Notes

• The character's real name was never established. There have been several DC Comics characters who has gone by the moniker "the Ray". However, the main two are Langford and Ray Terrill (father and son). In the comics, Langford is a reporter (and depicted as belonging to the same generation as the original members of the Justice Society of America). Meanwhile, Ray is a freelance computer programmer (and depicated as belonging to the same generation as the members of the Justice League). The Ray mentioned in Alien is said to be a communications expert, which then points to Ray Terrill (the freelance computer programmer) as the most likely candidate.
• It is unknown if the Ray possesses any powers. In the comics, all incarnations of the Ray possesses light-based powers.
• In the comics, the Ray Terrill incarnation of the Ray is homosexual.

Ray Terrill/The Ray as he appears in the comics

The Ray was originally a Quality Comics superhero, who first appeared in Smash Comics #14 (September, 1940). In his civilian identity, he was a reporter named "Happy" Terrill. DC Comics later acquired the rights to the characters created by Quality Comics. The Ray was introduced into the DC universe, and was given the full name Langford "Happy" Terrill and became a member of the Freedom Fighters.

The Ray #1 (February, 1992), introduced Ray Terrill (son of Langford) as the new Ray. Ray Terrill was a freelance computer programmer and software designer. He became a member of the Justice League, and was briefly romantically involved with Black Canary. A revamped version of Ray Terrill was introduced in Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth #1 (March, 2017), and was depicted as being in a same-sex relationship.

A third Ray, Stanley Silver, was introduced in Brave New World #1 (August, 2006). Unlike the first two, Stanley Silver turned out to be a villain.

A fourth Ray was introduced in The Ray Vol 3 #1 (February, 2012). His name was Lucien Gates, and was a superhero like the first two incarnations of the Ray.
