HISTORY

Though famous in her native Japan, the superheroine Arashi is almost unheard of in the West. Arashi has no known superpowers, instead she relies on technology. An advanced jetcycle armed with forward mounted rapid fire weaponry is her prefered method of transport. A cyber helmet presumably augments her senses as well as protecting her. An energy or flame cannon on her right arm makes her a fearsome opponent.

Unfortunately for Arashi, she was no match for Green Lantern's frequent enemy, Doctor Polaris. The super-villain plotted to obliterate Japan as the first stage of his latest bid for world domination.

Arashi's weaponry had no effect on the master of magnetism. Doctor Polaris slammed Arashi and her jetcycle into the side of a bus, breaking her right arm. Diverted from his plan to destroy Japan, Polaris intended to kill the superheroine. The battle was horribly one-sided as Arashi's unconscious body was hurled through the air, into the side of the Okonai building.

Her impact was softened somewhat by an unusual obstacle, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. Arashi was saved from a fall to the streets of Tokyo by the ring wielder. He removed her helmet to make sure she was still breathing. Satisfied her condition was stable enough for him to leave her, Green Lantern entered the battle in her place.

Rayner was soon joined by another American super-hero, the Ray. Together, the young heroes were able to defeat Polaris and save Japan from a monstrous tidal wave.

Some time later, Arashi returned to her civilian identity and her job at Okonai, a games manufacturer. Ms. Ohashi had her arm in a cast before she met her afternoon appointment, Kyle Rayner, a freelance artist from the United States. She was impressed by his dedication to his artwork, specifically his hand-delivery of designs for her company. She would have been more impressed had she realized Kyle Rayner was also the ring wielding Green Lantern. Though Rayner recognized her as Arashi, he has not revealed this to her. - Green Lantern Plus
