Quote - Hmm - maybe you could call him Generator or Gen1.  But then most of his powers aren't about the lightening so much.  But perhaps they all stem from electricity in some way.

That's why the word superman suited him because he has a bunch of powers.

 

Static Stan.

 

Electric Blue?

Actually, I came up with the name Green Lightning about 5 years before he even got that power.

He's had a lot of different powers over the years depending on my real life dilemas. He could read your emotions, teleport at will, shrink down to 1 inch, divide himself into as many as 3 people; there are a whole host of things he could do.

I was reading a lot of Justice League when he was created. Green Lantern, Green Arrow... so Green Lightning seemed right. At his creation, he was just like Batman, in a way. Rich S.O.B with expensive toys, hence the sky fortress and all the vehicles.

The super powers gradually made their way in.

So his current set of powers may also include some of his past ones. I will have to choose.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
