** [[MoralityDial Evil Jack]] seems to have an electrically-charged [[PowerFist fist.]]
** The [[CreepyMonotone clones]] also use this.

* In ''Transformers Meta'', Bumblebee has the powers with two electrical stingers, similar to his ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' counterpart. However, in ''Transformers Meta'', revealed in the fifth episode, he is capable of "charging" them by connecting the tips together to create a more potent blast.
* Ogma in ''FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire'' is skilled enough in lightning-based abilities that his Jump attack is described as hitting as fast and hard like a lightning bolt.

* Queen Celesia can shoot [[RougeAnglesOfSatin 'lightings']] out of her eyes in ''Fanfic/TwilightSparklesAwesomeAdventure''.
* In ''FanFic/DividedRainbow'', Rarity kills the vicious [[GiantSpider Mr. 7]] by conjuring a thunderstorm right inside the giant spider's cave.
* ''FanFic/KyoshiRising''; Princess Miyaki starts trying to Bend lightning after a conversation with Kyoshi. She succeeds two years later, using it to blow through a squadron of guards and capture [[ManipulativeBastard Honsou]].
* ''FanFic/TheInfiniteLoops'': Petrie, from the ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'', Looped into ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' in his first Fused Loop, replacing Pteragordon, and gained electrical abilities that stuck with him into future Loops as a result.
* Oricum, the wizard among the mine-robbers in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', hits Paul twice with massive bolts of lightning from his wand. He gets a rather nasty surprise when this doesn't harm Paul, just intoxicates him and gives him an orgasm. [[LightningCanDoAnything And, later, bestows upon him the ability to see magic and power.]]
* Luna in the ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' fanfic ''Legacy'' can manipulate lightning quite well, being the daughter of Zeus. The same goes for her half-sisters and of course her biological sister, [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]].
* ''Fanfic/ACertainMagicalFriendship'': 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.
* ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged'' naturally has Sailor Jupiter.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'':
** 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 [[VampireMonarch 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 [[MundaneUtility (though he only ever used it as a doorstop, being completely oblivious to the significance of being able to lift it)]], [[spoiler: Diana]] in the finale of Book 1, and [[spoiler: Maddie]] during the ''Forever Red'' arc of book 2.
** [[spoiler:Maddie Pryor]] a.k.a. [[spoiler: 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 PlayingWithFire, copies the trick with fire.

* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': Multiple people:
** Lishika's special power is electric attacks, which also affects her FlashyTeleportation, giving her PowerIncontinence shocking things in her vicinity when she teleports.

---> “Supreme Thunder!” Arcs of lightning sprang from Sailor Jupiter's arms, flashing toward the dark general’s attack.
