Raymond Terrill (Arrowverse)

I don't know much about this Earth. But I know something about my Earth. My Earth is like this one. My Earth isn't perfect, i-i-its no way close to perfect, but at least there's hope and I'm here to tell you that it's possible. That freedom is possible. You can be exactly who you are without having to live in fear. I can help you imagine a better world, the world you can have if you're willing to fight for it. I'm willing to fight for it, because I've seen it. And I'll fight like hell to show it to you.

— The Ray ^src

Ray Terrill was transported to the nightmare world Earth-X and took his doppelganger's place as the Ray, a member of the Freedom Fighters against the Nazi regime.

History

All his life, Ray Terrill has fought injustice, dreaming of making a real difference like his older brother, a Marine who was killed in Afghanistan. One day, he stumbles upon a dying superhero from another Earth and is stunned to find that this superhero looks just like him—because it is! The dying Ray Terrill of Earth-X transfers photokinetic energy to this Earth's Ray, making him a superhero — The Ray. However, Ray quickly learns being a superhero isn't all hanging muggers from streetlamps and fighting giant robots. As the evil Nazi New Reichsman of Earth-X, led by Overgirl, close in, The Ray must learn to harness his powers by coming to terms with his true self, even if that means also finally coming out of the closet to his parents. The fate of Earth-X depends on it!^[3]
