Lady Lightning
Officially, Lisa Moore flew Nolan Aircraft's corporate airplanes, but unofficially, quiet, loyal, funny, and caring Lisa was everyone’s best, most trusted friend. She was especially close to fellow jet jockey Ray (Captain Thunder) Gardener, and for a time rivaled Nancy Dumont for his affections. Through it all, the three remained friendly, and shared good times and bad. When Ray finally choose to settle down with Nancy, Lisa accepted it gracefully and focused on getting on with her life.
Moore’s cherished independence came to an end when the supervillain Dr. Stratos abducted and brainwashed her as part of a scheme to emotionally devastate his archenemy Captain Thunder. With his superpowers removed and true identity revealed, Ray Gardener could only watch helplessly as Lisa was seemingly killed by Stratos, disintegrated by the metahuman energies the villain drained from Captain Thunder. Gardener eventually regained his powers and escaped, but genuinely good people like Lisa Moore are emotional foundations for all those close to them. Ray Gardener mourns her loss still today.
In truth, Moore’s body survived, transformed into “living lightning.” Through sheer force of will, she re-integrated herself into a coherent whole, able to switch between solid and energy forms. Stratos’ brainwashing remained, replacing the essence of Lisa Moore with the long-suppressed base, selfish, and amoral aspects of her personality. The resurrected Lisa wanted Ray Gardner more than ever, now that they were true soul mates who “shared the lightning.” As Lady Lightning, she would do whatever it took to have him.
Lady Lightning stalked Captain Thunder for several years, until Blackstone Federal Penitentiary devised a way to successfully contain her energy form. The world changed during the years she remained incarcerated, with Captain Thunder retiring and his son Ray Jr. now carrying on his legacy as Thunderbolt. Lady Lightning’s madness left her frozen in the past, and after escaping Blackstone during the “Time of the Apes” incident, the now middle-aged Moore began stalking Thunderbolt, oblivious to the fact she’s now pursuing a completely different man.
Physical Description
Special abilities
Moore transforms into a coherent electrical field, making her immune to physical harm (though still vulnerable to energy attacks). She can fly along the paths of electrical lines, and transport herself along information networks such as cellular telephone and computer. Contact with her “living lightning” form—by accident or design—inflicts powerful electrical shocks.
Mental characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics
Lady Lightning is always manipulative of others, donning whatever persona helps bring her closer to Thunderbolt. Only when she’s denied him does the depth of her violent psychotic imbalance show.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Moore allies herself with absolutely anyone who can help put the Gardener du jour in her clutches, even Dr. Stratos.
Anyone standing between her and the object of her mad affections suffers her wrath.
