Subject Name: Lisa Stratton

Alias(es): Shockwave

Affiliation: Strattos

First Recorded Appearance: 1987

Power Tier Classification: Tier 4 (Geokinesis, Enhanced Physical Attributes)

Shockwave demonstrates the advanced capability to manipulate earth and related materials, including cement, gravel, and stone, albeit with limited influence over metallic substances.

Claims the ability to initiate seismic activity at varying scales. While she has refrained from causing significant earthquakes, the DMC acknowledges the potential threat based on her demonstrated power levels.

Possesses superhuman physical strength and resilience, levels of which significantly exceed standard human parameters.

Confirmed skilled hand-to-hand combatant, making her a formidable adversary in physical confrontations.

Exhibits a genius-level intellect, particularly in engineering advanced technological devices, including a power suit that augments her natural abilities and provides flight capability.

Detailed background information on Lisa Stratton prior to becoming Shockwave remains partially classified or unavailable.

Engaged in high-level thievery, often in conjunction with Strattos. Known for stealing technology, fine art, and accumulating large sums of money through her heists.

Shockwave maintains a strict personal code prohibiting the taking of life and minimizing harm to civilians, even during criminal activities. This behavioral pattern extends to an unusual rapport with members of the Vanguard, although this does not mitigate her criminal status.

Accused of grand theft, assault on DMC agents, unauthorized use of terrakinetic abilities, and repeated prison escapes.

Recidivist. Currently contained in Samson Knight Correctional Facility with specialized accommodations shared with Strattos. The propensity for escape and reoffending is high.

High - Despite her moral constraints, Shockwave's potent combination of physical prowess, terrakinetic abilities, and high intellect pose a significant risk to public safety and order.

• Continuous seismic monitoring within and surrounding Bendis City for potential unauthorized terrakinetic activity.
• Deployment units trained in advanced combat tactics, with an emphasis on non-lethal subdual, given the subject's combat skill.
• Development of materials and structures resistant to terrakinetic manipulation for facility security enhancement.
• Dialogue channels remain open due to the subject's history of surrender through negotiation and established rapport with Vanguard members.

Shockwave remains a perplexing figure, straddling the line between high-threat criminal and potential ally, given her strict ethical code. Her consistent evasion of capture and control necessitates a review of containment protocols and the exploration of alternative, possibly non-punitive, methods of engagement.
