Lightshow

Liam Light, aka Lightshow, is a criminal with the ability to create and manipulate light. He is known for wanting to be in the spotlight, and often comes in conflict with the hero named Recur.

Origins
At a young age, Liam and his mother moved away from his father, Shinon Light. His mother wanted to leave the life of crime behind so that her son could grow up in a safe environment. She told Shiron never to contact her or Liam again, or she would confess the crimes he had committed. Whenever Liam brought up his father, his mother often told him that his father did not want to see them because he considered him a disappointment. While she meant this to protect Liam, it created problems for Liam as he had a constant need to prove himself and wanting attention.

In his early teens, Liam discovered that he had the power to create and manipulate light, but he kept it a secret from everyone until his mother finally found out. Despite this, his mother never revealed any details about Shinon so he couldn't try to contact him himself. It wasn't until one point that Liam demanded to know his father's name or he would run away from home. Left with no other choice, his mother told Liam that his father's real name and and alter ego as Mr. Light, who was operating as a major crime lord in Advent City.

Finally realizing the truth, Liam wanted to prove himself as he got into crime to get his father's attention and becoming the villain Lightshow, ultimately becoming what his mother had been trying to hold back and protect him from all these years.

Personality
Lightshow is selfish, arrogant, desperate for attention as he constantly wanted. It did not sit well with his father, who was unlike him and pushed his son to be better.

Powers and abilities
Light manipulation: Liam is able to generate light out of the palms of his hands. He is also able to blind people or even burn them alive, however due to not being purely evil, he restrains from his conduct of killing. He is also able to light up or darken areas, which he can use to make a spectacular entrance or escape.

Weaknesses
Mirrors: Lightshow's powers can be reflected with mirrors, which can redirect his own power back at him causing him to go blind or worse.

Need for attention: Liam often strives in places where many people can see him because of his need for attention, which makes him somewhat predictable. Nevertheless, he is not an enemy to be underestimated, as he has many tricks up his sleeve.
