The immense source of electricity was absorbed by Michael's body, drastically increasing his electrical power and giving his body a very bright glow.Įlectric Blast - Late in the sixth book and noted in the next, Michael was exposed to lightning and explodes, causing him to lose his flesh form and release a sudden flash of lightning throughout the ocean. He can both push and pull metal objects, as well as use his magnetic abilities to deflect bullets.Įlectrical "Form" - Late in the second book, Michael was exposed to one of the Elgen power plant's electric rat grids. Magnetism - Starting somewhat early on in the second book, Michael gained the ability to utilize magnetism due to his electrical power increasing. As Michael's electrical powers increased, his electric spheres became more explosive. Gives the victim agonizing pain and suffering, which is most often compared to suffering a seizure.Įlectric Sphere - Michael demonstrates in book two the ability to create spheres of electricity ranging in size of a golf ball to a watermelon. Pure electrical power flows through the user's hands, and sends a ray of electricity at the opponent. Surge - Was first used to stop Nichelle in the original novel. Usually only lethal if the user is angered or sad, but does have the ability to kill. It sends a powerful electrical shock into the opponent through physical contact. I have a feeling things are about to get a whole lot more interesting.Michael Vey in the Book Trailer for Michael Vey 3: Battle of the Ampere.Ĭontact Shock - This was the first electrical ability Michael ever used, but has since become much stronger. Now we’re preparing to fly to Taiwan to rescue a nine-year-old Chinese girl from the Taiwanese army and a group of Elgen superninjas called the Lung Li. Blew up the Ampere, a billion-dollar superyacht, before the Elgen could take over and enslave the entire island nation of Tuvalu (which, like Meridian, Idaho, you’ve also never heard of).Attacked the Peruvian army and rescued my friends before they could be executed for terrorism.Lived with the Amacarra tribe in the Amazon jungle.Been chased through the jungle by helicopters with flamethrowers.
Made Peru’s list of most wanted criminals.Made friends with a group of kids with electric powers like mine.For those keeping score, in the last year I’ve done the following: Which is what’s led to my new and very interesting life. There’s something about me that has always been very interesting-I’m just not allowed to tell anyone. I know, boring.Īctually, what I just said about Tourette’s being the only interesting thing about me isn’t really true. I suppose the only thing vaguely interesting about me was my Tourette’s syndrome, which isn’t really that interesting because I don’t do any of the fascinating things that some people with Tourette’s do, like shout out swear words in public or make animal noises. I walked to school every day avoided bullies, the principal, most types of math, and organized sports and played video games with my best (and only) friend, Ostin, six out of seven days of the week. I lived with my mother, who worked as a checker at the grocery store, in a tiny apartment with eggshell-white walls and green shag carpet. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of Meridian, Idaho. I was just an average, no-name freshman at Meridian High School in Meridian, Idaho-a small town where the only thing above average is the cow-to-human ratio. In fact, my life was about as exciting as one of Ostin’s clogging recitals. My name is Michael Vey, and I’m definitely living in interesting times. My best friend, Ostin Liss, told me that there is an ancient Chinese curse that says:
