Eli Stafford

History: Eli Stafford was struck by lightning while in contact with power lines still connected to their spool. The unusually configured magnetic field generated by the wound spool of cable and live, high-tension wiresDONOTBLOCKOURADS body-wide mutagenic change to his nervous system. Eli Stafford found himself transformed into a living electrical capacitor, powered by the micro-fine rhythmic muscle contractions that normally regulate body temperature.
Known Superhuman Powers: Eli Stafford possesses the ability to generate electrostatic energy at a rate of about 1,000 volts per minute and store up to 1,000,000 volts. At 10 feet, his maximum charge is more than enough to kill a normal man. Eli Stafford is able to emit lightning arcs from his fingertips at speeds of up to 1,100 feet per second, achieving a maximum distance of about 100 feet. In addition, he can override electrically powered devices and manipulate them mentally.
Eli Stafford also possesses the chemically-based ability to attract and enslave most adult women to his will. Like many animals (including humans to a small extent). Eli Stafford continually emits pheromones (natural, airborne hormones secreted primarily through-sweat glands which communicate and stimulate behavior) of great potency and volume. Once Eli Stafford‘s pheromone emissions, released into the atmosphere, reach the olfactory centers of a woman, her hormonal balance is altered, causing her to feel extreme physical attraction. Eli Stafford'smutant pheromones are released at a rate of 2,000 parts per million, several thousand times that of a normal human. Consequently, any woman within range (about 250 feet downwind, or in the direct path of the emission) is severely affected. Within seconds of exposure to the Eli Stafford , most women become submissive and open to manipulation, as if hypnotized.
The mutagenically-altered structure of Eli Stafford‘s sex pheromones is practically addictive. Initial contact with Eli Stafford and subsequent reinforcement over a period of a few months is sufficient to keep most women in his power almost permanently. If, however, the woman is removed from his presence after the initial contact, she will go through a mild period of "withdrawal" and be free after a period of a few months.
PARAPHERNALIA: Eli Stafford formerly wore a containment suit that helped him control and focus his powers. Without his containment suit, he tends to turn into a being of pure electricity when he uses his powers.
