Synopsis
Volta, the Queen of Lightning kicks bad guys with her 2 children, 220 (Salty) & 110 (Pepper). Her husband, Mark does not have superpowers and is unaware that his wife Perla is the superheroine Volta—whom he has a crush on. The family live a complicated life of secrecy and double-secrecy as Volta tries to balance her life as a superheroine and a homemaker.
Aiding her in her complicated life are her best friends Din-Din and Nancy. However, complications rise when a villainous "family" surfaces to darken Volta's days—and move in on Perla's neighborhood as their next door neighbor! Will Volta ever win against her evil nemesis? Will her family find true happiness?
In the end, Volta sacrifices herself to the thunder elemental to save the world. However, before the last episode closes, a glimpse of her archenemy's hair is seen at a government cloning facility in Batangas.
