Template:Tool The Lightning Shooters and Shields were weapons used by Rookie Hero Mark Surge.
History
During a battle in New Stellac City, Von Nebula created a black hole with his Black Hole Orb Staff that sucked up the Heroes' weapons, including the Lightning Shooter and Shield, though Surge eventually got them back.
After the Alpha Team was defeated at Tanker Station 22, and the Heroes were rebuilt, Surge traded in these weapons for an Ice Spear Blaster.
Functionality
High-voltage arcs of pure energy flowed from the apparatus, and they could be aimed with extreme accuracy by talented Heroes. When it was not being fired, the lightning power could be harnessed into a small shield that protected the Hero from energy blasts. The shield lasted only a short time, but was powerful enough to stop even the most devastating energy weapon, though it was useless against solid matter.
Example Usage
In The Trials of Furno, Surge used his Lightning Shooters to fire electricity at XPlode.
Set Information
The Lightning Shooters and Shields were included in the Mark Surge Hero Factory set from 2010, comprising two of the set's 19 pieces.
