Lightning (Ace)

Golden Age Origin
In 1940, a young explorer named Robert Morgan was exploring an Egyptian pyramid. While exploring he encountered an ancient mystic called The Old Man of the Pyramids. This mystic gave Morgan superpowers.His powers include super-strength, super-speed, flight, the ability to generate electricity and radiate “lightning heat,” and a measure of invulnerability (e.g., he can contain the explosion of a grenade with his bare hands); his powers can be recharged by electricity,but there was a condition that he use his powers to fight evil.So, he returned to the United States, donned a costume, and then changed his name to Lash Lightning (instead of keeping a secret identity).Later, Lash’s friend Isabel Blake gained powers identical to him. This occurred when he accidentally charged her with thousands of volts of electricity. She then donned her own costume and became his partner Lightning Girl. Also, they are able to track each other via their “lightning impulses.”
