“	"Solarman leaps in with gusto and frees the imprisoned damsel like a total hero." Yep, that's me!	”
—Serge reading his lines, "Xhypno"

Serge Lightman (real name unknown) is a recurring character of Ghostforce. He is a famous actor who is playing the main role of Solar-Man, an in-universe fictional superhero from Solar-Man: The Movie.

Appearance

Serge is a muscular man with blond hair and greenish-blue eyes.

His Solar-Man costume consists of a two-tone blue and yellow latex suit, a yellow and black belt, golden goggles, a blue mask, yellow boots, yellow gloves, and a yellow cape. On his chest is an eight-pointed star emblem.

Personality

Serge is handsome, charming, and proud. He has a passion for acting and is aware of his dedicated fanbase because of his role as Solar-Man, often interacting or flirting with his fans as the fictional superhero.

Ironically, despite Solar-Man being described to be "the most courageous and powerful hero to have ever walked the earth or flew the cosmos", Serge is the exact opposite of his character. He can get easily frightened whenever there's a ghost attack, often screaming every time he sees one before trying to run and hide from it.

While Serge likes being an actor, he tends to forget his lines and would often try to correct himself during filming. In "Krik-Krok", he almost said Solar-Man's catchphrase wrong before the titular ghost attacked Times Square but managed to run away before the directors realize his mistake. Because of both his cowardness and forgetfulness, Serge would often suffer from self-doubt about his skills and talents. After he failed to remember a line after nearly two hundred takes in "Mascarade", he began questioning if acting was something he wanted to do in life and believed himself to be a "lousy actor" even when he was under the influence by one of the Mascarade triplets. Eventually, he managed to get his line right after the Ghostforce captured the ghost triplets, restoring his self-confidence to continue acting.

Relationships

Jay Baker and Melissa Baker

Serge works for Jay and Melissa during the filming of Solar-Man: The Movie.

Andy Baker

Serge doesn't know Andy very well but he seems to recognize him as the son of the film directors he's currently working with. The only time he interacted with Andy directly was in "Trashotic" when he politely asked him to move aside from his makeup table so he could prepare himself for the shoot.

Stacy

In "Xhypno", Serge met one of his fans Stacy when he was at Central Park to film a scene. When an actress walked out on the shoot and Stacy auditioned to be her replacement, Serge applauded for her acting skills despite her ear-splitting scream.
