Jim Curry was a laborer; he worked hard for his living and spent his evenings drinking at the local bar. Jim was a bit different from his friends in that he had been struck by lightning once on the job and kept working. They called him the "Lightning Bug" and he smiled. Then one day, his life fell apart, his girlfriend, the secretary at his construction company revealed that she had been having an affair with the foreman. The formena, had decided to stop fooling around and get rid of Jim so he was fired that afternoon. To deflect blame, the foreman accused Jim of stealing from the company. He had enough doctored evidence to convince the owners and Jim's co-workers. Jim had hit rock bottom in one hour. Surrounded by angry construction workers, Jim seemed surprisingly calm. He ignored their yelling and simply stared at his girlfriend, Liz. She looked guilty, she knew the truth, but Jim was going no where and she didn't want to be a secretary forever. Seeing that she didn't want him anymore, Jim turned his eye towards the foreman. They hadn't really ever seen eye to eye, and know he knew why. Jim smiled a little, then he said in a quiet voice, "I have something I need to tell you too..." With that bolts of electricity flew from Jims fingertips, and within seconds the construction sight was in shambles. The workers scattered and Jim walked away. It wasn't more than a week later that a costumed man weilding electricity robbed a bank outside of Buffalo, NY. The Charger was born. Jim has adapted to his career as a supercriminal. He isn't really vicious, nor does he hate the world. He does feel he was a good boy and it got him no where and now he'd like to do some taking for a change. He joined the Elite early in his career and has found the arraingment to be very beneficial. Overmind has tutored him in the possibilites of his powers and works with him to develop them. He gets along well with the rest of the team and finds Headcase and Snow Falcon to be both beautiful and charming. "You'll get a <b>Charge</b> out of this, get it?" At this point in the game, Charger is pretty straight foreward, launch bolt of destruction, check to see if target resists, launch again. Charger is above average height, with a thick build. He wears a blue costume with white lightning bolts on the arms and legs. A golden bolt adorns his chest. His mask covers his entire head, but leaves his mouth and chin free.
