Arthur Parks was a medical laser technician who felt underappreciated at his job, adapting medical lasers to wrist-mounted laser weaponry powered off batteries on his belt. For several years he operated as a costumed criminal calling himself the Laser, until a confrontation with the since-retired electrical hero called Arc-Weld resulted in accidental intensive damage to his wrists, nearly crippling his hands. Turning to AIM, he had his wrists rebuilt with state of the art bionics, integrating the laser technology into his hands. In addition, his entire body was covered with microscopic photovoltaic receptor diodes to absorb solar energy to power the lasers. With this new power, the Laser returned to action, often doing jobs for the Nefaria family of the Maggia as well as pulling jobs on his own. Recently he was hired by who he assumed to be Count Nefaria's lieutenant and daughter, Madame Masque, as one of her operatives in an attack on the Silvermane family. During this altercation, which involved Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, Iron Fist, and Spider-Woman, the Laser was believed killed when Nefaria's private space station exploded with him on it. This was not the end of Arthur Parks, though. Somehow, the radiation from the station's experimental power core combined with the photovoltaic diodes in his skin to convert him into a being of pure light, a "living hologram" as Iron Man called him. Reappearing on Earth and calling himself the Living Laser, he attacked the heroes and the Maggia alike, discovering that "Madame Masque" was in fact Silvermane's granddaughter, Sable, in disguise. (Despite this, Sable managed to maintain her deception among the Maggia present.) Realizing that Sable was not the one responsible for what he'd become, he fled.
