American toy company located in Colombia. The character appeared for the first time in 1986 as part of the line-up of their own Super Powers Collection/Super Heroes Collection toy line. They obtained the South American license to Kenner's Super Powers Collection line, released in North America, based on several characters from DC Comics.

With his Aquaman face, Superman body, and unique paint job, cardback, the figure is a very interesting effort. There are at least two variations in the way the lightning bolt is painted on his chest.

Captain Ray's powers are energy-related. According to the 'fact box' on the cardback of the figure, he is able to manage storms, directing lightning by will. He can create and send off bolts of lightning from his hands. He flies and he accumulates solar, electric or nuclear energy. It is also noted that he is mortal and needs a constant supply of energy. Captain Ray's powers are similar to those of several DC Comics characters including Black Lightning, Black Vulcan, Livewire, and The Ray.

The card of the figure mentioned that Captain Ray's enemies included Captain Squad, Tigerwoman, and LX230. None of these characters seem to have ever appeared in any comic, just like Captain Ray, nor were they included in the Colombian line. The line did contain the unique figure 'Hombre de las Nieves' (Abominable Snowman) that served as the captain's nemesis.
