Here's mine. Hopefully this doesn't conflict too much with the abovementioned 'lightning' bruiser.

Heh. Heh.

I hate myself.

Mary is a slender girl of average height and often-beaming smile. Her short brown hair comes down to her neck and is often swept into a bang, and she's usually swaying or pacing, almost never staying still. In her civilian guise she tends to wear sneakers, jeans and a cheap blouse, sometimes throwing a jean jacket on when it gets cold. Her 'Current' costume is cobbled together from a black one-piece bathing suit, combat boots, a pair of stockings and two sleeves she cut off of a black jumpsuit. She covers her eyes with a dark-red rubber mask that doesn't quite match the color scheme she's going for, which she's a bit insecure about.
 
Age: 20
 
Alias: Current
 
Alignment: Villain
 
Identity: Public? Is that the one where people know about her as a villain, but she still has a secret identity?
 
History: Mary was born in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of New York City, the second of three children. Times were hard growing up, but her parents always somehow managed to provide enough to keep lights on and bellies full - at least until her father was arrested for stealing from his job at a luxury watch store when she was seventeen. When she graduated high school, she got a job as a barista in a Manhattan starbucks to help support her family. That was around when her abilities manifested.

The first bolt of lightning she manifested was a total accident and may have blown a hole clean through a chainlink fence. Learning to control her powers was a several-month long process involving lots of fried garbage cans and a few bruises - it was a lot easier to decide what to do with them. She hadn't thought of herself as a thief; not before she stood up from her coffee table one night, sick of the power being shut off and sick of her family's landlord and sick of being poor. That was the first time she blasted a hole in the wall of a jewelry store and carried off an armful of diamond necklaces, and it felt good.

That was a few months ago. She's only been getting bolder since then, taking more and more and hitting bigger and bigger targets. She still works that barista job now as cover, fencing her ill gotten gains (and giving ten percent to charitable causes, of course) and living in her own apartment in Brooklyn.
 
Personality: Mary is bubbly, friendly, and generally totally unsupervillain-like. She's an incorrigible optimist and a terrible flirt, able to justify all her thieving under the blanket of 'stealing from rich people isn't [i]so bad[/i]. She doesn't like hurting people, but she'd be lying if she said that she hadn't found her occasional clash with a metahuman do-gooder thrilling, and she'll incapacitate anyone without hesitation if it proves necessary. Of course, her outer cheer and playfulness is something of a cover for and inner pragmatism; She's not without compassion for others, but her primary concern is always for her and hers. She takes care of herself and the people close to her to the best of her abilities, and she sleeps just fine at night. Finally, she has a keen mind for problem-solving, but tends not to think long term, with many of her plans having clear and distant flaws that she just doesn't think of.
 
Skills: She speaks a bit of Russian, but that's just something she picked up from her neighbors as a kid. Otherwise, she relies on her power for just about everything. Mary's sharp, but a high school education and a job in a coffee shop doesn't teach a person many supervillain-friendly skills. The only real exception is her excellent physical condition, the product of a long jog to work every morning for the past two years.
 
Abilities: Mary can create and manipulate bolts of electricity, mainly using them as projectiles with power ranging from 'stun' to 'melt a hole in a steel wall', though the latter would take some charging. She can also move quickly and 'sort-of' fly using this power, though it tends to involve a lot of lightning bolts spraying in every direction, and is very hard to control, turning her into something of a careening missile of disaster. Weaknesses wise, her powers are quite tiring to use and have very limited defensive applications; she can sort of make a lightning hamster ball, but otherwise she is very much a glass cannon, albeit a high-powered and very fast one.
 
Equipment: Aside from a makeshift costume and a mattress full of stolen money, jewelry, gold bars etc.? Not really.
