Superman Comics: The Man of Steel Dub
RodVA Productions for Livewire / Leslie Willis
Leslie Willis was originally a popular and controversial Metropolis radio shock jock who took cynical joy in attacking Superman during her broadcasts, claiming that Superman was only saving people in the name of grandstanding and showing off. Her career as a shock jock was cut short when the owner of the station, Miguel, decided to turn the station into a country station. She was born with the gift of controlling electricity. Enraged at the loss of her job, she went to the top of the station where she was struck by lightning. However, she absorbed a large amount of energy from the lightning bolt, changing her appearance to chalk-white skin with blue hair. With that change, she decided that she would now take her revenge out on Superman under the new name, Livewire.
Hello, Metropolis! The tower of power is back, coming at you at about, oh, a gazillion megahertz. Now, you may have noticed that I restored some power to the city. I've done this so that you, my adoring and helpless public, can gaze upon Moi, your lovely queen of all media. Actually, I pretty much am the media now, seeing as how I've taken complete control. So don't touch that dial, Metropolis. Because if you ever want your phone back, your lights, your computers, your talk shows, your home shopping channels, and your stupid little lives, then you're gonna have to deal with me.
I always had a thing for electricity. Call it a mutual crush-on. I like it. It likes me. We're stinkbuddies, you know?
Go ahead zap me! Absorbing lightning is totally my thing.
