfather? (Don Allen and Thad Thawne)

When a scientist gets infected by a sample of tissue from your son being held in captivity and being experimented on (Preston Payne, Sondra Fuller, Cassius Payne and Peter Malley)

[isfjmel-phleg]

I got myself an account to edit DC Wiki because an article got a (very minor) character's name wrong. Joshua Terrill's mother was named Gayle, it's listed correctly on Joshua's page, but his father's gave it as "Rachael." This is incorrect.

(The Ray 1994 #28)

Anyway, last night I fixed this.

And then this morning someone just changed it back???? Excuse me?

[dc-worse-dad-poll]

Round One, Part Seventeen!

Who's the worse dad?

View the brackets here. Reasons for submission beneath the cut.

Happy Terril:

He locked one 10 year old son (Joshua) up in cryogenic suspension in a missile silo because he couldn’t deal with him. He then had his next son (Ray) raised completely in the dark by his brother and lied that if Ray went outside he’d die. And that’s just their origin stories.

A bitch-ass man who declined to raise his son for eighteen years, lied to him about sunlight killing him and to everyone else about his son having died in childbirth, and then had the temerity to complain about how the kid he did absolutely nothing to parent turned out. Somehow a worse father figure than Vandal Savage, a man who grows his descendants in vats so they can give him replacement body parts.

Submitting this in honor of my mutuals who are reading the rat. I only have second hand knowledge, but here’s a list of asshole moves: https://www.tumblr.com/zahri-melitor/733240370667929600/this-poll-has-thoroughly-amused-me-because-two

Ebenezer Batson:

He is Billy's uncle and former legal guardian, who stole the family's money and then abandoned Billy to live on the streets. He later tries to steal more from Billy, by taking the money he earned from being a radio jockey.

Transcript below the cut.

Today is Wednesday, June 10, 2020. There will not be a new episode of Unwell today. Following the example and the words of Black Lives Matter Chicago, we call for an end to the state violence against and criminalization of Black communities through police forces, an unjust legal system, and federal, state, and local political organizations.  

As the artists of HartLife NFP, we call on our fellow art makers in positions of institutional power and privilege to take concrete actions to make your institutions and artistic work explicitly and actively anti-racist.  

We affirm our commitment to do the same here. We will interrogate ourselves when we have fallen short of this goal and recommit to do better every time.  

The United States is a country founded on land stolen from indigenous peoples, built with the stolen labor and lives of enslaved Black people. We call especially on White listeners to reckon with this fact, today and every day.    

The following list is both incomplete and horrifyingly long. These people were victims of hate crimes, police officers and of an unjust, white supremacist system.

We say their names and we remember their lives.

Time for some Joshua Terrill propaganda. I think DC should bring him back. For chaos.

Look at this innocent baby.

He is tiny and sweet and harmless. He goes by the code name Spitfire and he used to fight supervillains with his dad back in the early 1950s.

He was born in the mid-late 1940s. He was cryogenically frozen by his own father for 40 years.

He’s just a lil hungry kid.

Who has fine enough control over his light ray powers to pop popcorn with it.

Oh and also blow you to kingdom come if you scare him. He doesn’t like monsters.

Embracing Supernatural & Psychic Abilities | Leslie Luminare

In this episode Leslie Luminare speaks with TruthSeekah about supernatural and psychic abilities and how they affect our lives. Leslie talks about how the supernatural has been very natural throughout her life even back into childhood. She has always had a fascination with psychic abilities and the spirit world. These experiences were normal in her childhood, so much so that she thought that everyone possessed these abilities and knew about their functions. Leslie talks about being able to communicate with animals and being able to read and sense their emotions and feelings. A deeper look into empathy shows us that we are connected with every living being on this planet from humans, to the animals as well as the plant kingdoms and beyond. Everything and everyone is an extension of ourselves therefore if any sentient being feels pain people who are very sensitive on this level feel pain within their own bodies as well. This has led people in too deep states of depression and many have no idea what they are experiencing. This is why this conversation must be had, because the pharmaceutical companies are drugging our prophets and Seers. When people talk about this unexplainable depression the doctors are quick to give you a pill to cheer you up. For those who are restless in the wee hours of the night when the veil is thin between the spirit realm and ours, there's a pill for that as well. It is our duty to educate, inform and equip those who are experiencing what is deemed as awakening symptoms. Many people much like Leslie Luminaire have been experiencing the symptoms from birth. To many this is very natural, but yet it can lead others down a path of drug and substance abuse. Now I beckon you the reader to walk in your full potential. Do something about this. Many of you reading this even now feel deep down within a connection and compassion with people who are experiencing these symptoms for you have experienced them yourself. This is what empathy is all about.
