Power: Electrokinesis: The ability to generate, absorb and manipulate static and electrical currents. By using her body as a conductor, Barbara can absorb and direct small bursts of electricity. If she comes into contact with a machine or electronic device she can either sap its energy or overload its systems. She can withstand any electric or static based attack, and could potentially absorb a direct, powerful hit of electricity, such as a bolt of lightning - though her attempts to do so have so far been unsuccessful.
Her body instinctively gathers static from the air and stores it, but if she doesn’t keep some degree of focus on maintaining the charge she has built up she can accidentally release small bursts of the energy. Because the charge can easily grow out of control, she habitually exercises several times a day to exert the energy. Whilst these bursts are more annoying than fatal to most people, they draw unwanted attention to her more reclusive personality. As she is basically big bundle of electricity, she never swims in or travels across large quantities of water as it is too risky for other parties involved. If her power were to ‘burst’ at any moment, it could potentially kill everyone attached to the medium. When she washes, she showers, and does so quickly, despite the knowledge that she is unable to be harmed herself. Due to past fears, the act has become more of a habit than a necessity. Because of these rules, she does not know how to swim, as she has never had the courage or the opportunity to learn.
