Ashley Elliot

Ashley Elliot (played by Moya O'Connell) is a character on the television show Mutant X

History
Ashley Elliot was the fiance of Eric Tanner who conspired with the bounty hunter Neil Cross to bring her in to Genomex. Ashley's DNA was actively mutating, forcing her to absorb large amounts of electricity to survive. Mason planned to use her to deactivate his enemies' power sources. After Ashley caused a temporary blackout by draining a power station of 400 megawatts, Mutant X brought her to Sanctuary, where she and Brennan experienced an instant attraction. Despite Adam's repeated warnings, Ashley and Brennan kissed. Ashley then absorbed Brennan in the form of electricity, taking off in the Double Helix to rescue her boyfriend from Neil. She arrived too late, however, for Neil had already killed Eric in a dispute over money. Neil took a weakened Ashley back to the power station to strengthen her before delivering her to Mason. Using the Double Helix to reverse the polarity of the electromagnetic charges, Mutant X successfully pulled Brennan from Ashley as she absorbed the energy which would have been lethal for him. Adam was able to stabilize Ashley's DNA, ending her power hungry rampage. Brennan later gave her The Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman since he knew that she fell in love with it. She was later placed into The New Mutant Underground where she can remain hidden and safe from the GSA.

Powers and abilities
Ashley is an Elemental who has the ability to absorb electrical energy with her hands while removing it from the source, into her body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing herself, gaining the drained power, using it as power source either temporarily or permanently causing city-wide blackouts and killing her enemies upon impact at will.
