I'm gonna be making a prologue, so you can get to know the characters better! This will be about their backstory and how they got their powers! Feel free to skip this if you wanna get to the action though.
Jose's Prospective
I am Jose Alvador. I was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, to my parents Martina, and Hugo. My story began after a day of classes. I had always been interested in thunderstorms and found them intriguing, and quite exhilarating. I was usually teased for it, which is what happened on that day. Some bullies teased me for my obsession with thunderstorms. There wasn't much I could really do, because they were about double my size. There was a crowd stirring up, so I had to escape if I didn't wanna get beat up in front of everyone. I was especially afraid to be seen by the girls because I didn't want to come off as weak. Once I got a chance, I took it and bolted out the gate. I ran to the only place I figured was safe.
My house? No, they'll know where I live and egg my house...
The park? I won't make it, 5 miles is too far...
The only place I could go was my favorite spot to watch thunderstorms. Cataumbo Lake. I just ran, and ran, and kept running, hopefully, they would give up. Unfortunately for me, they were relentless and chased me the whole mile. I scrambled quickly into the forest. A thunderstorm stirred up, along with some fog. But I didn't stop running. It felt like I was the prey being hunted by the predator. It didn't take long for them to catch up, but I got a quick adrenaline rush and sprinted all the way to the lake. I looked behind me.
Nothing. Good, I'm free.
But I got distracted by the fact I escaped them, because I slipped on a puddle, and fell into the water. As I fell, I saw the dark cloud approaching me, and saw a jolt of light, then went unconscious. When I woke up, the sky was clear, and I looked at the moon. Those bullies were gone for sure, assuming I was dead. I felt a weird sensation in my hands however and extended them up. Suddenly a chain of lighting came out of my hands. While I'm writing this, I still can't quite conclude as to why this happened. The best thing I could think of was that staying in the electrified water for hours on end caused this. Word got out quickly though, and I was presumed dead by all my family and friends. I didn't wanna reveal my powers to the public, so I live by the lake I got my powers from, and I protect others under the Codename Tormenta.
This was when one day I was taking a walk in the woods, and a flyer landed in my face. I picked it up, and read it. Apparently, the notorious Avengers needed more allies. I figured I could show my powers off to others, without sticking out like a sore thumb. So I traveled to the Avengers HQ, where I found about 20 other people, who were seated in a large courtroom. And then Tony Stark, who was thought to be the leader of the Avengers stepped into the auditorium, and that's when my journey as a Superhero started...
