The CW will be introducing a new animated series, Freedom Fighters: The Ray, on the online streaming service CW Seed. Like its animated predecessor Vixen, The Ray will tie into the larger CW DC universe — including an eventual appearance for the title character on TV.
The Ray, debuting in 2017, will center around Raymond "Ray" Terrill, a reporter who gains light-based powers after being exposed to a "genetic light bomb." Ray discovers the bomb in his investigation of a secret government project attempting to harness the power of light and weaponize it.
Under the name The Ray, Terrill is brought into the fold of a group called Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters.
