Tom Dalton was an electric company lineman who, because of an on-the-job accident, was exposed to 10,000 volts of direct current. His colleague decided to revive Tom with 10000 A.C. voltage, which actually worked and granted Tom super powers. He decided to use these powers to become the costumed crime fighter called Magno. His abilities include repelling and attracting things with his hands and generating electricity through his hands. However, Magno must keep his energy levels up by occasionally recharging his energies through exposing himself to an electrical current.
