Back with another warm up sketch of DC’s latinx and hispanic heroes and antiheroes, this time with Carlotta Rivera, aka, JOLT.

Carlotta was a model from Spain (what was it about the 80′s that gave us so many superheroes who where models, or that worked a sidegig as models -Fire, Ice, Starfire, JOLT, Vixen, Green Lantern Arisia Rrab, Jade-), during the “Invasion!” event, where among many things caused by an alien invasion of Earth, was the “awakening” of the dormant metagene that gave powers to a lot of people. 

Carlotta was one of these people with newfound powers, in her case, the ability to generate force fields and absorb energy, so she became the superhero JOLT and then joined the international superhero team (another one of these in the 80s), The Blasters, which was composed of her; former Justice League mascot Snapper Carr and his alien furry girlfriend, Churljenkins; Looking Glass from England; Dust Devil from Israel and his overprotective mother, Mrs. Levy; Frag from Austria; Crackpot from the US; and a dominator alien named Gunther.

This was another instance of “this is supposed to be DC’s next big thing”, and was a passion project of writer, but then DC was like “you know what, let’s give the Legion of Superheroes another try”, and the Blasters where sent to limbo (except for Snapper Carr) and JOLT faded, never to be seen again.
