Powers and abilities

As a Mutant, Surge was born with powers where she could generate electricity though initially she struggled in controlling them which resulted in power surges around her. (New Mutants v2 #9) As a result, she could not use any electronics and not even take a shower. (New Mutants v2 #8) She attempted to control her abilities through the use of medication and drugs. (New Mutants v2 #9) It was said that her physiology sped up her addiction to drugs. When fully charged, her brain tended to move too fast for her to be able to control it. To help her, special gauntlets were created to help her regulate the flow of her powers. This allowed her to control when and where she could discharge her electrical abilities. When Noriko was fully charged, she could channel her powers safely into the gauntlets and avoid a mental overload. (New Mutants v2 #10)

Noriko could expend her power which required her to recharge by draining nearby electrical sources. (New Mutants v2 #10)
