Kiran Singh/Solstice of DC Comics’ Teen Titans
Created by J.T. Krul and Nicola Scott, Kiran is an Indian superhero from Delhi, the daughter of archaeologists Vijay and Rani Singh, who was part of the Teen Titans. She has the ability to manipulate light and create energy blasts from it, as well as use it for flight. Interestingly, in the post-Flashpoint universe (aka the New 52) she had a “black smoke” form whenever she used her abilities. Unfortunately, she’s not appeared as much in the comics recently, but there’s always room for a comeback. I also find it rather fascinating that both she and Summer Zahid have seemingly parallel powers (warm light vs. cold ice) and similar forms when they use their powers to their full potential. We need a Desi team-up with these two, please, DC!
