Skrills (HTTYD) are an electric dragons that drew lightning from clouds and then redirected it to hit several targets at once or store the lightning’s electrical energy in their body for later usages…
…like generating it from their mouths, emitting an electric aura around their bodies, recharging their shot limit, or even “riding” lightning bolts or uses it electrical energy to increase their speed to fly at hypersonic speeds.
Night Furies (HTTYD) possesses an ability to draw plasmite energy/lightning from an electric storm and into themselves, that summon several lightning bolt from the sky to heat their scales to turn them invisible and release a surge of electricity that instantly blasts anything nearby, before they turns invisible.
Lambo's (Katekyo Hitma Reborn!) Elettrico Cuoio is a technique developed due to him being struck by lightning so many times. Because of that, Lambo's physiology has changed in such a way that Lambo's skin can easily carry electricity and discharge into the ground, thereby protecting his brain and internal organs.
Cole MacGrath (Infamous) using Electric Drain to absorb electricity in order to both heal and recharge his powers.
Akira Otoishi's stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable) can absorb the electricity of an entire city block
Patie's (Konjiki no Gash Bell!) water shield spell, Ashirudo is capable of absorbing electrical attacks.
Daxamites (Arrowverse) like Mon-El and his mother Rhea are able to absorb electrical energy around them to repair themselves at a cellular level.
Miles Morales/Spider-Man (Spider-Man: Spider-Verse trilogy) bio-electric/venom blasts powers allows him to release energy as electricity to attack or absorb electricity from anything to augment his venom blasts like absorbing energy from a Robot...
