Before the Unknown War, The Electrician boasted about building the Western American power gird. After the Unknown War, he adapted to the new socio-political landscape faster than most. He used his electrician skills to become a bounty hunter in the new barren wasteland.

Major Story Arcs

The Glowing Man

The Electrician's white whale bounty was Geiger, the Glowing Man. He was wanted by both the Warlords of Vegas and the remnants of the government on the east coast. He managed to track Geiger, after the hero decided to leave his outpost and roam the countryside looking for a cure to his condition.

He trapped Geiger's pet, Barney, and used him as bait. He hid out in a hot dog processing plant. He electrified the floor, taking out Geiger's travelling companion, Nate, and he filled the factory with boron gas, dampening Geiger's abilities. Taking sadistic pleasure in toying with the glowing man before killing him gave a weak Nate enough time to free Barney. Barney tackled the Electrician into a meat grinder, which Gieger turned on, killing the bounty hunter.
