History
Kimiyo Hoshi was the supervising astronomer at an observatory in Japan, overseeing a group of male astronomers charting the unnatural effects of the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Disgusted by the men's fear of the approaching antimatter cloud, she arrogantly tells them all off (including her own father), and orders them to leave, so she can study the phenomenon alone through her telescope.
Meanwhile, the Monitor, a being linked with all positive matter, senses his enemy, the Anti-Monitor, absorbing yet another positive-matter Earth with his antimatter cloud. In order to tip the scales for the heroes of the positive universe, the Monitor activates one last warrior.
He sends a devastating beam of energy from the star Vega to Earth, which strikes the observing Hoshi, leaving massive destruction in its wake. Granted the power of photonics and the name Doctor Light, Hoshi is assigned by the Monitor to guard one of the vibrational forks needed to save the Earth. Teen Titans member Starfire and Outsiders member Halo set out to destroy the machine. Since Doctor Light can't speak to them in English, she resorts to blasting them away from the machine. Superman is the first to communicate with her, given his knowledge of most of Earth's languages.
Once the Earth's heroes are brought aboard the Monitor's satellite, the Japanese-speaking Katana takes over as Kimiyo's translator.
Doctor Light, granted the ability to understand English, accompanies several heroes to the anti-matter universe to confront the Anti-Monitor. She and Superman soon discover the machines that the villain has deployed to destroy the remaining Earths. The Anti-Monitor ambushes the Man of Steel; Doctor Light defends Superman as best she can. Supergirl arrives, and sacrifices her life, allowing Doctor Light to carry the unconscious Superman to safety.
Seeing Supergirl's sacrifice makes Doctor Light realize how selfish she has been, and she resolves to change.
When Harbinger summons her to fight in the final battle, Doctor Light is ready. As the other heroes barrage the Anti-Monitor, she absorbs the energy of a gigantic star that he is using as a power source. Scoring the first fall of the Anti-Monitor during that battle, she blasts a gaping hole through him.
In the post-Crisis continuity, Supergirl was written out of existence, so it is explained that Doctor Light was inspired by the other heroes.
She is potentially one of the most powerful superheroines in the DC Universe, but she has not tapped into the heightened levels of power she used during the Crisis. (Although few remember those events, Doctor Light is one of the few who do, seeing as how she once mentioned that she's faced "Anti-Matter Gods".)
Doctor Light has joined the Justice League a few times over the years, most notably as a member of Justice League Europe during the latter half of its incarnation. (She was also a one-time ally of the Outsiders and was briefly part of an incarnation of the Doom Patrol.) During her time on the Justice League Europe, she believed that her anti-social attitude during the Crisis was due to the food she regularly ate, after Power Girl is diagnosed with a similar condition. However, it is revealed that her behavior in Crisis was, in fact, her genuine behavior. While a member of the Justice League, Doctor Light formed significant friendships with The Flash (Wally West) and Power Girl, and started a romance with the Japanese member of the Global Guardians known as Rising Sun.
Following his recovery from the mind-wipe he suffered at the hands of the Justice League, Arthur Light, the villianous male Doctor Light attacked Doctor Hoshi and drained her of her powers.
It appeared that her de-powerment was temporary; she used her powers to aid in the evacuation of Tokyo, Japan. In that same issue she was warned by Bart Allen, in the costume of the Silver Age Flash, of the escape of an enraged Superboy-Prime. She was later seen battling the evil Doctor Light.
A flashback in reveals that Doctor Light and The Ray, heroes possessing solar-based powers, took part in an unsuccessful attempt to re-activate Superman's powers.
Given this dating, Kimoyo's depowerment took place during the events of 52 - Week 2 which, given Kimiyo and Green Arrow's appearances at the end of 52 - Week 1, would appear to make sense, although it in turn makes nonsense of information contained in Green Arrow vol. 3, #54, where it is revealed that Kimiyo has not used her powers for two years. In addition, the issue also places Kimiyo, who lives in Japan (and is seen there in Infinite Crisis #5), working as a business executive in Star City.
The story arc also concludes with Green Arrow experiencing a strange multiplying effect that places the story during Infinite Crisis, not two weeks after the event's conclusion. (Several other characters in the DCU experienced this effect in the issue of their titles that immediately preceded the OYL jump.)
It is not possible to resolve all the continuity problems with this story other than to ascribe them to the effects of Superboy Prime tampering with reality during Infinite Crisis (or to writer's error).
Kimiyo Hoshi appeared in costume in 52 Week 35, alongside various other heroes assisting the injured victims of Lex Luthor. She is also shown in 52 Week 50, in the climactic battle of World War III.
Dr. Light appears in World War III: United We Stand, the fourth issue of the World War III mini-series that coincided with 52 Week 50. She is one of the first wave of heroes who confront (and are taken down by) Black Adam. (He grasps her neck with such force that she instantly blacks out before he throws her aside.)
Oracle invited Kimiyo to join the Birds of Prey (issue #100), but she was not selected to take part in the first mission.

Eyes: Brown

Unusual Features: None.
Personality:
Kimiyo is a very determined woman. She is everything she is today, because of her. She strives to be better then she is. And accepts challenges, that would rival her to do better. If she weren't determined then she might have not have her powers today. Which Kimiyo takes great pride in. When her powers were taken from her; Kimiyo was restless, until they returned. She doesn't seem to hold grudges, and forgives easily. Dr. Light has a temper which is proned to go off, if someone pushes her. At times, she is mostly calm and collective. But when someone really rubs her the wrong way. Lets just say stand back fifty feet. In general Kimiyo is a very understanding woman, who is easy to talk too. She sees sitations from different aspectives. And can be called the 'mother' figure at times. But how can she not be called that, when she has two kids too look after.
Powers
Known Powers: Doctor Light has the ability to manipulate ambient light for a variety of purposes. She can absorb all forms of illumination, and release that absorbed enregy as blinding flashes or light, or destructive laser beams. She can refract lightwaves to create holographic images.

She can fly by riding lightwaves.
Known Abilities: <Add In>
Strength Level: Dr. Light as the average strength of a woman who works out intensly every week.
Weaknesses:
Stressed: Kimiyo is dedicated to her work as an astromner. And it usually puts stress on her shoulders. Being a hero adds to that. At times she can't find the time of day to do all of the needed things to do. And can be become extremely short tempered.
Light: Dr. Light needs well, light. It is the one thing that powers her. And without that she is severly powerless. I.E. if she is in a dark room, with no light whatsoever, she would be powerless.
Human: Kimiyo is just human. She can be defeated as other humans can. Such as: stabbing, shooting, diseases, excessive blood wounds, etc.
Magic and Telepathy: Magic and Telepathy can influenence Kimiyo just like everyone else. She is still vulnerable to it. And it is unknown what could happen if she were under its influence.
