She wakes feeling strange, and curious as to why she has not been burned to a crisp.

Deciding to put her newfound abilities to good use, a few weeks later she publicly proclaims in the newspaper the start of her crime-fighting career as Electro Girl.

Comments: Created by Dennis Malcolm Reader.

Having last been seen in the 1940s, Electro Girl returned to comics as one of the multitude of superheroes gathered in 2000A.D.'s Zenith Phase Three story to fight the interdimensional threat of the Lliogor. Although her character is unconnected to Electroman, she pleads for his life when Voltage intends to kill him after he is possessed by the Lliogor.

Alan Moore later had a version of Electro Girl be a member of the short-lived hero team the Seven Stars in his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series.
