Livewire, also known as Leslie Willis, is a DC Comics villain primarily associated with Superman. Originally a shock jock radio personality in Metropolis, Leslie Willis gained her electrical superpowers through a lightning strike while mocking Superman during a storm.

The lightning, channeled through the metallic components of her broadcasting equipment, permanently altered her physiology. She transformed into a being of living electricity, granting her the ability to generate, absorb, and manipulate electricity. Her skin often takes on a blue or white hue when charged.

As Livewire, she uses her powers for destructive purposes, often targeting Metropolis and Superman. Her motivations typically stem from a desire for attention and a general disdain for authority. She has been a member of various villainous teams, including the Superman Revenge Squad.

While primarily a Superman antagonist, Livewire has also faced off against other heroes in the DC Universe. Her electrical abilities make her a formidable opponent, capable of delivering devastating energy blasts and disrupting electrical systems.
