He's manipulated energy Supes, turning him into a radio transmission and firing him halfway out of the solar system. He's manipulated Superboy's heat vision and magical lightning as well. I don't see Darkforce being a problem.
I know, I posted scans of the latter. That premise would imply him capable of manipulating any form of energy, regardless of the source, intrinsic properties or lack of knowledge of the aforementioned source and/or properties. Somewhat above Iron Man level energy projection... .
How exactly does that put him over Iron Man in energy projection? He can't manipulate more than someone has access to, therefore the only reason he would be over Iron Man in firepower is if the person whose energy he was manipulating was over the level as well. Versatility does not equal raw power.

He just seems a bit deus ex machina when it comes to facing energy attacks. "Dr Light absorbs it." is really all that's necessary to win a lot of these fights. Anyone in the tourney who uses energy attacks or is powered by an energy source is useless against him if working under the notion that he can indeed manipulate any kind of energy. Anyone who only uses physical attacks is equally screwed against him. He could probably beat K Von Doom's team alone.
Yes, well, considering some of the picks on other's teams, I'm not exactly feeling any pangs of guilt about picking a versatile character for my own. And he's not impossible to beat, as I've mentioned before.
Dr. Light is a serial rapist. How is he going to cope with his perversion and psychosis when facing off against a well-endowed female combatant in skin tight latex and fishnet? (And no, this is not a joke).
Identity Crisis'
The controversial 2004 miniseries Identity Crisis revealed that Doctor Light had, at some point in the past, brutally raped Sue Dibny, the wife of the superhero Elongated Man (subsequently, later issues in the DCU have revealed that he was a serial rapist, and Light has stated that Dibny was not his first victim). After taking a vote, the League resolved to alter his mind through the use of Zatanna's magic so that Light would no longer pose a threat to their loved ones. In the process, they accidentally gave him a partial lobotomy (thus explaining how he fell from being a plausible foe of the Justice League to a punching bag for the Teen Titans). He later recovered his memories and intellect, and vowed revenge against the Justice League. Fear of such lobotomies was a motivating factor behind the The Society, a large villainous organization headed by Lex Luthor. Dr. Light himself was one of the first recruits.
