“	Her name is Doctor Light, small-time thief on my Earth until exposed to the Dark Matter from the Particle Accelerator and became a metahuman with the ability to derive power from starlight. Oh, very cool. Stars having a temperature of 5,300 degree kelvin and a blinding luminosity, I would say, "Not very cool at all." You know, our Dr. Wells may have been evil, but you're just a dick.	”
— Harry Wells and Cisco Ramon^[src]
