Bringing over the Solar Respect Thread. 1. Because its better and more well thought out than anything I could make. and 2 its a lot easier to just do it this way. So here we go

Warning: This respect thread has been done in the KMC forums before, so I’ll basically be using their images and explanations for all conventional purposes; furthermore, I’ll also be linking you to the original respect thread incase your feelings toward duplicate threads are of ill-content (original respect thread: background).
If you didn’t understand the aforementioned point I was attempting to convey, I’ll repeat in a concise manner – this is a compilation of links, quotes, and images from other sites including Wikipedia and KMC. There are far too many feats for me to even contemplate making detailed descriptions of; therefore, pardon my lack of creativity.
Also, since this is going to take a while – I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from posting until I am finished with the thread. Thank you for your cooperation, competence, etc.
History:
In the early 1990s, Doctor Solar, Turok, and Magnus, Robot Fighter, were licensed by Valiant Comics, which planned to use the characters as part of Jim Shooter's new superhero line. A number of changes were made to the character and his back-story. The new version (now known simply as Solar) was a physicist named Phil Seleski. Seleski was a fan of the Gold Key line, especially the adventures of Doctor Solar. One day, Seleski and his colleagues were testing a new type of fusion reactor. When an accidental breach threatened to decimate the entire area, Seleski rushed to shut down the reactor. He succeeded, but he was exposed to lethal doses of radiation in the process. Amazingly, the exposure didn't kill him. Instead, it gave him an ability to manipulate energy. Seleski tried to use his powers for the good of mankind. He became determined to destroy the world's supply of nuclear weapons. The US government tried to stop him. Unfortunately, their efforts caused Seleski to lose control of his powers, which in turn caused Earth to fall into a giant black hole.
Seleski wound up thrown several weeks back in time (or so he thought). The guilt over his role in destruction of his world caused him to split into two beings: Doctor Solar, who believed himself to be Seleski's childhood hero; and Phil Seleski, who retained all the memories of the original. Seleski sought to prevent an accident that gave him powers from taking place. His efforts were complicated by the presence of Doctor Solar, who was convinced that Seleski was a dangerous criminal. Eventually, Seleski managed to convince his alter-ego that they needed to work together. They fused with the past version of Seleski and prevented the accident. In the process, they discovered that Seleski's fusion reactor was actually a "wish machine" that allowed anyone within close proximity to change the universe in any way they saw fit. Before the original accident, Seleski wished that he could become his childhood superhero. As a result, the reactor simulated the events that gave the original Doctor Solar his powers. Seleski also found out that he didn't travel to the past. After falling into a black hole, he tried to recreate his universe. For the most part, he succeeded. However, there were several important differences, the most important of which was that Earth was now populated by a large number of super-powered beings.
The revelations inspired Seleski to take up the mantle of his childhood hero. He became known as Solar, Man of the Atom.
Solar went on to have many adventures, fighting a wide variety of threats, from Spider Aliens to malevolent Harbingers to Mothergod. He survived for many centuries. He blew himself up in an effort to stop the Spider Alien invasion of AD 4000.

Powers/Abilities:
Sonar has absolute control of energy; consequently, resulting in him being able to accomplish outlandish feats, which primarily consist of reality warping/manipulation, such as: time traveling, flying, blasting bolts of energy, control of gravity, (de)construction of realities, creation of universes/multi-verses, reviving the dead, erasing people from existence, etc.
