Heroes 2: Electric Boogaloo

Another Hero has been found.

Steven Johnson, 13 years old, was struck by 7,200 volts of electricity this week - and survived.

According to Seattle, Washington TV station, KOMO-TV:

It should have killed him. 7,200 volts of electricity zapped an Auburn teenager. Now Steven Johnson is telling his remarkable tale of survival.

Saturday morning, Steven Johnson was with his father Jeff, at his grandparents. A tree had knocked out power, and though crews had restored the electricity, there was still a line dangling from the pole in front.

Steven inadvertently backed into it. "It picked me up and I looked down and I saw a blue outline around my feet," he said.

Jeff rushed his son to the hospital, where they confirmed his miraculous escape. Aside from burn holes in his hip and feet, he's fine. "God spared me." And Steven laughs when he tells us his new nickname: "Sparky"

That's a pretty cut-and-dry origin story. And while "Sparky" is not the most awe-inspiring hero name, it's definitely better than "Steven Johnson."

Sparky's gotta lose those braces though.
