Fictional character biography

The character's alter ego is Andrew Prentiss a student and citizen scientist from Fairview, Tennessee, part of Nashville. During a night at summer camp a light envelopes him, it gives him the power of flight, luminescence, and durability. He initially assumes the powers must have been granted by extraterrestrials, but after returning home he saves himself and his brother from a demonic possessed man, and an elderly biker named Gus who witnessed the ordeal recognizes the powers as being divine in nature. His powers are dependent on his Christian faith, which is depicted through his luminescence, and he uses his powers to combat demonic villains. He is one of the Marvel Universe's Earth-616 human mutate characters.
