solar disc
Plural: solar discs
These days, solar power is all the rage. You've got solar watches, solar calculators, solar cars, and solar houses. But what's a hero to do when they patrol at night where there's rather less sunlight to be had?

Well, if there's one thing every hero has enough of, it's "getting beaten up." So, you just convert getting beaten up into solar power and fzwammo! free energy.

Warning: Do not look directly at the solar disc. Side effects may include blindness, electrocution, shorted circuits, solar flares, and those weird glowy spots you get in your eyes.
