Countdown to THE PYRITE WAR #11: Volta

VOLTA

Powers: Bioelectric discharge and manipulation of elecromagnetic energy.

First Appearance: The Pyrite War

Notes from the Simon Tower Archive: Ah, “Volta.” Electric powers aren’t exactly the most original in the world, but from all accounts, she used them well. Plus, she would have been handy to have around the next time one of the Antagonist’s goons knocks Simon Tower off the power grid.

In 1939 Siegel City only had one superhero, the world’s first. When he discovered his powers, Gabriel Ruston thought he would be the second, but died on his first excursion in costume.

After Gabriel’s death, his brother David is drawn into an investigation. What if Gabriel wasn’t the second? What if there were others? What if something tragic happened to all of them?

In Siegel City, nothing is ever what it seems… even in a Golden Age.

THE PYRITE WAR launches on September 10, 2013. Prepare for battle.
