The Blast devastated several city blocks around me, vaporizing thousands of people and concentrating their bio-electric energy in me. The result of this was a city-wide blackout and the deaths of thousands. The Blast weakened me as well, causing severe burns and injuries to my left arm and leg, but keeping me alive. Empire City was put under quarantine, and without outside help, chaos quickly descended upon the city as gangs quickly grew in number and power. I awakened after about four days and gradually learned to control my electrical powers. Approximately two weeks after the quarantine was put in effect, my powers had developed to the point where he could fire powerful electrical blasts and generate potent shock waves.

I am a powerful electro-kinetic Conduit that can draw and control huge amounts of electricity throughout my body and store it there. This has several benefits: besides electrical manipulation, the electricity running throughout my body greatly accelerates my body's natural ability to repair damage by stimulating the muscle tissue and his immune system; essentially an accelerated healing factor, making me impervious to most diseases except for the most powerful ones, such as mind control, and the extremely toxic gases that Kessler's air balloons had released. My healing capability can be temporarily boosted when I absorb electricity. With electricity coursing through my body, this also allows for my muscles to absorb huge amounts of physical trauma to a far greater degree than normal humans, granting the ability to survive falls from extreme heights with no harm to my body. I also have enhanced physical strength, agility, durability, and reflexes.

When I realized the amount of fun involved, I decided to used my powers for evil. My electric bolts are colored blood red, and later become black with a red outline as I became more powerful. I have no empathy for the inhabitants of Empire City, and thus, my abilities are much less focused and more destructive. Unfortunately for any innocent bystanders, this also causes a huge amount of collateral damage on the side and civilians are often killed by the stray grenade lob. I also began to change in appearance, indicating that my powers are "corrupting me": My skin turned pale, and black vein-like markings that resemble electric currents grew larger on the neck and back of my head. This is possibly a result of the immense amounts of power surging through me, and thus, my altered appearance may be a result of the energy disrupting several body functions. My ego is also altered: my thoughts turned towards both getting more power and punishing those who wronged me. I have become a tyrant and have destroyed Empire City beyond repair. The crime is steadily rising and I believe that control belongs to the strongest, and no one is stronger than I.
