Powers and abilities[]
- Electricity Manipulation: Aftershock has the power to control electricity.
- Lightning Bolt Projection: She's able to create lighting bolts, which she generally uses to attack her enemies.
- Electromagnetic Levitation: Using her powers, Aftershock can suspend herself in the air and propel herself using electromagnetic fields.
- Electricity Absorption: Aftershock's main weakness is that she needs to recharge her powers daily or she would lose her superhuman abilities. She does this by siphoning electricity from areas that generate it, such as power plants. This results in the Lower East side of New York City suffering a blackout.

Trivia[]
- There are two versions of the character that exist in the comics.
- Allison Dillon, who hails from the MC2 universe where the original Electro has a daughter, decided to become a criminal, partially to continue her father's legacy, but also due to the anger of not being able to touch her father due to their powers. She was confronted by her father, Spider-Girl and the original Spider-Man into giving up crime.
- Danielle Blunt, from the original marvel universe, was an ordinary woman who was kidnapped and given electrical powers by the Superior. She was implanted with false memories into believing that she was the daughter of Electro and joined the Bastards of Evil. Even with her memories restored, she took to being a villain quite well and continued her new life of crime.
- Her Moon Girl portrayal will mark her first appearance outside of comics.
- Her visual design references her comic counterpart's relationship to Electro, as it is similar to his portrayals in The Spectacular Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
- During an interview, executive producer Steve Loter called her "the daughter of Electro", suggesting she retains her MC2 counterpart's relationship to the villain. This is supported in "Moon Girl Landing", where she is shown to have the surname "Dillon", which is also Electro's last name (his real name being Max Dillon).[1]
- According to Lunella, her blond hair is not real.
