Spoiler Alert!
Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview :
I wanted to start off testing Jolt with Atlas and MACH-I, the two Repentant Charlatans. I added Citizen V for the synergy. The opposing team is gonna rely on Wildcat and Black Canary for most of the damage, with Starman and Midnite providing support.
Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Dealt 5 Wounds.
Taken In : Used to make Jolt a Charlatan.
Thunderbolt Inspiration : In R2T1, used to get Citizen V in position to attack Black Canary. the D20 bonus won her team the game in R4T2, Atlas would have died much sooner without it.
Hyperkinetic Blitz 14 : Used 3 Times, Dealt 1 Wound.
Wildcat chooses Black Canary for his Trainee. Starman takes Cosmic Converter Belt.
ROUND 1 : Blue Team initiative.
Blue T1 : Wildcat moves onto the road.
Red T1 : Jolt moves up.
Blue T2 : Canary moves adjacent to Wildcat.
Red T2 : MACH-I moves up and uses Diversionary Fire on Wildcat twice. No wounds, but Atlas moves up. Citizen V moves near MACH-I.

Blue T2 : Wildcat moves around Black Canary, and adjacent to Citizen V + Jolt. He attacks Citizen V, 2 wounds finish him off.
Red T3 : Was Citizen V.
Blue T3 : Mid-Nite moves forward and heals 1 wound on Canary.
ROUND 3 : Red Team initiative.
Red T1 : Jolt runs through Wildcat + Mid-Nite, and uses Hyperkinetic Blitz 14. She then attack Mid-Nite from height, 2 wounds.

Red T3 : Was MACH-I.
Blue T3 : Starman might die if he disengages from Jolt, so he stays in place and attacks her. 2 wounds.
ROUND 5 : Blue Team initiative.
Blue T1 : Starman throws a piece of the road, and manages to take Jolt out with it. He can't see Atlas from where he is so he doesn't attack.

ROUND 6 : Red Team initiative.
Red T1 : Atlas moves up and attacks. He deals 1 wound but its enough to kill Starman. Red Team wins!
Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Atlas 1/5 Life
Post-Game Thoughts : It doesn't get any closer than that, what a fun game. Jolt really impressed me, She had some great attack rolls, and Hyperkinetic Blitz didn't do much damage, but it's a good little bonus to her attacks. Her movement buff was useful for positioning her allies, and the D20 buff clutched her team the victory. I'm enjoying her at 80 points! She's got some nice buffs, and solid offense. Gonna try her in a crime fighter build next.

Pre-Game Thoughts/Preview :
A pretty balanced Crime Fighter build. Defense and OM efficiency from Songbird, utility with Miles and Jolt, damage with Rad Man and Nova. Captain America is going to be tough to take down.
Damage Done (Normal Attack) : Dealt 0 wounds.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Captain America 4/5 Life, Sgt. Rock 3/5 Life.
Post-Game Thoughts : An unfortunate loss from the Crime Fighters. Cap is just so durable, and his buff turned Rock into a very capable fighter. Jolt failed to do any damage this game, but it's unrealistic to expect an 80 point unit to turn around a game like that.
Thoughts on the Tested Unit's Cost, Balance, and Draftability : I think she's in the right area, cost wise. If you're lucky she has the potential to do really solid offensively in relation to her price, but no defense abilities besides disengage makes her a target that goes down very quickly to focus fire. I do think she's draftable, being low cost makes it appealing to take her when you're trying to squeeze in those last few points in a Charlatan/Crime Fighter build.
General Thoughts on the Tested Unit : I think she's a great choice for her builds at 80 points. If I'm in a situation where I'm trying to squeeze in those last few points with Charlatans/Crime Fighters, she's going to be a go to unit. I dig seeing cheaper units added to factions that don't have many low cost options.
