Harmless Electrocution

rdfs:comment

From the same twisted laws of physics that allowed people to be frozen without problems comes harmless electrocution! Whether it's cartoon, comedy or action film, electricity just doesn't seem as damaging as other hazards; no, at worst you'll fall over with a Non Sequitur Thud and be left with soot all over your clothes and face, and your hair all messed up. Despite briefly conducting enough juice to make your skeleton visible through your skin, there'll be no lasting damage, even from the most traumatic Electric Torture. Examples of Harmless Electrocution include:

From the same twisted laws of physics that allowed people to be frozen without problems comes harmless electrocution! Whether it's cartoon, comedy or action film, electricity just doesn't seem as damaging as other hazards; no, at worst you'll fall over with a Non Sequitur Thud and be left with soot all over your clothes and face, and your hair all messed up. Despite briefly conducting enough juice to make your skeleton visible through your skin, there'll be no lasting damage, even from the most traumatic Electric Torture. Of course in Real Life, electricity can cause skin burns, muscle damage and death. Even at low power levels it can inflict great pain; just ask anyone who has been the victim of a tazer. Those who survive severe shocks (especially by lightning) often suffer from brain damage afterwards. An alternating current is more likely to kill you than a direct current, but a direct current is still very dangerous. Don't Try This At Home, especially considering the unfortunate consequences of kids playing around with electricity because they saw it on cartoons. Please note that straight examples are those where it does far less damage than it should, subversions are where we expect them to be fine but they do suffer, even if they end up with super powers. Characters with electrical immunity should be aware that not everyone is like that. Fun Fact: The strict definition of electrocution is "to kill by electricity." Electrification, on the other hand, means "to charge with or subject to electricity." Related tropes include Lightning Can Do Anything, especially for lightning as a source of powers.
