Garth, Ayla, and their older brother Mekt were joy riding when their ship lost power and came down on the world of Korbal. They devised a scheme to recharge their ship's energy cells using the electrical energy of Korbal's lightning beasts. They underestimated the beasts' power and were all bathed in bio-electric energy. After their return with new found powers, Mekt disappeared. Garth left home to look for his brother. On his journey he helped two other super powered teenagers foil the assassination of philanthropist R.J. Brande. Brande suggested they form a team - the Legion of Super-Heroes. Garth assumed the name Lightning Boy initially, but switched to Lightning Lad.<br/><br/>However, life began to dull for Lightning Lad as time went by. He found that his future world was far past its prime, and that all the Villians and threats his world faced were not the same as the ones he'd learned about in his history books and museums. He craved for a far better life, an exciting one, one that he would not be able to obtain if he stayed within his own time. He began to deeply study a story in the history books about a diluted timeline, one where the ending was un-finished. A story set a few hundred years ago, where time was distorted and heroes were summoned to from past and future, several iconic superheroes and heroines were members of houses, and an all-out war was threatening to arise. Yet, there was no ending, and all the books simply stopped after stating the history of the events and what was to happen.<br/><br/>Garth had found it, the place he was looking for, the one true time-line with no ending that he already knew, where every major Villian and Hero clashed and allied. It was then that he used his Legionnare ring's time-travelling ability one last time, to shift himself into the timeline stated and landing himself in House of Thunder, where he was greeted by Captain Marvel himself, and donned the name of<strong>Live Wire.</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>OOC Notes:</strong><strong>Powers:</strong>Live Wire has the ability to generate electricity within his own body without harming himself. This electricity he is able to discharge in the form of potent "lightning bolts" (in some undisclosed way his power prevents these bolts from taking the path of least resistance to Earth, such that he is able to target objects with great accuracy). He can also create flashing lettering which can been seen from great distances. He has occasionally displayed a limited control of weather. In more recent versions of the character, Garth is also able to direct his electric powers internally so as to move at superhuman speed, with his top speed being approximately one-third the speed of light. Lightning Lad is immune to the harmful effects of electric currents, not only those currents which he himself generates. He can also reduce the force of his bolts so that they will only stun. He can send his electricity through conductive metals. He has a degree of immunity to electrical charge; in fact, they give him more strength to use his power. In some instances he has a robotic right arm that is powered by his lightning power.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>As a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Live Wire possesses a Legion Flight Ring. The ring gives its wearer the ability to fly, the speed and range of which is determined by the wearer's willpower. It also acts as a long-range communicator (enabling constant vocal contact with other Legionnaires, even across vast distances of space), a signal device, and a navigational compass, all powered by a micro-computer built inside the ring.<br/>[/quote]
