## Biography

### Early Life

Leslie Willis was born in Metropolis on September 13, 1995 to a 16 year old Cat Grant and an unknown father. Due to her age and her ambitions of pursuing a career in journalism, Cat opted to put Leslie in foster care, where she remained for the majority of her early life.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Meta-Human** **Physiology:** After Superman attempted to save her from being struck by lightning, the electricity passed through him, merging with his Kryptonian DNA which in turn caused Leslie's metagene to be activated, granting her access to her newfound powers.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Leslie has the ability to manipulate, control and siphon electricity with her bare hands. She is able to not only control the movement of electrical energy but can also control the power of a certain blast. She can also manipulate electricity into forming solid constructs such as blades or whips. She can also transform her body into pure electricity and travel through any electrical circuit she pleases.
		- **Electricity Mimicry:** Leslie is able to transform her body into pure electrical energy, allowing her to possess and even travel through anything that possesses an electrical circuit. Whilst in her electrical state, Leslie is able to have full control over objects she possesses.
		- **Energy Absorption:** In order to keep her powers fully charged, Leslie must periodically absorb copious amounts of electrical energy from an available power source. This not only helps with her electrical abilities but also her general strength and energy. Various sources can recharge Leslie's powers including a Kryptonian's laser vision as seen when Superman accidentally recharged her.
