"I'm electric, sunbeam. I own electricity."
― Jenny Sparks to Jackson King (WildStorm Comics)
"It was created by a chain reaction that pulled in the bioelectric fields of the men who caused it. It approximates independent thought. Its only impulse is to feed off electrical sources...bio or generated and survive."
― Thaddeus Ross describing Zzzax (Marvel Comics)

Capabilities[]

The user is made up of or can transform their body completely into electricity. A user's transformed form is anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of electricity, in which case, it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately, the user can transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

Nigh Formed Electricity/Lightning Beings are or can change into mostly physical beings, with the electricity flowing through their being, fortifying their cells, bones and muscles. Their power is mostly focused to their bodies and while they gain some amount of electric energy-attacks, the changes and applications are mostly internal.

Full-Formed Electricity/Lightning Beings are completely formed of electricity, without anything truly left from their physical form. They gain impressive control over their form and vast capacity to expel electricity in various ways.
