Her body conducts electricity with almost no drop-off. She can store it inside her body and emit it from her hands to apply a shock effect to her physical attacks.
When she stores the electricity in her muscles, she can use it to gain increased strength. There is a limit to how much electricity she can store (currently 6000 volts), though this can be improved through strength training.
While unable to produce electricity herself, she can pull it from any electronic device, as well as power cables, outlets and batteries, as long as she can physically touch it.
As a sort of final move, she can use a high amount of power at once to emit a charge so strong that it can travel through the air, giving her a ranged attack. However, she has no way to aim this, making it a very reckless action. She can also slam both of her hands together to create a shock wave that functions as an EMP, shorting out any electrical devices it touches. Both of these moves leave her very low on charge.
Drawbacks:
Overuse of the additional strength takes its toll in the form of muscle cramps.
It takes a degree of concentration to keep the charge inside her body under control. If she didn’t do this, she would shock anyone who touched her and lose charge to any metal objects she touched. This is second nature to her so it doesn’t happen often but she tends to slip up when surprised or under a high amount of stress. (Don’t suddenly touch her shoulder.)
If she uses more than a third of her maximum charge at once, the heat it produces can burn her skin where the charge is released. (She knows this and knows how to avoid it, so it only happens in extreme situations.) These burns heal relatively quickly, but may still incapacitate her for some time.
Costume:
Has a battery pack at each hip that she uses to store excess energy and pull energy from in emergencies.
Includes a notable amount of rubber, especially in her shoulders, torso and boots, to make holding her charge easier under stress. To counter charge escaping through her head and hair, her costume includes a hood. This hood also hides when her hair starts to go spiky due to the constant static charge.
Miscellaneous/Personality:
She’ll subconsciously pick up charge just from touching every day electrical objects. At any calm moment she’ll usually be at about 1/3 charge (currently 2000 volts). This only gives her extra strength when she consciously puts it in her muscles.
Very timid. While not easily scared, she is easily surprised. Tries to avoid physical contact as not to shock anyone by accident.
Most effective in urban environments, with lots of electrical devices for her to pull from. Dislikes nature.
Dislikes using devices with non-rechargeable batteries because her subconscious absorption will kill the batteries too fast, much to her annoyance.
I have to admit, I’ve seen a lot of stuff about taz on here completely out of context and some of its so weird I assume it’s stuff the fandom sort of made up, or like expanded on a much tamer thing that happened in canon…
But I have just discovered ‘hey thug what’s your name I’m about to tentacle your dick’ is a line that is said word for word in canon and not something you guys made up for your niche fanfics.
if that sewer clown makes himself an image of your worst fear before he eats you, i could kick his ass. what’s he gonna do turn into the physical manifestation of being abandoned by your closest friends? gonna turn into an ooky spooky visual representation of catastrophic failure and loss? jokes on you dumbass the only thing im afraid of is myself
not to mention how cathartic it would feel to kick the ass of a someone you really really hate if youre afraid of a human person
