Ha you got me sorry… Old habits die hard.
I lke Glimmer except that glimmers are small and I don’t thnk of you as small. Wait, that didn’t come out right. You have a large PRESENCE. Only problem with Glimmer.
Radiance fits with the light theme tho kind of radiationy too, but radiance is warm and and clear and (at the right spectra) visible, and thats how you are/should be. If YOU Like it, then go for it!
[I dig Radiance - it’s got a classic teen heroes feel - you’d want to go heavy on the light for light’s sake sort of powers, but that’s totally cool anyway.]

Based on the image and ideas already presented, I’m immediately reminded of Taskmaster’s Hardlight Generator he used to duplicate people’s weaponry when he would duplicate others’ fighting styles. Hell, given the 2B imagery that’s been associated with the Newman sisters, that then makes me think of Lambda 11 from Blazblue. Definitely an interesting route to take for a hero.

If Jason got a look at some of that Lambda 11 art, we could aim his nose at a water-wheel and harness the jets of blood to generate power.
Right now, Summer’s conflicts seem to be (a) secrets and (b) self-discovery. To that end, she may go through a period where she’s either actively or unconsciously borrowing styles from the heroes around her, and tinkering with her own body and powers to establish something unique. She can’t match Concord in power, Mercury in speed, Charade in skill, or Ghost Girl in utility, so she’ll try to find some new niche where she belongs. I the player am still trying to figure that out too. So while that’s going on, yeah, things like holographic equipment and weapons are on the table.
Watching Summer’s exploration in this vein is fascinating. I’m honored Jason was one of her first choices to ask (it makes sense, but still …), and I loved the Nono stuff (esp. the twist at the end). I’ll be curious to see how or if she draws in the others.

I’d already intended for her to have Jason as her support NPC on the supers side (he’d already announced plans to do something like this, his tech may need a workout in the field, she enjoys interacting with him, etc.). On the mundane side, I’d like to make Nono into her first secret keeper, and expand into the rest of the Ponies that way.
The fact that Nono has written Jason fanfiction will just make their eventual interactions all the more fascinating to watch…?
I’m hoping to share the Ponies as supporting cast with Charlotte as well (it gives the two of them shared stakes if anything happens in Ponyville).
