Amy was born with the mutant power of absorbing electricity, but never learned uses for her power until a mysterious benefactor gave her a powersuit that let her channel the electricity she stored. At about this time she began suffering from multiple personality disorder. The four personalities consisted of her "actual" persona of Amy, the embittered Amber, her inner child, and her id. She battled Captain Marvel, Jr., but was defeated and sent to S.T.A.R. Labs for treatment. Due to the nature of her powers, Amy can cause the Marvel Family to revert to their non-powered forms if she attacks them with enough of a charge.
