Kiran Singh is the teenage daughter of Vijay and Rani Sing, two prominent archaelogists from Delhi, India. Kiran visits London, England with her parents and both meets and befriends Cassie Sandsmark. The two children explore a nearby museum just before it is attacked by Lady Zand. Cassie reveals that she is Wonder Girl just as Kiran creates a golden costume and tells her new friend to call her Solstice. Together, the two fight off Lady Zand’s army of rock creatures but not before the villain herself is able to escape.
While on a dig in Mohenjo-daro, Kiran’s parents mysteriously disappear. Kiran joins with the Teen Titans and rescues her family before helping the team face the Legion of Doom.

The New 52

Kiran is incarcerated in the same NOWHERE facility as Kid Flash. She has been experimented on by the NOWHERE scientists and they have altered her powers. Though she still can control light, she now has a black smokey appearance with light shining through. When Kid Flash is rescued, Solstice goes with him and joins the Teen Titans.
