Usually the social media theme comes across as cringy but it is done well in this. She is also a proper threat. This show and the Batman one did well with the characters. Looking at these and the latest live action DCEU, one wonders where it all went wrong.
if the character was in a todays cartoon, i feel like they would defeat her by people calling her out on social media, like she'd go on and on about how it's supes fault but everyone would be like '' bestie that's a you problem '' and then she'd like quit social media, until she get a new plan or something, idk i think id be funny if they did that lol

She'd be perfect for a love action Superman project because she translates so well to the modern day, she talks and acts like a modern person already and she'd be even more intimidating now than ever! She'd look great in love action and make for an amazing plot line! Love livewire
@lesliewillis oh yes indeed my dear if I was in Superman the animated series I'll become the super villain and I'll call myself electric chaos and I'll team up with livewire. To cause some real chaos against Superman.
@@yowatchie I've never thought she was a great actress anyway. I just like her charisma. Shes like a female jason lee or keanu. Ironic that she was in my favorite keanu movie.
Livewire's origin in the comics was very different in the comics and after she got her powers from a thunderbolt after she tried to destroy the radio tower, she went after the ones who fired her at the radio studio who fired her for bad mouthing Superman!
TAS is the og origin of live wire though. But I do actually like that the radio station kept her until her villainy. It’s just too true that someone will try to make big bucks off of hating Superman
Comicbook Livewire was a latent metahuman whose powers activated when she was struck by regular lightning. In this one, the lightning passed through Superman before hitting her. By passing through a super-powered Kryptonian, something changed with the lightning and it gave her powers instead of leaving her with electrical burns.
@@drixg555 So there was this weird idea that was used before that lightning passing through Superman would transfer superman type powers. This is in a sense a more reasonable take on that idea.
I always got a Harley Quinn vibe from her, and she had so much potential to be one of Superman’s memorable and interesting “villain”. Though for some reason I always thought she could so easily be a someone like Black Cat or Catwoman for Superman. I have to go back to see the series. It was one of the last cartoons I remember that was actually good and fun to see.
Livewire has WAY more range. Harley is just a clown that Batman deals with. That's all she is. Livewire is like Ultron with social media charisma. She's more of a threat to Superman than Harley is to Batman.
It’s funny how Superman came to fight her with electricity proof gloves and other tools of a similar type, Spider-Man did the same thing the first time he fought Electro
That line was cringe. She is an electricity incarnate but looses to a guy with differently coloured electricity given by his belt or something... What a joke.
@ShadowMoon i thought it was a metagene. Well originally tech, then him absorbing the tech's powers due to a latent metagene, then just having an electricity metagene. So same source as Livewire's powers essentially. I don't recall the Young Justice version stating he was different or magical
I cant talk about the comics but from the TV shows I gotta disagree. Is is honestly everything wrong with Feminist granted different era this was created but still proves my point when comparing Lois to her
@@Shockjocklesliewillis first she has been a long run feminist icon for writers in the superverse or so says ruclips.net/video/REBaVk8_21k/видео.html. From there she's just a crude person that demands attention so she hates superman for a petty reason. Just that she tends to use the feminist movement for herself.
@@Mimix-o Originally nothing now in days... Live wire has always been a toxic representation of feminism. She hates on Superman as she thinks his life is easy cause he is a man and has super powers. Yet the second she gets powers instead of helping people she terrorizes them. From there you do realize that there are two key forms too feminism. The original form is woman that want equal rights (but not equal risk such as being draft or part of the fire brigade) And than there is the matriarchy side which wants only women in power. This is what we have ended up with and where we see the demands that there is sexism in the work place yet that's only for positions of power. You see no one advocating for women to be bricklayers or garbage collectors or insterminators or any of the dirty jobs across the world. Feminism has turned from equal voting into hating men and just demanding that women be put in positions of power.
Leslie Willis' last normal words before her life is changed forever: "See, Superman. I'm the ringmaster of this circus. I teII these cIowns what to do. Not the papers and not some pumped up freak of nature in a cape!"
Realistically, Livewire is what I think J. Jonah Jameson would turn out to be when he gets powers to take on Spider-Man himself. Or atleast a version of him because I believe there are versions of him that does turn out to like Spider-Man at some point.
Actually there's a universe where JJJ becomes spider man and he learns that he must be accountable for everything along with holding others accountable for their actions as well
i always found it weird that water nullifies electric super people when in reality water only hurts electronics if anything it would make electricity by itself more powerful
@@Shockjocklesliewillis i always thought of it as spreading the electricity around and stopping it from being reabsorbed by being weighed down by water. thus, depowering the villain rather than a short socket em.
I wish DC and Warner Bros bring back the DCAU with new seasons of Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited and new DCAU projects like Green Lantern get his own series and Wonder Woman
I swear this chick is a hypocrite. She talks a big game, but she never listens to anyone but herself. Even as Livewire she can’t see that it was her fault. Now she’s a pure electric energy being who can do whatever she wants.
@Ya Boi GamerDouji If you reed about dictators and evil businessmen. They have a habit of surrounding themselves with sycophants and yes men. Unchecked ego is a one way ticket to villainy inside and outside of fiction.
Have to come back here because I HATE what they did to her in that awful new animated series (and Silver Banshee too but this is about Livewire). They made her incredibly generic and boring, and she blends in with all the other generic and boring-designed villains. The thing I love about OG Livewire is that she was a regular girl, just some sleazy narcissistic radio show host. And the moment she got powers she went on a power trip as a selfish, joyriding bitch. And I ADORED that, it made her so fun as a villain.
Livewire is a core member of the committee of why I like Tomboys. Granted, growing up, don't like the bad traits a lot of them have, just their aesthetic.
@Jose Martinez i kinda like her there,i also like they made her an influencer since it fits so good with her. But i hope they release more of her in future proyects.
Definitely one of my favorite DC villains. She seems reliable and determined enough to make a great partner in putting the media and people in power in their place.
This show was my childhood, and Livewire definitely stood out in all the right ways. Also is it me, or was Ember McLain (Danny phantom) inspired by Livewire? A crossover of the two would be...quite shocking (I'll get me coat...)
A lot of super power origins don't make sense but we can just chalk it up to stuff like the Old Gods and shit sprinkling their genetics across humanity. She might have had some Zeus in her ancestry for example.
Theory is she always had a meta gene related to energy. But it took being electrocuted to activate it. Explains her physical appearance change since the gene also effected her skin and hair.
Hey, it would be funny if Christopher Daniel Barnes voiced Electro and Lori Petty as Livewire teamed up together to take down Spider-Man and Superman. Pretty good actors to the game! Lol
They put her in the new show but they did her dirty. Instead of making her an influencer, the turn her to a no nonsense stoic arms dealer. They made look like a dude barely any feminine features.
@@MrSophire I love the new take on her. She's more masc presenting but quite obviously fem. Like the original design was cool for its time but we can be real lol. That HAD to change.
I had forgotten that before she gained powers, Livewire was an arrogant sociopathic misandrist shock jock in love with the sound of her own voice. So really, not much changed 😏
I'm always like that too but I would never try to one up with anyone we will always work as a team. I'm more likely the jokester and the high ranking soldier of the team. We'll get the job done!
It’s easy to use your power as a weapon than to learn how to control it to protect and save others effectively with little damage to the area. Villains don’t care and just go full instinct with it so it’s just natural.
Man, Livewire was really cool in this series and her looks gotten even hotter when she appeared in the DC superhero girls 2019..! I hope she also come back along in the Halrey quinn series..!
She’s like the DC version of Electro, but they should limit her powers when they first emerged It’s not like she’s an electrical tech expert or someone adept in science, turning herself in pure energy like that when her powers first manifested just isn’t logical…. It should really come with training
Why though? Turning into energy isn't something she had to figure out. At best it's like walking. We all learn how to do it with a little practice. At best she should have had problems maintaining the form for long periods of time, but she didn't need to be a genius to figure out how her own powers work. Plus it's a cartoon with a limited screen time and she wasn't the main character.
Livewire's negative view of Kal El was completely unwarranted. I mean, Superman is saves people everyday. And she could've avoided her accident completely if she had simply listened to Superman and the cops. And worst of all, Superman tried his best to save her life, and yet she has the nerve to blame him? That's all on her really.
Her problems with super as follows: "He's never around when you need him!" 1. Literally comes to people's rescue at the speed of sound and stops crises all the time including going up into the atmosphere to hear cries of help or problems to go help people and has worked with not only the U.S. government to do relief projects but has worked with the UN. "He only cares about himself!" 2. Literally puts himself in danger whether or not he is in actual danger or not to help others on thousands of separate occasions across the world and the universe and alternate realities. He tries to rehabilitate villains which has worked in the past. He constantly tried to impart good will and doing the right thing ideologies to others and set an example. He always thinks of others before himself sometimes to his detriment. "Life is just too easy for him!" 3. Oh boy you walked into this like well polished glass. For one thing your struggles and Superman's struggles are very different so don't compare yourself to him or you will generally lose. Superman wouldn't dismiss the struggles you had to go through in life as insignificant and I agree that there are cases where a woman gets the raw deal but you lose all credibility when you're saying things from the comfort of your talk show booth without a care in the world criticizing someone for all the problems they're not guilty of. Superman has to constantly deal with not only physical challenges but mental ones as well. Because of his enhanced hearing and perception he has to constantly block out all noise and other sensory sensations that could overload his sensory system such as the brightness of the world the sounds that he hears the things that he can taste he has to constantly meet her all of his senses to keep himself in check. he has to constantly take care to not go to overboard when in a populated place as he could cause more damage than the people that he's fighting sometimes. Not to mention he always tries to uphold his moral code even in the face of truly monstrous individuals similar to how Batman also has to keep his composure and to hold true to his moral code. He doesn't let petty things get to him cuz he's above that and he's fought far worse so he's not going to let small things get to him whereas small things such as someone insulting you right to your face could get to other people. He has to try to set and be an example to others. He has other threats not only on earth but also in space that are gunning for his life. And not only that he has to help run and maintain things like the Justice League later when that gets established. So a lot of the workplace scrutiny that you have suffered I'm not going to try to denounce nor ignore but if you're going to take the time to compare yourself to Superman then you better be prepared for the things Superman has had to leap in hurdle over and see that wow a lot of the s*** I have to deal with isn't really anything in comparison which is why you shouldn't make the comparison.
I love how they revamped her to be a social media influenced, which fits more with her personality: self-obsessed, vain, and attention seeking.

11:15 I always wondered how Livewire would fit in with Harley and Pam, but she's too abrasive! Always trying to be the top dog in the group!
That's how it is
@@Shockjocklesliewillis I'll give her credit though, she's got some funny, irreverent one-liners! _"Don't use if seal is broken!"_ 🤣
@@edwardgaines6561 hahaha yesss, "the man of steel should be a good conductor"
I'm always like that too but I would never try to one up with anyone we will always work as a team. I'm more likely the jokester and the high ranking soldier of the team. We'll get the job done!
@@quintondent5647 Good for you, that means you're not like Livewire who is the opposite.
Superman can fly into the Sun and mot be affected. Livewire s THAT powerful .She's tossing superman around the room like a doll
Yessss
It's crazy how Superman can go as fast as flash, but he moved so slow to catch her
@Jose Martinez you mean flat?
her and volcana should be in DC mainstream
Surpised they don't do more with her. She be a perfect villian for the Podcaster/Influence generation
The fact Clark turned around with his Superman photo and yet no one had a clue.
For anyone who reads IDW, this is what Surge sounds like to me.
I didn't even THINK of that!! That's SUCH a good fit for her!
I can completely agree, but surge had it real rough, Live wire is someone who needs a reality check.
I need a livewire in my life 😢😊😊😊
Headcanon/alt universe; she and static would be one energetic pair
Why do the villains seem to get control of their new found powers faster than the superheroes?
It’s easy to use your power as a weapon than to learn how to control it to protect and save others effectively with little damage to the area. Villains don’t care and just go full instinct with it so it’s just natural.
holy crap the animation is good
She’s basically DC’s answer to Electro
Static: This calls for a little strategy. I’ll fight electricity with electricity!
Man, Livewire was really cool in this series and her looks gotten even hotter when she appeared in the DC superhero girls 2019..! I hope she also come back along in the Halrey quinn series..!
Well she already did, we just have to hope they use it well or don't underestimate it
@@Shockjocklesliewillis Yep, plus not only she's a strong villain of Superman, but she's super hot..!
@@danielkim1024 yeah, that too
@@Shockjocklesliewillis I would try not to kiss her, since she can kill me with electricity. But it'll be worth it
@@danielkim1024 yeah
Favourite part is the random superhuman strength at 3:51.
"It's Too Bad They Don't Make Cartoon Shows Like This Anymore Best Believe."
I can say Dan Turpin love that kiss from livewire
She's like the blue guy from that Scooby-Doo movie
"Let's play ball!"
The Phantom Virus?
She reminds me of Velma but more aggressive before she became Livewire
If I can get kissed by Livewire without being electrocuted, that would be my best fantasy come true
Max Dillion/Electro: Wow i’m in love with her with lightning powers!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wouldn't mind getting a kiss from Livewire, even if I might get a little shocked. She's cute.
She’s like the DC version of Electro, but they should limit her powers when they first emerged
It’s not like she’s an electrical tech expert or someone adept in science, turning herself in pure energy like that when her powers first manifested just isn’t logical…. It should really come with training
I guess you're right
Hell, I needed some training before I became extremely powerful
Why though? Turning into energy isn't something she had to figure out. At best it's like walking. We all learn how to do it with a little practice. At best she should have had problems maintaining the form for long periods of time, but she didn't need to be a genius to figure out how her own powers work.
Plus it's a cartoon with a limited screen time and she wasn't the main character.
@@ButterflyScarlet You're not wrong either
Man I need to learn how to turn into energy
I think she had a good imagination really
"all he cares about is himself"?! She doesn't even know him!
Livewire's negative view of Kal El was completely unwarranted. I mean, Superman is saves people everyday.
And she could've avoided her accident completely if she had simply listened to Superman and the cops.
And worst of all, Superman tried his best to save her life, and yet she has the nerve to blame him?
That's all on her really.
There are many real people who think that way, unfortunately. The writers merely wrote Livewire to match the stereotype.
Damn yo, tank girl really killed this role
6:01 lucky bastard.
Her problems with super as follows:
"He's never around when you need him!"
1. Literally comes to people's rescue at the speed of sound and stops crises all the time including going up into the atmosphere to hear cries of help or problems to go help people and has worked with not only the U.S. government to do relief projects but has worked with the UN.
"He only cares about himself!"
2. Literally puts himself in danger whether or not he is in actual danger or not to help others on thousands of separate occasions across the world and the universe and alternate realities. He tries to rehabilitate villains which has worked in the past. He constantly tried to impart good will and doing the right thing ideologies to others and set an example. He always thinks of others before himself sometimes to his detriment.
"Life is just too easy for him!"
3. Oh boy you walked into this like well polished glass. For one thing your struggles and Superman's struggles are very different so don't compare yourself to him or you will generally lose. Superman wouldn't dismiss the struggles you had to go through in life as insignificant and I agree that there are cases where a woman gets the raw deal but you lose all credibility when you're saying things from the comfort of your talk show booth without a care in the world criticizing someone for all the problems they're not guilty of. Superman has to constantly deal with not only physical challenges but mental ones as well. Because of his enhanced hearing and perception he has to constantly block out all noise and other sensory sensations that could overload his sensory system such as the brightness of the world the sounds that he hears the things that he can taste he has to constantly meet her all of his senses to keep himself in check. he has to constantly take care to not go to overboard when in a populated place as he could cause more damage than the people that he's fighting sometimes. Not to mention he always tries to uphold his moral code even in the face of truly monstrous individuals similar to how Batman also has to keep his composure and to hold true to his moral code. He doesn't let petty things get to him cuz he's above that and he's fought far worse so he's not going to let small things get to him whereas small things such as someone insulting you right to your face could get to other people. He has to try to set and be an example to others. He has other threats not only on earth but also in space that are gunning for his life. And not only that he has to help run and maintain things like the Justice League later when that gets established. So a lot of the workplace scrutiny that you have suffered I'm not going to try to denounce nor ignore but if you're going to take the time to compare yourself to Superman then you better be prepared for the things Superman has had to leap in hurdle over and see that wow a lot of the s*** I have to deal with isn't really anything in comparison which is why you shouldn't make the comparison.
Alright dude it's just a TV show lol
Its not that deep lol
@@ShimmySchimeon just calling out her shitty logic.
One of my favorite Superman villains.
Damn, I love her.
She is my FAVORITE DC villainess!
Mine too
It seems like she's holding back a bit subconsciously, like at heart she doesn't want to hurt them that badly. She could easily be a lot worse.
6:04 storyboard artists didn't think clearly for that shot. Thought the dude's grey matter hit the walls
The DCAU is so awesome
I love her theme music.
It's great
