Illumination

Illumination (real name Laoire Allanach) is a WWII hero.

Biography
They were a powerful super, the child of Irish immigrants who’d come to New York and was very mysterious. For example, there are very few recorded mentions of Illumination’s gender identity, so very few people knew that they preferred to use they/them pronouns and did not consider themself as being within the gender binary. Their close comrades in the regiment knew, however, and referred to Allanach with they/them pronouns in private. Illumination was a godsend during the war. Their specialty was stealth and they led many groups of refugees and lost soldiers and civilians to safety in the dark of the night in many frightening circumstances. They were very grateful for the end of the war, and they dropped out of the spotlight of America as soon as they possibly could, in order to retain their private life. Illumination was actually reported missing sometime after the super ban was put into place and to this day they have never been found. Their legacy remained in their nephews, Silas and Samuel Seabury, aka the Luminators, who inherited their light-manipulation abilities and went on to be superheroes for the NSA.
