About
Gwen Raiden is a mutant with the ability to funnel electricity. Born with these abilities, Gwen has little control over her abilities as a child, and in 1985, is taken to a boarding school. She accidentally kills one of her new classmates when a toy car he offers to share conducts her electrical charge into him.In 2002, the 25-year-old Gwen is using her powers to facilitate her career as a successful, wealthy, professional thief.
During my last appearance, I asked Gunn to help me with a mission under the pretense of helping a kidnapped girl; in fact, I was trying to steal an experimental device which will allow me to touch others without killing them. The device is installed and seems to be functional.
I have the ability to generate and manipulate electricity. This power can be used in several ways, from creating powerful and damaging electric blasts to manipulating and controlling electronic devices. The latter proves especially useful in her role as a high-tech, professional thief, a career at which she seems especially skilled and adept, making herself quite wealthy in the process. She can also use the electricity that she generates internally to augment her physical performance, allowing her to hold her own against Angel in hand-to-hand combat. Although her powers initially came with dangerous, uncontrollable elements, the inability to touch others and the tendency to attract lightning, these drawbacks appear to have been rectified after use of the device she appropriated in her final appearance.
Gwen currently provides humans and good demons sanctuary with the help of Nina Ash and Connor after Los Angeles was sent to hell by the Senior Partners. She joins Angel in his battle for control of all of Los Angeles. It also appears as though Gwen and Connor are romantically involved. She is currently a full-time member of Angel Investigations.
