I am still "in the dark" about our hero Dr. Light. Whatever happened to him?
He's actually a bad guy

That was Dr. Light? I could have sworn that was Mike the Wiz.
Damn, that was a good party.

Strangely the first episode of the new series actually has an honest-to- god evil trashcan in it....

It's too bad it wasn't the kind that burns trash. It could have run around yelling "INCINERATE! INCINERATE!"

Actually, now that I have thought it through, if Magneto was powerful enough, he could control just about everything organic. Essentially, all things that are made of things that are bipolar in nature are influenced by magnetic fields. It, however, would require so much energy that it would suck the life out of him.
With that in mind, Magneto can possibly control people's minds to a certain degree. Although not as efficient as prof X, he could probably make people go crazy or suffer from hallucinations.
My question is this. We know that magnetism and electric fields are related. Every life form have some kind of electric field. Is it possible for Magneto to use this to his advantage?

Grant Morrison kinda used him that way (as Xorn) in his recent run.

I don't know what that means, but the prefix "rectal-" always means comedy gold.

It's when the electrical impulses from the optic nerve get crossed with those from the rectal nerve and you end up with a shitty outlook on life.

Is this the Auton wheely-bin that eats the boyfriend of the Billie Piper character ? I thought I'd seen or heard something to that effect recently but was begining to think I'd imagined it as nobody else I know had heard anything like that.
Of course, related to the reply from Dan later episodes will also have evil trashcans - the variety that have been crossed with a sink plunger and an egg whisk...

Confused ? You will be...

I'm not sure you got your answer.
I can't think of any comic book characters who simply use light. Are you proposing some new character, or really asking about existing heroes in comics?
If you are talking about Green Lantern, his power, while expressed in light, is will-controlled energy manipulation (electormagnetic, gravity, radiation, heat, light, 'concussive force', etc. IMO his real power is and since the Golden Age Green Lantern has always been -- tada -- Wish Fullfillment!
Many heroes/villians with light powers have something like energy manipulation, the phrase solid-light followed by construct/manipulation/creation gets a fair amount of use.

In the stone age of RPGs our group made up UnSuperHeroes. A set of twins, one had the ability to create a maze of dots of light on any surface. His brother the ability to make an even larger dot that could gobble up the other dots. Mine was something like the ability to animate dust bunnies as long as they stayed under a bed.
