Biography

Living in Darkness

“	My whole life I spent in the Glaze, watching you down here in the light. With bodies. Able to touch. To breathe.	”
— JJ to Jennifer[src]

J.J. Stewart

“	Name is J.J. Stewart, Jen's cousin on her mom's side. Big military family. Tired of being an army brat, Pierces offered to let me stay with them in Freeland so I could finish school in the States.	”
— Jennifer's backstory[src]

Doubt on Identity

“	We need to get our powers back. They were the only real tie I had left to my identity. If I can't be Lightning anymore, who am I?	”
— Jennifer's doubts[src]

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Wavelength Manipulation: By altering her "body", JJ was able to will herself closer to Jennifer's wavelength, eventually replicating her DNA and replacing her.

“	If the key to my powers is I'm supposed to be a generator, why shouldn't I be able to jump-start them? You know, like a car.	”
— JJ on how to jump start her powers[src]

• Electrokinesis: With Jennifer's power inherited from her father, JJ's replication of Jennifer's DNA was able to give herself the exact same powers.
  • Electricity Absorption: JJ is able to absorb electrical energy from devices into her body, charging herself. By absorbing energy in the Ionosphere, JJ can also heal her body. However, overloading can lead to her body being unstable, eventually exploding.

  • Electrical Constructs: JJ can form shapes using her electricity-based powers, such as a force-field.
  • Flight: JJ is able to fly in the sky and even enter the Ionosphere.
  • Accelerated Healing Factor: By absorbing energy from the Ionosphere, JJ is able to heal her visible wounds.

Abilities
