| - Villain Name: Jiggawatt Real Name: Malice Nathaniel Jiggs First Appearance: Belch Dimension Comics #29, 2007 ("Jiggawatt!"). Abilities: A being of "living lightning"; can enter, travel through, or manipulate anything electrical ; can produce high and deadly electrical charges Jiggawatt is a Smoking Cat Productions supervillain. Created by Jonathan M. Sweet, he first appeared in The Belch Dimension Comics (September 2007). Jiggawatt was once Malice Jiggs, a psychopathic mass murder sentenced to die in the electric chair in Lowndes, Georgia. A bizarre and unexplained fluke caused his spirit to be ionized and dispersed into the prison's power grid, where he killed over a dozen more people, including the attorneys and judge who presided over the case, and the members of the jury who sentenced him to death row. He attacked Molina, mistakenly believing her to be responsible for his execution (as she shared the same name with one of the participants in the trial), then nearly killed Josh and Jon. As Jon's weakness is electricity, this makes him especially vulnerable; also, most of Josh's inventions contain metal or are powered by electricity, making conventional weaponry next to useless against Jiggawatt. He is one of only two supervillains to appear in both comic and novel formats, the other being Rasputin. Both villains were mentioned in "Beautiful Dreamer", a short story written by Belch Dimension artist and creator J.M. Sweet, published in 2002's Almasheol .
