Chain Lightning was a Metahuman woman with multiple personality disorder who has the power to absorb and dispel electricity in the form of lightning bolts. As such, she can cause the Marvel Family to revert to their non-powered forms if she attacks them with enough of a charge. Her first encounter with the Marvel family was with Mary Marvel. Mary eventually defeats Chain Lightning and she is taken away by the police.
