Lightning Can Do Anything/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


...And lest we forget, you can shoot various flavors of lightning out of your ass. Some of those flavors do things that are a bit ridiculous. Like electric healing, since everyone knows that fifty thousand volts are just the thing for a collapsed lung, and when you make electricity into little restraining manacles; which didn't make a lot of sense when the Superfriends did it either.

Isn't it weird how in fiction these kinds of accidents don't just fry the machines, but cause them to radically change their entire function, while remaining completely undamaged?

The lightning strikes, cracking the night
I'm not the same anymore
Thunder and spark in the heart of the dark
I feel a rising force
