His lights are different from others seen in previous films.
Adam Driver, the actor who played Kylo Ren, chose the role instead of Lex Luthor in the 2016 movie Superman vs Batman.
The actor didn't like the dark and creepy mask he had to wear for Kylo Ren's role.

The character Kylo Ren is a fan of Darth Vader, the original masked villain.
As can be seen in the movie, this bad guy is not working entirely alone.
He served as the Jedi apprentice before becoming the Master of the Knights of Ren and later assumed the position of Commander of the First Order.
His biological father is Han Solo and his mother is Leia Organa.
Due to Han and Leia's relationship, this would make Luke Skywalker one of Kylo's uncles.

This character is expected to appear in the 2017 movie Star Wars, which will be the eighth movie.
Supreme Leader Snoke is the boss of Kylo Ren.
Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan said in an interview that Kylo Ren is a much more complicated character than the other bad guys he has created.
When a trailer for the movie was released in April 2014, Kylo Ren's character could be seen but no one knew what his name was.
Despite much speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Adam Driver will play the character during a photo shoot for Vanity Fair in the summer of 2015.
Since the movie was released, Kylo Ren has become a popular figure in computer games and Lego sets.
Most critics commented positively on Kylo Ren's character, some compared him to Darth Vader but were quick to add that his character was a new villain in his own right.
