inFAMOUS - Lightning Powers

I think it's fair to say we've all day-dreamed about having super powers at some point in our lives. Either that or someone has asked "HEY WHAT SUPERPOWER WOULD YOU HAVE" to kill the time. I always chose flight and telekinesis, because I am both adventure-seeking and lazy. What most people probably don't say is "lightning powers" because truth be told, they're a little defunct in every day use. There aren't many times a day I think to myself "Gosh, I wish I could shoot some lightning out of my hands right about now."

Unfortunately, for Cole MacGrath, the protagonist of 2009's inFAMOUS and the 2011 sequel inFAMOUS 2, lightning powers are exactly what he has. Stuck with them after a plot device explodes in his face, Cole used his powers for good or evil, depending on the mood of the player. But is it possible for a human being to display such incredible abilities? Let's find out. 

The Set-Up:

You, as courier and every-man Cole MacGrath, are gifted with incredible electricity based powers. With these new found abilities, the player can either choose to help the people of Empire City, or gain more power, in the classic "superhero or supervillian" dichotomy. Also, there's some stuff about time travel and a plague and some other things. This is all irrelevant thought, we're here for lightning hands.
