Electrifying characters and items in Webcomics.

from his hands. - In Champions of Far'aus, lightning magic is a subtype of Air magic. The shadow beast is shown to be able to use it’s lighting powers to create a taser-like effect, and Catharine’s spear has a lightning enchantment.
- Anne, for about five minutes, and, later, John in Coga Suro 2, due to entering into some sort of contract with an immortal lightning-ghost.
- The titular Crankrats were mortally wounded soldiers (and one kid injured in an air ride) patched up with contraptions that made them sort of a steampunk Iron Men with power of lightning on their fingertips. Most of them went Psycho Electro and had to be disposed of. Who would have foreseen this...
- The Maestro in Dominic Deegan is the comic's foremost electromancer. He's also twitchy and speaks with a "bzzt" Verbal Tic, both of which are side effects of all that exposure to electricity.
- Girl Genius:
- Gil Wulfenbach's zapping stick.
- Agatha Heterodyne's first and second ray guns.Hee hee! Death ray go BOOM!

- In Maliki, the aptly named Electro cute control electricity. She can also absorb electricity to recover or get a Temporary Power Boost.
- Max Comix: The nature of Max's powers. He's able to generate electricity at will, or summon tools and weapons made of it for fighting purposes (or to play videogames during a blackout).

- In The Order of the Stick Durkon occasionally uses Thor's power to call lightning.
- In Pacificators, lightning-users are often insane due to frying the brain with their powers. They also can't shoot lightning over a distance, so they prefer to use something to conduct, like a chain.◊
- This is Lightning's natural superpower in Sidekicks.
- Sleepless Domain: It's mentioned that the magical girl Pop Blitz has "zappy powers" that she's still getting a handle on. When Undine is looking for a new team to join, this is part of the reason that Team Blitz has to turn her down — they'd love to have her, but her water powers and Pop Blitz's barely-controlled electricity would make for a poor combination.
- Sakido from Slightly Damned has enough lightning for a pack of demons when she's mad. Which is almost always.
- Ruby from Special School has this power, but she can't control it as much as she wants.
- Sharon Curon of Thunderstruck. At first, it looked like she simply could absorb electricity and turn it into super strength. Some training and a bout of Grand Theft Me showed there was much more to her power, including the ability to zap people like an electric eel.
