Piperka

Carter's parents, devout pacifists, always tried to instill their beliefs on their young son, trying to keep him away from reading or viewing anything that would encourage violence as a solution to any of life's problems. Carter continued to read comic books in secret, even after his parents were murdered by a gang member mugging them.

Carter devoted himself to following the pacifist views of his parents... until the harsh conditions of Pharos City finally drove him to realize that Pharos City would never be saved unless he took action. Born with unusual powers to manipulate light, and thanks to sewing lessons from his Home Ec classes taken in high school, Carter designed his Lightbringer outfit and now fights to make Pharos City a better place to live.
