Freedom Fighters: The Ray

Earth X is of a different Universe where the Nazis won WWII. In present time, a group of super powered Freedom Fighters led by The Ray fight back. But when Red Tornado is taken out and his cortex compromised, a wounded The Ray fleas with the cortex to another universe, Earth 1 which is the home of the Arrowverse.

The Ray finds his Earth 1 counterpart and bestows onto him his powers and gives him Red Tornado's cortex before he dies, leading Earth 1 Ray Terrill to dawn the superhero identity of The Ray. He learns his new powers while struggling with his love life and how to come out to his parents that he is gay, when the Nazi version of Supergirl called Overgirl tracks the cortex down on Earth.

Continuity mistake: After The Ray from Earth X comes and gives his powers to Ray, Ray goes to John's house and is telling him the story. The establishing shot is of Red Tornado's cortex sitting directly on the wood of the table, but when the camera jump cuts to higher up at them talking, the cortex is suddenly sitting on a book on the table.Then when Ray sits down on the couch next to John, the books have vanished and the cortex is just sitting on the wood again.

More quotes from Freedom Fighters: The Ray

Question: If Overgirl is Supergirl from Earth X, and Supergirl gets her powers the same way that Superman does, from sunlight, then how is The Ray, whose powers are based on using yellow light, able to hurt her with his powers? Wouldn't his blasts help her?

Answer: My understanding is the Ray uses pure light for his powers while Superman and Supergirl get their power from the solar energy of a yellow sun, not yellow light.

I see. But if it was from pure light, wouldn't his powers have a white glow and not a yellow glow?

Most likely just a styling choice. I just know the basics details of his powers and not sure why it comes out yellow (or if it's even stated.) Perhaps for the the same reason the sun appears yellow, short wavelength light becomes scattered.
