Zeus

"You're gonna burn, Vey!"

- Zeus to Michael while brainwashed by Hatch

Abilities, Powers, and Special Attributes
Zeus can throw bolts of electricity at the opponent, similar to that of Zeus, the God of Lightning in Greek Mythology. Unlike some depictions of the god, Zeus shoots lightning out of his fingertips. He can also arch electricity between his arms. His electricity is strong enough to kill, with effort, and fast enough to hit a bullet in mid air. If he comes in contact with water he will shock himself (similarly to the electric rats).

HISTORY
Zeus (Real name Leonard Frank Smith) was recruited from battle. Hatch guilted him into service by telling him that he'd killed his entire family by electrocuting them in a swimming pool. This was a lie, but young Zeus was so horrified he believed Hatch.

The Prisoner of Cell 25

 * Zeus first appears with Hatch and Nichelle after Michael Vey shocks the GP mugger. Zeus shocks and incapacitates Sharon Vey.  He also drives the van that Taylor Ridley is kidnapped with.  He is then seen as an outsider among Hatches Glows.  After being tricked into attacking Micheal and being defeated Taylor offers to remove his memories of his family allowing Zeus to forgive himself.  He then helps the Electroclan overrun the Pasadena facility, proving his commitment when he shoots a bullet out of the air saving Michael.

Rise of the Elgen

 * After escaping the Pasadena facility Zeus goes to Peru to help save Sharon Vey and, to get revenge on Hatch. He and Jack Vranes fight over Abigail as they go through the jungle. After sneaking into the Peruvian Starxource Plant, and rescuing Tanner and Mrs. Vey the group gets caught in a room full of electric rats. The only way they could escape was if they used the sprinkler system to kill the rats. Michael Vey was unable to, for fear of the water coming down and hurting Zeus. However, Zeus himself shot electricity at the pipes, endangering himself to save the others. Jack courageously leapt to his rescue, saving him and fixing their relationship.

Battle of the Ampere

 * After escaping the Peruvian Starxource Plant (and destroying it) Zeus gets captured by the Peruvian army but escapes after Michael causes a car crash. Zeus takes out some of the Elgen trying to take Taylor but isn’t fast enough to kill the man who shot Wade West.  Once they make it to a safe house, Zeus leaves the Electroclan to take refuge with The Voice, along with Abi, Ian, and Tessa. However, the four feel guilty for leaving their friends to destroy the E.S Ampere, or came to their senses because at the very last moment when the other half of the Electroclan are about to be turned to dust, Zeus and the others appear to help. Thus, the destruction of the ship was made possible with everyone’s lives intact.

Hunt for Jade Dragon

 * After the destruction of the Ampere the Electroclan including Zeus go to Timepiece Ranch Ranch to rest. Zeus gets a special room that has distilled water in the shower allowing him to bathe.  At the ranch Zeus volunteers to go in the mission to save Jade Dragon.  The rain in Taiwan severely limited Zeus’ usefulness so him and Tessa were sent to destroy a smaller Starsource plant.

When he and Tessa returned they witnessed the Electroclan’s escape. Zeus seeing them provided a distraction by shooting at the guards. Later during the rescue attempt for Jade Dragon Zeus went on the boat that grabbed the girl, shocking Quentin along the way.

Storm of Lightning

 * Zeus travels with the Electroclan to Timepiece Ranch to find what happened to their friends.
