Powers and Abilities:
Death Ray literally possesses the ability to defy death. Ray regularly puts himself in situations that would kill a normal man, only to quickly heal from his injuries in a matter of a few hours. Unfortunately, he can still feel the pain, but over the years his pain tolerance has grown to allow him to operate even under intense injury.

Ray is a trained fighter and often enters in to physical combat with much more powerful foes, unafraid of what damage they might do to him. In addition to his hand to hand combat skills, Ray carries a science fiction-esque blaster weapon he calls his “Ray Gun”. Although unreliable, the ray gun allows him to blast more powerful foes easily from a distance.

History:
Little is known about the history of Ray Paris before the coming of the Divide. Unconfirmed reports of training in Japan exist, but none that have been proven true. All that is know for certain is that Ray came to the Divide shortly after the signing of the closure order by the United States government. He took the name Death Ray and despite his inability to speak quickly became one of the citizenship’s premiere defenders against the tyranny of Mr. Mayor.

His new found popularity brought him in to conflict with the city’s last surviving member from its days as Detroit, the aging villain turned hero Double Cross. The ensuing feud would destroy massive amounts of the city and cost both men much of their standing in the community. Mr. Mayor used the anarchy to cement even greater levels of power and incarcerate Death Ray in an experimental metahuman holding facility.

In the facility he met the metahuman bounty hunter 187. The two men, along with the bioenergy power Gena Rator, helped each other to escape, only to have their partnership quickly turn sour on the streets of the Divide.

Gena Rator quickly introduced Death Ray to his newest partner, Bob Cat, and the two men quickly have become celebrated defenders of the oppressed citizens of the Steelworks district of the Divide.

Personality:
Death Ray gives a whole new meaning to the word grim. He seems completely devoid of humor at all times and remains focused on his unending goal to lead the people of the Steelworks and the Divide in opposition to any of the other would-be rulers of the city. He knows he was given his powers for a reason. He revels in any chance to use them for the greater good, even to the point of putting himself in harmful situations he could avoid.
