Jolt



Receiving her powers from Arnim Zola's cruel experimentation, Helen Takahama joined the original Thunderbolts team as Jolt, unaware of their hidden agenda. She still managed to become a fine hero in her own right, and helped several other members of the Thunderbolts do likewise.

Origin
Helen Takahama had just celebrated her 15th birthday, that very day, only for her life to change drastically in a totally unexpected way. The menace known as Onslaughtand his Sentinelarmy attacked and ravaged New York. Hallie's parents were killed in the invasion, as the invaders ransacked her home and destroyed her neighborhood during Onslaught's attempt to take over the world. Hallie would survive and for a short while became the would-be protector of a small group of children that survived the attack. Unfortunately, both she and her charges were found and abducted by the Rat Packand brought to the geneticist Arnim Zolato use as guinea pigs in his experiments. All of her charges were killed in the experiments, but not Hallie. She endured countless experiments, many of which made her feel like she was dying, as they were extremely painful. The experiments done to her had a very unexpected effect on Hallie. They gave her super powers, granting her super-speed, enhanced healing, and bio-electric discharges. The procedures made her faster and stronger, filling her to bursting with energy.

Power and Abilities
Jolt has superhuman agility and the ability to jump long distances. She can also produce an electric field, due to her enhanced metabolism, that allows her to manipulate energy.

After her resurrection Jolt's powers changed/evolved.

Jolt is now able to assume a new form. She can change to a form of pure bio-electrical energy. In this form she can discharge staggering bio-electric blasts and possesses enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and the ability of flight.

Special Skills: Jolt has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of modern costumed heroes.

Limitation: In her human form, Hallie is partially paralyzed and requires the use of a cane to walk. Because of this she stays in her energy form most of the time.
