It's strange to think that both her and Harley Quinn were original creations of their respective shows but while Harley became one the all time super villains, Livewire pretty much faded from mainstream comics despite having a great personality
She just needs a little bit more attention and a makeover to be more relevant. If a show could capitalize on that, she would easily take the scene again.
@@chuckingreaper8654 Like many other characters tbh. The Supergirl TV show was a missed opportunity, they could have updated her by making her an influencer like someone suggested. Instead they basically recycled her episode from the Superman cartoon
I wish they keep his human hairstyle but with the blue colour if she comes back in a new animated series.
Harley also had the benefit of being paired with arguably THE greatest all time super villain, Joker. Seeing how seamlessly she played off him AND Batman, you could see why she stayed. Livewire does have a solid personality, but she feels like a one-off villain. I'm sure someone could do something really interesting with her one day though.
They need to do more with her. Because Superman didn’t have female villains. Till this show
I love how they revamped her to be a social media influenced, which fits more with her personality: self-obsessed, vain, and attention seeking.
A real Buzz kill
@@yaboigamerdouji7573 😂
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.
A Shock Jock? Eh? EH?
@@KidRunnerH: Thank God someone understands.
Ah classic birth of a villain. They didn't listen to reason, got punished for it, blamed someone for their situation and became a power junkie villian
Wow, i'm shocked SHOCKED! Well not that shocked.
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
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
@@angelhdzestrmoonhermit More or less what happened to the version of her of DC Super Hero Girls
@@angelhdzestrmoonhermitactually they can do the flow from the series but instead of radio its social media and podcast
Ya know, these DC cartoons are really showing me what influenced my taste in woman. Dunno if that's good or bad
Like Livewire, then that's definitely bad. Girl was toxic.
Good, you've got good taste.
@@EmptyMan000 there’s 2 types of like.
@@grimreaper894 what are the two types?

Livewire: YOU DID THIS TO ME!!!!!
Superman: You have done it to yourself!
ua-cam.com/video/h5mEWVbQ_T8/v-deo.html
"You did this to me!!!"
That's a classic villain line, and it's rearely, if ever, true.
Livewire: "YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!!!!!!!!!"
@@eamonndeane587 Superman: "Don't try it!"
@@Funinightmare Livewire: "I HATE YOOOOOOOOoooooooooou!!!!!!!!!!"
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
Theyd probably make e her the protagonist
@@tas4u93 you're right and it'd be weird to do that
Hehe. "Love" action.
@@Shockjocklesliewillis I know. Still funny.
They tried bringing her to live action in the Supergirl show.
You can tell Livewire is having an absolute blast being an evil supervillain and honestly I can’t blame her
That's right
@@Shockjocklesliewillisbeing a supervillian is my kind of fun.
@@VictorPerez-lx9tf heck yeah
@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.
@@VictorPerez-lx9tf that would be pretty sick, if livewire let you join her
Lori Petty did a great job as the voice of Livewire.
Fun fact
She also appeared in the TV show Gotham.
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
Really? I didn't really notice it when I was younger but she's pretty weak as a voice actress.
@@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.
I like how unique her voice is!
Sounds a bit like a Melon Lord to me 🍈
But that's all the better 😂
She kinda sounds like the singer in the song “JUMP”
Tank Girl
@@giantrobotappreciator6048I didn't know that was her til you said and I looked it up! xD That is pretty awesome!
@@BlackWingedSeraphX yeh, it’s a good movie
"Something wrong, Mr. Kent? Am I _boring_ you?"
"As a matter of fact, you are."
*_SHOTS FIRED_*
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!
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
@@shrunkenguy2453storm
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 like Livewire. Hot design, bombastic personality, lethal powers, and the fact that she doesn’t even have too complicated of a backstory.
8:57. Damn, this really had that adult joke fly over our heads. Goodnight everybody.
Sex jokes fit her irreverent and saucy character.
I mean the whole concept of him protecting himself with rubber was basically inspired by a condom lol
DC animated is such God tier
9:09...This joke way MORE ADULT
I wish Livewire had more episodes. She's my favorite.
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
"What do ya know, the boy scout brought protection"
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
I see what you did
Parasite: That ain't fair.
Superman: I didn't realize there were rules.
"Don't used if plastic seal is broken"
😱😱😱😱
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
I always thought livewire was DC’s answer to electro
Except dc is original
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 They copy each other all the time. Get over yourself.
The looks like the blue boys out brought protection joke is something I didn't get until now lol
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.
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
They actually aren’t alike at all tbh.
Funny considering she and Harley were both made for animation. But yeah, she has far more potential
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.
Lori Petty was the PERFECT voice for this character!!! 💯
Livewire: Go ahead! I can absorb lightning!
Black Lightning: Bet you never had black lightning before.
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.
@@CloudLamberts Black Lightning's powers is not elemental, it is magical.
Exactly. She managed to knock Superman backwards but loses to less powerful types.
@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
@ArrowSlinger different versions obviously
I love everything about her. Such an underrated character.
Extremely underrated! And the current DC has no idea what to do with her.
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
Hey icy were the trix, like livewire,killerfrost,volcana,hawkgirl are always my favorites and babydoll.
Not wonder why
A self absorbed narrsissitic negative Nancy turned super? Honestly I findnher more annoying than compelling.
She’s officially my favorite Superman TAS villainess.
She is my crush when I was a kid and still is 😍😍😍
I am convinced the personell at prisons are never even told who they are guarding. Giving plants to ivy and electronic decices to Livewire
Livewire is hot af
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!"
If she couldn’t do that then I guess a pumped up freak of nature in spandex would.
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.
"He brought protection."
Yep, they knew what they were doing.
3:46 "What's the matter guys? Never seen a girl before?"
Love it!
They're STEM guys so probably yeah
Leslie Willis Is still the best characters in DC I still have the first comic she ever appeared in
Sweet.
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 ua-cam.com/video/REBaVk8_21k/v-deo.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.
@@kingwildcat6192000it’s their opinion also what is wrong with feminists?
@@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.
Another character that deserves a lot more attention
The closest we ever got to Freakazette. Still cracks me up she got mutated by lightning bouncing off Superman’s Kryptonian body.
Superman has so many villains that get overlooked when WB does movies.
Damn it, I know she bad. But that voice turns me wild.
Voice Definitely turns me off
5:53 Thank goodness Dan Turpin didn't die a virgin.
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.
Yeah water is a good conductor well unless it's highly pure and deionized
@@Shockjocklesliewillis doesn't work that way? what water giving electricity weight?
Some get electrocuted
Water isnt that great a conductor unless it's salt water or soapy water
Shes so underrated honestly -
When Freakazoid! Gets canceled before they can introduce Freakazette, I will always have Live Wire. Thank you Lori Petty.
2:40 Someone on tv tropes said her outfit being ionized air is a dirty joke since if it’s air she’s basically fighting naked
@JoseMartinez-gw1ki They take the shape of a leotard but it's not a leotard. It's air, she's fighting while wearing discolored air.
Holy shit Livewire was a real match for Superman - shame her weakness was literal water.
@Jose Martinez she beated up superman easily
@@luccas21190syessss
Reverse pokemon logic
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
@@Shockjocklesliewillis and Green Lantern the Animated Series
Batman beyond but it not be same anymore.
Too bad Kevin Conroy is gone! :-(
@@nicktechnubyte1184 yeah
Well they did continue the continuity in comics. Even did a sort of ending to it too last year.
This series is full of babes,but she's one of my favorites (along with Volcana and Maxima).
@Jose Martinez ikr? They're hot too.
@Jose Martinez wish they get more participation on modern medias (series,movies) since Livewire was usdd la DC SHG.
@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.
More like an annoying self righteous narcissistic pissant.
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.
Yeah it's almost like she's a villain
Almost like that’s the point and she’s a villain
Women, right?
@@TheJavierMartinez88 This woman. She seems less of a villain and more like someone who needs a reality check
@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.
Lori Petty was definitely the best gal to voice Livewire. From what few roles I've seen her in, she really rocks the snarky girl role.
In the future, she’ll get a taste of “Black Lightning “ 😂
I just remembered this character existed a week ago. Honestly best resurfaced memory I’ve had in a minute.
i kinda love her? She doesn't seem all that evil, she just wants money and respect. Plus she's git funny one liners and an infectious personality
She also likes causing destruction and turning off power to hospitals. You fans see what you want to see and THAT is a problem.
@@EmptyMan000 she's not real bro. You sound insane.
She has killed people Fym she’s not all that evil.
She's evil af lmao
I’m down bad. I don’t care she’ll kill me. She’s worth it.
Interesting fact: In the comics for this series she and Superman become allies. She even saves his life.
I've had a crush on this chick for so many years. I just wish she was as popular as Quinn is now.
DC needs way more Livewire
And Volcana too!
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.
@@lvli044 why did have to change and if they changed her completely why use her?
@@MrSophire Well they aren't changing anything. This is a new series.
Wait! So getting struck by lightning gave her super powers instead of, you know, killing her?
I think it hitting Superman and then her next is what did it. Still doesn’t make much sense though.
Tell that to flash
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.
@@anothisflame8266 Knowing what Zeus was like, that wouldn't surprise me.
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.
I feel like kat dennings has the spunk and attitude to play this version of live wire.
I would LOVE to see that.
I need a livewire in my life 😢😊😊😊
her and volcana should be in DC mainstream
She’s basically DC’s answer to Electro
The original Livewire is the best Livewire and you can’t change my mind
Just a trash talking troll, gotta love how unique she is
7:06
That's very rude, Superman. You can't take a big pee on your enemies!
Lol.
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.
I love her so much!! She had so much personality I wish she was used more in the comics
Livewire was ahead of her time. She could've been a UA-camr and force the algorithm in her favor.
I think she’s a livestreamer in some comics.
well... apparently i have a thing for arrogant power hungry ladies with short blue super-sayan style hair.
Livewire voice actress did a great job 🔥
It's crazy how Superman can go as fast as flash, but he moved so slow to catch her
@Jose Martinez you mean flat?
It'd be an awesome match up between her and static shock
Collosal Boy vs Livewire, who wins?
She's never had black lightning before😂
holy crap the animation is good
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...)
She's like the blue guy from that Scooby-Doo movie
"Let's play ball!"
The Phantom Virus?
The fact Clark turned around with his Superman photo and yet no one had a clue.
Static: This calls for a little strategy. I’ll fight electricity with electricity!
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.
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.
3:34 This part always lived rent free in my head in what was already a great episode!
"all he cares about is himself"?! She doesn't even know him!
3:41 The Flash: That's My Line 😤
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
Damn yo, tank girl really killed this role
I can say Dan Turpin love that kiss from livewire
8:11 "IF I SAY NO IT MEANS NO!!"
Based Livewire
Headcanon/alt universe; she and static would be one energetic pair
6:01 lucky bastard.
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
Surpised they don't do more with her. She be a perfect villian for the Podcaster/Influence generation
She explains my taste in women between her and harley quinn 🥱
So you're into Toxic Women. May God and Satan have mercy on your soul.
I wouldn't mind getting a kiss from Livewire, even if I might get a little shocked. She's cute.
Favourite part is the random superhuman strength at 3:51.
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.
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
"It's Too Bad They Don't Make Cartoon Shows Like This Anymore Best Believe."
Kat Dennings would make a good Livewire
Thor: "Darcy, what happened to y-OUUUUUUUUUUYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Livewire: **shocks Thor, ragnarok style**
If I can get kissed by Livewire without being electrocuted, that would be my best fantasy come true
Live wire looks like Frost❤️
Her voice like kat dennings
Max Dillion/Electro: Wow i’m in love with her with lightning powers!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i love her voice
She reminds me of Velma but more aggressive before she became Livewire
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.
She's DREAMY.
I love her theme music.
It's great
