Born on January 1, 1900, Sparks died exactly a hundred years later – though she stopped ageing in her early twenties because she was mostly made of electricity, the motive force of the 20th century. Though she was introduced as a new recruit to fairly conventional superhero team Stormwatch, she became a key player in the more ambitious, ambiguous and generally cooler line-up mostly known as The Authority. Various flashbacks have filled in her previous history as a World War II spy, a 1950s space-woman and a 1960s British superheroine, involved in a longstanding conflict with an alternate reality (Sliding Albion) where England rules the world thanks to collaboration with aristocratic aliens.
Trademarks: Union jack t-shirt, bad temper, alcoholism, tough-but-posh British accent and control over electricity.
On Screen: We're thinking Keira Knightley or Rosamund Pike.
Did You Know?: When she died, she was replaced by another newborn century baby, Jenny Quantum.
