Ostin Liss

Ostin is Michael's best friend and he was the first person (not counting the Elgen or Michael's parents) to know about Michael's electrical abilities. He is also very smart with an IQ of 155 and he is very literal, not taking jokes as intended. He is also somewhat heavy, but loses most of his extra pounds throughout the series.

He is also McKenna's boyfriend, and often struggles with the fact that McKenna is more able to protect him than he is able to protect her. She replies to his complex with "We should protect each other." he replies, "That's intelligent."

Due to his high IQ he has saved the Electroclan numerous times and he came up with the name for the group.

He also thinks Michael's mom is hot which drives Michael crazy. He was one of the three original members of the Electroclan the others being Michael and Taylor. He got pantsed by Jack and his gang before the start of the series, an event referenced in Book one. He hated Jack and Wade, up until the fall of Elgen Academy in Pasadena, California. Interestingly enough, he does clogging, or tap-dancing, on Tuesdays and loves to play Halo with Michael. He also finds Chinese girls very pretty.

He is also canonically the inventor of peanut butter twinkies.
