The Black Light Bands are the trademark equipment of the Phantom Lady.
History
The Black Light objects have been altered into different useful tools over the years. The original Phantom Lady, Sandra "Sandy" Knight used the Black Ray Gun and Black Ray Goggles. Her replacement on New Earth was Sandra Knight who employed the Black Light Ray as well as the goggles. After she retired her replacement Delilah "Dee" Tyler's whole costume used Black Light technology including a hologram projector, personal invisibility cloak, goggles and a small laser. When Dee was killed, Stormy Knight took over as Phantom Lady. Stormy used the highly technological Black Light Bands, an improved version of the original ray. Stormy's replacement on Prime Earth; Jennifer Knight, returns to using her outfit/suit to harness black light allowing her finer control than simple wrist bands or ray boxes. On Earth 10 the rebel freedom fighter and daughter of Nazi enthusiast Sophia Becker also makes use of the more streamlined Black Light Bands in her fight against the ruling Adolf line.
