Electrifying characters and items in Fan Works.


Crossover

  • Amazing Fantasy (My Hero Academia & Spider-Man): Izuku possesses the same Venom Strike power as Miles Morales. It's strong enough to send Peter flying down the street when it goes off for the first time. Izuku, who knows that Harmless Electrocution isn't really a thing, tries to call the hospital until Peter regains his senses and stops him.
  • A Certain Magical Friendship: Both versions of Misaka Mikoto:
    • The Academy City version is an electromaster, meaning that she has the power to control electricity, like firing it at people.
    • The pegasine version has a habit of storing lightning in her fur, and can also fire it at people.
  • Child of the Storm:
    • Thor, which is unsurprising, considering that he's the God of Thunder and Lightning (and it isn't dependent on Mjolnir, either). It also applies to other storm-gods, e.g. Zeus, and Dracula, who's powerful enough to cover most of the eastern seaboard of the United States in a storm system imbued with dark magic, and wields lightning as one of his favored attacks.
    • Mjolnir, also gives wielders this ability while they wield it. Said wielders so far include Steve (though he only ever used it as a doorstop, being completely oblivious to the significance of being able to lift it), Diana in the finale of Book 1, and Maddie during the Forever Red arc of book 2.
    • Maddie Pryor a.k.a. Rachel Grey demonstrates an electrical theme to her psychic powers (which manifest as electric blue energy), and merges lightning with her psychic powers when fighting Harry. Harry, who favors Playing with Fire, copies the trick with fire.
    • Harry is also fairly adept at using lightning in his own right, though he prefers fire, pointing out that he is the son of Thor.
  • Code Geass: Paladins of Voltron (Code Geass & Voltron: Legendary Defender): Lelouch's Geass gives him this power in this story in addition to his canon Compelling Voice powers. It's implied this is related to the Galra and their Druids and his Galra heritage.
  • Dungeon Keeper Ami:
    • Lishika's special power are electric attacks, which also affects her Flashy Teleportation by giving her Power Incontinence in the form of shocking things in her vicinity when she teleports.
    • Sailor Jupiter's connection to the concept of Classical Mythology god of lightning, Jupiter, gives her the ability to throw lightning bolts from her hands.
  • Game of Touhou (A Song of Ice and Fire & Touhou Project): Iku, as a reference to her original canon, gains an armor (a medieval version of a Tesla coil) that conducts electricity, and a sword that can discharge electricity enough to vaporize small areas and to kill a dragon. She gained the nickname of "The Thunderbolt".
  • The Infinite Loops: Petrie, from the The Land Before Time, Looped into Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger in his first Fused Loop, replacing Pteragordon, and gained electrical abilities that stuck with him into future Loops as a result.
  • Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily: Specter's Split Personality Easter is capable of unleashing electrical attacks. It's later revealed that Easter is actually a denizen from the Living Lightning Car who struck Specter and fused with him, hence why they're able to use electricity so easily.

Aquaman

  • In Aquaman: Monster, Lucia, AKA Stingray, uses electricity and electrified titanium swords to attack. Since she fights underwater, it's even more lethal than normal as the shocks spread out.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Disney Animated Canon

Final Fantasy

  • Ogma in The Tainted Grimoire is skilled enough in lightning-based abilities that his Jump attack is described as hitting as fast and hard like a lightning bolt.

The Legend of Spyro

  • Destiny Intertwined: Electricity manifests in its most basic form as lightning breath, forming as singular and largely undirected bolts at first. As a dragon advances in mastery, they learn to direct these more purposefully, extend them for longer, imbue them with greater strength and fork them into multiple points. More powerful users can also create floating balls of electricity or shields of electric force. The most powerful dragons can call down lightning from storm clouds. Electricity mainly functions through a combination of heat and paralysis, with different variants emphasizing one or the other; for instance, red Electricity is cooler but causes stronger effects on living matter, while white leaves stronger burns.
  • Static, Blizzard's best friend in The Portal, starts out as a human, but after entering the Dragon Realms, he is transformed into a yellow dragon who can shoot electrical bolts out of his mouth.

The Loud House

  • Flowing Star: Stella's weapon can be electrified to deliver powerful attacks to knock her opponents out.

Mega Man

Monster High

MonsterVerse

  • Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Besides Ghidorah; there's Monster X, who has inherited Ghidorah's bio-electrical abilities (referred to by San as "the storm") although their abilities aren't quite the same as Ghidorah's, and there's Thor who can use his own bio-electrical powers offensively or as a form of communication.
