She was a shock jock The Queen of all Media who took shots at Superman. The Man of Steel had a thick skin and did not let such barbs get to him, though some of his fans would call up her show in anger, which she relished. In private, she admitted that her vitriloic attitude had been for publicity and money, as she had to be more vituperative than male radio DJs to make it in a male-dominated career. An outdoor venue she hosted had been the same night as a nasty electrical storm. Attempts by the Metropolis PD to warn of the natural danger were shouted down by the crowd, most of whom were feisty young adults. Superman then was in the area and sensed trouble brewing, which Willis used to taunt the superhero. A scaffolding tower got loose and was about to crush many people in the crowd, but Superman caught it. In doing so, the scaffolding was hit by lightning, which hit Superman, and in turn hit a fleeing Leslie as the lightning bounced off Superman's skin. Willis had suffered electroshock and was put into a coma.
