==Powers and Abilities==
Electrical Absorption: She absorbs electricity at all times from static in the air, electrical appliances, outlets, etc. She cannot control the absorption and thus must wear specifically-designed gauntlets at all times to regulate it.
*Lightning Blasts: She can discharge the energy through lightning blasts from her hands or other parts of her body. The upper limits of this power have yet to be determined, though these attacks remain considerably less powerful when used effectively.
*Superhuman Speed: She has the ability to channel the energy into bursts of superhuman speed. Her top speed has not been officially calculated, but she once ran from upper New York to the mountains of Colorado in one afternoon. Apparently, she can run at several hundred miles per hour and retain that speed for several hours.
Surge was considered a General Threat by the O*N*E at the time of M-Day. Nimrod classified her as a Threat Level: High and, after defeating him, she was red-flagged and allegedly reclassified by the O*N*E.
