Sindy and I speculating on just WHO Electro’s prison lover was that he ‘discovered new things about himself’ with…. Who do you think it was??

Not at the present time in my sapphics au but! Eventually!

Since I’m working with this idea of electro’s powers coming from a progressively expressed mutant gene I like the idea of that power just generally increases over her life. She is the baby of the group at 24! Her powers only really ramped up about five years ago in her adult life.

Otto and Electro start keeping track of this based on the output of electro’s discharges as well as how she feels getting down to an amount of excess charge to the point that she can touch others. It becomes harder for her to get certain nutrients, as many ionic compounds that enter her body are effected by her passive internal EM field. This manifests as symptoms similar to POTS as more of her body progressively becomes a plasma.

I’ve thought about how I’d want to adapt the Ends of The Earth arc which happens approximately ~11ish years ahead of our current time in the au. By this point electro is in their mid 30’s and Can be pure energy! This is a bit unstable though, and makes it a lot more difficult for Max to have a regular life. And sometimes they’re a little moodier for it…
