Nightstalkers #12
In "Short Circuit," the Nightstalkers face a chilling new threat when a deranged prisoner, Short Circuit—Lilith’s electrocuted grandson—rises from the dead with a twisted, demonic power. Sent to investigate a massacre at a local prison, the team finds only corpses and survivors driven mad, setting the stage for a brutal clash with a force that defies death. Written by Steven Grant and illustrated by Vince Giarrano and Kirk Van Wormer, with inks by Giarrano and Bill Anderson, and colors by John Kalisz, the issue’s cover by Kirk Van Wormer captures the eerie intensity of a 1993 Marvel horror classic.

The Nightstalkers use "Linda" to destroy Stonecold's skin, which had been terrorizing people. Later, they are given a job looking into a problem at the local prison. When they get there almost everybody is dead, and the ones that are left appear to have gone crazy. They run into Short Circuit, one of Lilith's grandchildren who was executed (electrocuted), leaving only the demon behind. Frank shoots him with "Linda", which just makes him more powerful.
