LightningBug



Andy Corrigan was an easy convert to Riot Rabbit's 'supervillain' cause.

Having a hatred of superheroes that stems from being the child of a failed alien invader and a human man, Bug is angry that his mother's people stranded her on this, a planet that she and her platoon were unable to conquer, due to superhero meddling, as punishment for their failure.

She, though in love with her human husband and loving their children, is traumatized that she is marooned on such a backward alien planet. Spiralling into depression that she'll never see her beloved extraterrestrial home city of Th'Rallinax on planet Myrmithaaqi again and that the life she made here on Earth is a punishment, she has tried to commit suicide. After all this was explained to LightningBug when he came of age, he dedicates his life and inborn abilities to eventually becoming powerful enough to gather and lead an army of other supers and soldiers to his mother's home planet, Myrmithaaqi, and decimate it's military high command in vengeance for what they did to her, and by proxy, his whole family.

He joined Team Hades as a means of training himself in the use of his superpowers and toughening himself up for the mission he has decided to undertake. Along the way, he has come to feel a true and deep friendship for the other kids in his crew.

Andy's teammate, Moshpit, gave him the name, "LightningBug". He was going to call himself "The Jade Curse", because he thought it sounded 'cool'. Everyone on the team agreed that 'LightningBug' was a better name, particularly in conversation. Andy still, secretly thinks "Jade Curse" is cool.

Moshpit's own mission in life, to someday overthrow the planet in the name of her god, Jognir, meshes with LightningBug's own goals, as, she has promised her friend to eventually become the army he needs to take revenge on the Myrmithaaqi Military High Council.

While the average Myrmithaaqi being has a relatively mild bioelectric ability that is used to power their cybernetic war suits, Lightningbug's half-human pedigree generates a more amplified energy that is more bio-ionic than electric. It powers the Myrmithaaqi warsuit that he wears beneath the spandex outfits that Moshpit made for him, and the warsuit, in turn, serve to regulate the massive energies so that Andy's output is less dangerous.

When not in his guise as Lightningbug, Andy takes care to not use his energy abilities, as they could prove dangerous to him and those around him.

With the use of the warsuit, Lightningbug has the ability to fly by way of insectoid wings generated of small hardlight engines in the suit that use his own ionic energies. The suit focuses the bio-energies into powerful blasts from his hands, and is also able to funnel his energies into a personal forcefield capcable of blocking small arms fire and low-level energy blasts. Lightningbug's physical strength is also augmented by the suit, making him the third strongest member of Team Hades, after Statuesque and Moshpit, respectively.

The red lenses in all of masks and goggles used by the group are from the surplus Myrmithaaqi warsuits that Andy received from his mother, Rina Corrigan. They are polarized lenses that increase the wearer's night vision.
