Profile

Maxwell 'Max' Dillon was a rather unambitious power linesman for Consolidated Edison Electric Company, when one day, he was working on some power lines which were still spooled and was struck by lightning. The unusual magnetic field created by this turned him into a human electrical capacitor, capable of generating and storing massive amounts of energy. This change sparked his ambitious side at last, and now, he seeks riches beyond imagination, under his new name: Electro.

Description:

Maxwell Dillon, better known as Electro, stands a not-so-intimidating 5'11", and looks to weigh around 165 lbs. His blue eyes are rather bright, and his hair, if you can see it, is auburn in color. However, his standard costume covers his head and part of his face. The main color is green, though the 'face' of the costume is bright yellow, and is shaped like a 5-point star, which is made of lightning bolts. The lower half of the star frames his nose, mouth and chin, while the center of the star hides everything but his eyes.

His chest and arms are both somewhat skinny looking, though he has definition to his muscles. The chest section of his costume is still green, but it's interrupted by a V-shaped set of lightning bolts, whose point meets at his waistline. About midway down the forearm, the green of his suit becomes yellow at an angle, and hanging from the yellow rear of the 'glove' is a foot-long lightning bolt decoration.

From his waist to his upper thigh, the costume becomes that gaudy bright yellow before returning to the green. However, continuing down the outer side of each leg is a lightning bolt, which ends when his 'boot' section begins halfway up his calf.

History

History:

Maxwell 'Max' Dillon was born in Endicott, New York, to a shiftless father and an overprotective mother. His father eventually walked out on Max and his mother, who grew even more protective after that. Max was a decently smart kid, and was always interested in electricity. He graduated in the top fourth of his class, and was considering college, but his mother wouldn't allow it, telling him that, if he was interested in electricity, he should become a power linesman for Consolidated Edison, which he did.

By age 29, Max had moved out of his mother's home and gotten married. He was happy at his job, and when he turned down several foreman jobs, opting to stay as a linesman, his wife left him, saying he had no ambition. Some months later, another linesman was in trouble, and Max offered to help him for a small price. As the bitter Max went to work on the lines of a still-spooled wire, he was struck by lightning. The unusual magnetic field triggered a mutagenic full body change, giving him the ability to store and generate electricity. After the incident, he disappeared for some time, mostly doing research on advanced electrical theories and looking for a place to live after losing his apartment and his job. His very last paycheck went towards a tailor with a very... 'select' clientelle. With a newfound ambition to be rich and get revenge on those who wronged him, he left the tailor a new man - ELECTRO!

Personality

Personality:

Electro is a bit of a smart-alec, a bit of a punster, and rather bitter at the world for various injustices done to him. He's also bitter at himself for his previous lack of ambition and inability to stand up for what he wanted. Now, in his new villainous guise, he has ambition and guts to spare. He's smart enough not to be egged on easily, but when his ire is raised, his high intelligence is lost to a degree, and he just rages.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Electrical Empowerment:
Electro can use the electrical energy running through his body to supercharge his muscles, giving him the ability to run faster (25 mph / 40 kph), lift more (limit of 450 lbs / 204 kg) and withstand more punishment. However, such feats leave his body in poor shape, and are used only in emergencies.

Electrical Manuipulation:
Electro can absorb electricity from various other sources. He can also override electrically powered devices and control them mentally.

Electrical Travel:
Electro can travel along any conductive surface (such as power lines), with a top speed of 140 mph / 225 kph.

Electricity Discharge:
Electro can emit electrical bolts from any part of his body (typically his hands) at the rate of 1100 feet per second, with a maximum distance of 100 feet. He can also create electrostatic bridges to disrupt the ability to cling to walls, as well as for travel.

Electricity Generation:
Electro can generate electricity at the rate of about 1000 volts per minute.

Electricity Storage:

Electro can store up to 1 million volts.

Electrical Engineering:

Even though Max never went to college, he was well-qualified to become an electrical engineer, had he put his mind towards it. As it stands, he still has a vast knowledge of various electrical engineering concepts, as well as a masterful understanding of how most electrically-powered things work.

Insulation:
A properly insulated foe can easily withstand most or all of what Electro can dish out.

Shorting Out:

When fully charged, if Electro is exposed to water, it tends to disrupt his ability to control and store electricity.
