Electricity and water

[Garry/Al-Fan]

Do water and electricity mix well? This is one of the random thoughts that crossed my mind as I was reading Mantlo-era ALPHA FLIGHT.

Machine man beat Sasquatch by doing just that

[Le Messor]

They're famous for how they mix.

And Heather's "Vindicator" electromagnetic suit runs on/uses electricity, right?

And Heather's "Vindicator" electromagnetic suit runs on/uses electricity, right?Electromagnetic and geo-thermal energy. Her first suit was just EM, then in VOL 2 it became just geothermal and currently it seems a hybrid between the two. As both suits had different abilities

[Garry/Al-Fan]

Okay. So her first suit (the one that Heather wore when the Mantlo-verse AF teamed up with the AVENGERS) was EM and went underwater with no adverse effects to her or anyone near her?

[Le Messor]

I see your point, but I think that's because of the force field, and maybe heavy insulation.

[Garry/Al-Fan]

Okay. [Won't ask what generated the force field] Not bad for someone who was constantly being characterized during this particular era as "just a housewife."

[Le Messor]

Well, she didn't design / create it either - Madison and Bochs did, off the top of my head. Based off Mac's original ideas.

I can see why you're dubious, though.
