Lightning, or Electricity was an Element in the Matoran Universe involving electricity.

  • Firing lightning bolts.
  • Creating a defensive shield of lightning.
• Controlling electricity.
• Absorbing electricity.
• Utilizing chain lightning.
• Unleashing a Lightning Nova Blast. (Toa exclusive)
• Resistance to electrical shocks also comes with this Element.

Combinations

It has been confirmed by Greg Farshtey that beings other than Toa cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. It has also been confirmed that as long as each of them wields a different Element, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.

Example Usage

In the Bohrok-Kal Online Animations, Tahnok-Kal used his power to trap an unknown Ta-Matoran inside an electrical cage.
