Like eclark mentioned, in the comics, the power came from a belt. It eventually changed Pierce and allowed him to internalize the power.
Once DC came up with the metagene idea (Invasion! crossover), it was retconned that the belt activated Pierce's ability to harness energy which manifests as lightning.

: Here's something I've been wondering since the
: series started as I don't know a lot about
: the character - does BL just generate raw
: electrical power and the suit helps him
: refine it and channel it? If it's all him
: and not the suit I'm not sure why the tailor
: guy "upgraded" it to something so
: bulky looking. The one in the flashbacks
: seemed much sleeker and less likely to
: encumber movement. If he needs help to
: channel it then I can understand the bulkier
: suit.
