Background

However, when he saw his friend Jake Taylor use his powers openly, he confided in him about his own powers, and his hesitation in using them. Jake would then introduce his friend to his cousin Melrose, who would assign Danny to the Junior S.A.I.N.T. Program to train under Graffiti.

Danny Jones makes his debut in this arc.

Powers

 * Electricity Manipulation: Danny has the ability to control electricity. He can zap and charge objects electrically and shoot bolts of lightning from his hands. He also has the ability to transform into living energy. In that form, he can transmit himself through powerlines. Danny can also generate electricity and shock people through basic physical contact.


 * Electricity Absorption: Danny's trademark power is that he can absorb the ambient electricity from around himself in order to fuel his powers. This allows him to blackout a small area before releasing the held energy as focused blasts of electricity. Currently there is no limit which has been established for how much power Danny can safely absorb or how long he can contain it within. He has shown to have some degree of control over said ambient electricity as he is shown to use it for the sole purpose of disrupting electronic devices such as cracking an LCD screen on purpose.


 * Electricity Aura / Empowerment: To distinguish himself from other superhumans with electric-based abilities, Danny has learned to internalize his powers and enhance his physical abilities. He has shown that he can make himself stronger and faster through electricity, as well as coat himself in aura of electricity. Notably, he would direct his electricity to his legs and jump from wall to wall until he appears as a literal bolt of lightning.
 * Enhanced Durability: As a superhuman, Danny's body has the natural ability to sustain numerous blows of external assault, though his inner body can take damage if struck hard enough.

Weaknesses

 * Inexperience: Being young, Danny seems to have difficulty of controlling the extent of his electricity output, as he accidentally electrocuted a Graffiti clone to death.
 * Electricity Negation: Despite his powers and the official claims, Danny is not completely immune to electrical currents. Melrose is able to encase him in a forcefield and have his own powers shock him. However, he remains conscious and recovers quickly.
