Grammar note: the possessive form of "Light Sparks" is "Light Sparks's," since his name is a singular noun.

That’s debatable: a trailing apostrophe is almost universally used on some subset of names ending in “s” (Moses’, Jesus’, Socrates’, etc.), and some style manuals extend this rule to all such names.

The question can be sidestepped by changing the name to "Light Spark" so that the possessive form is unambiguous.
