Description

Livewire Character Design Secret Weapons September 22, 1992
Pencils: Joe St Pierre (Signed lower right in panel and off)
Inks: Kennith Branch (Signed lower right in panel)

Harada recruited Amanda and other like-minded (in other words, violent) individuals into his Eggbreakers, the squad of enforcers who did Harada's dirty work. She was given the codename Livewire, due to her power to manipulate electromagnetic forces; she especially enjoyed using a length of magnetically animated cable as a weapon.

Livewire was co-created by Bob Layton and Joe St. Pierre. Bob came up with the name Livewire and assigned her the electomagnetic harbinger abilities. Joe did everything else, designed the character, named her Amanda McKee, filled in her personal history where he could. According to Joe, this is the very first drawing of Livewire! Livewire first appeared in Harbinger #14 (1993). She later played a major role in the Secret Weapons (1993) limited series.

Ability to interface with and control electrical machines
Limited energy projection
Advanced knowledge of martial arts technique

The original incarnation of Amanda McKee is a Harbinger training at the Harbinger Foundation with her boyfriend, Edward T. Sedgewick. After abandoning the foundation, the two are forced to live on the run in hiding from Toyo Harada. This causes immense strain on their relationship, causing them to separate but remain close friends.

Geomancer Geoff McHenry eventually recruits Amanda and Edward to join his Secret Warriors. Their time on the team is short lived, as they are deemed to volatile to be among the public, and are surrendered back into the Harbinger Foundation.

Once again under control of the foundation, Amanda undergoes a lobotomy that alters her being, turning her into a devout warrior that joins Toyo Harada and helps him fulfill his dream of a new world order.

The operation also causes Amanda to lose her memory of her relationship with Edward.
