Sunburst
Takeo Sato gains the ability to turn solar energy into light or heat after inhaling volcanic vapors as a child. He accidentally discovers these powers when working as a stuntman on the low-budget television series "Sunburst." When the cables used to make him appear to fly break, he finds out that he can actually fly. Keeping his powers a secret at first, he is forced to use them to commit robberies after his parents are kidnapped by a gang of crooks. Sato frees them with the help of Superboy, who later uses a form of hypnosis on Takeo so that he would forget how to access his Sunburst powers, seemingly for good (NSB No. 45, Sept. 1983: "Sunburst, Public Enemy #1!").
