Chain Lightning was an enemy of Mary Marvel.
History
From her childhood, the woman known only as Chain Lightning was interested in sorcery. After years of study, she was able to perform a ritual in which endowed herself with the power to absorb and dispel electricity, in the form of lightning bolts. As such, she can cause Mary Marvel and possibly others Marvel Family members to revert to their non-powered forms if she attacks them with enough of a charge. Her first encounter with the Marvel family was with Mary Marvel, during a party in the mansion of Mary's foster parents, the Bromfields. Mary eventually defeated Chain Lightning and she was taken away by the police.[1]
