- "I am a long time, avid player of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games and have played both City of Heroes and City of Villains considerably since their respective launches. I’ve followed the games as they have evolved with each issue and update. Also, I am a veteran of MMO support and development, with over 5 years of experience at Sony Online Entertainment where I served in a number of roles, including: customer support, game production and community management."

Origin Story
- Main Article: Background
Lighthouse was a bomber pilot, presumably during the Second World War. His plane was shot down by enemy flak. He miraculously survived the explosion, and also the fall to the ground, despite being without a parachute. He takes his name from a lighthouse, near his airbase, that fascinated him.
Powers
- Possibly a kinetics or gravity controller, from the vague references to slowing down time in his origin story.
- Lighthouse ages at a reduced rate.
