Known Powers:
Electrical Absorption: Am, Noriko is able to absorb electricity up to 300 points. She absorbs electricity at all times: from static in the air, electrical appliances, outlets, etc (often causing lights to flicker, etc). She can't control the absorption, and thus must wear specifically-designed gauntlets at all times to regulate it. Noriko is able to do the following power stunts:
-Discharge: Am Electrical Damage
-Electrical Regeneration: Ex, she can use electricity to regenerate her own body, speeding up the natural process as long as she has a current to feed from
-Hyper-Running: Sh-Z landspeed. She has the ability to channel the energy into bursts of super-speed. Her top speed has not been officially calculated, but she once ran from upper New York to the mountains of Colorado in one afternoon. Apparently, she can run at several hundred miles per hour, and retain that speed for several hours
-Hyper-Speed: Rm, Surge can enhance how fast she moves and think using electricity, using it to stimulate nerves to increase reaction and movement. This allows her to use this stunts Rank in place of Intuition for Initiative or reaction, in place of Agility to Dodge, and instead of Fighting for Evade
-Resistance to Electricity: Am
-Shockwave: In, she can release a concentrical blast of energy, doing Rank Number damage to everyone in the same area as her

Weakness:
-If Noriko doesn't discharge the electricity that builds in her body and mind, causing her mind to race, making her speak very fast and in a jittery, electronic fashion, worsens her control over her discharges, and radically alters the electrical impulses in her nervous system.

Surge's electric blast


History:

Noriko Ashida was born in Tokyo , Japan , where her family still lives. She was close to her brother, Keitaro, but she ran away from home when she was thirteen-years-old, after her powers manifested; she claimed that her father "doesn't believe in mutants." How she came to the United States is unknown, but she was living homeless on the streets of New York when, four years later, she went up to the Xavier Institute gates - only to be turned away by student Starfire for being homeless.

Indra gathered the rest of the group to try and find Nori that night, and they reluctantly went to try and keep her out of trouble. They eventually found her buying drugs, and assuming that was what was causing her to go out of control, Sofia blew the capsules away. In reality, it was the other way around, and without the pills, Surge completely lost control of her powers. Between Wallflower's powers, and the fact that she was mostly discharged by that point, they managed to subdue her and take her back to the X-Mansion. There, Beast designed gauntlets that could regulate her absorption of ambient electricity, and that she could discharge through/into as required to prevent further mental overloads - to her less-than-complete gratitude.

Starting off as a homeless teenager with no control of her powers only through drugs she bought. Surge has become an excellent natural leader of the new generation of X-Men even though she doesn't desire the position of power.

Forward and strong-minded, along with having a determined and independent personality, Nori often goes head to head with either those in power, despite their age, her superiors and especially her peers and teammates disagreeing or taking charge. In many occasions she almost gets herself into trouble. Her outlook comes from rebelling against her traditional (Japanese) upbringing. Surge loves her family but her father is traditional and does not believe in mutants. He believes that she simply ran away from home and brought shame to there family because of it, disowning her over the phone when Noriko called home to tell her parents she was safe.

Surge is also a vocal feminist. Overall, Nori is a very loyal and trustworthy person, though quick to challenge authority and pick a fight if she needs to.
