Gay superhero to lead new CW series ‘Freedom Fighters: The Ray’
By Will Stroude
Following the success of the DC Comics superhero shows like Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, US network The CW have announced a new animated series which will have a gay hero called The Ray.
Freedom Fighters: The Ray will differ from the comics on which the character is based: Instead of being born with powers, Raymond ‘Ray’ Terrill will have a more Marvel Fantastic Four exposure to a science experiment and gain powers.
Raymond works as a reporter before joining the Freedom Fighters to defend the world with his light-based powers.
It is hoped that should the show prove a success, the character cross over into The CW’s live-action shows like Arrow and The Flash.
A musical, a four-part crossover, a gay hero, and more?! #DCTV is about to get EPIC, people. https://t.co/p1vagPdzrmpic.twitter.com/P7dq11OtA6
