Using lightning or electricity as a form of travel. It can vary from turning into electricity yourself to traveling along it, using it as some sort of conduit, or even just surfing on a bolt of lightning. May be Fast as Lightning. A Sister Trope to Electric Slide. For riding lava, see Lava Surfing. Compare Ride the Rainbow, Shock and Awe, Sky Surfing, Elemental Shapeshifter. Not related to Electric Torture or the album by Metallica (although the trope was named for the latter). Also not related to when a bipolar person decides No Medication for Me while in a manic phase, occasionally termed "riding the white lightning". Nor does this refer to execution via electrocution, although the trope title is a slang phrase for such an execution. |

Cole of inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2 can travel extremely quickly by sliding along electrified wires - and they do have to be electrified. Amusingly, this works of something similar to the principle of a railgun. The sequel introduces the Lightning Tether, which is essentially a grappling hook made of lightning. He can do this across any normal platform in his playable appearance in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. |

A Certain Magical Index/A Certain Scientific Railgun: The titular Railgun, Mikoto, is capable of surfing along steel-framed concrete walls, Spiderman-style, thanks to her abilities to control electricity. When she does that, there is a visible lightning "leash" extending from her body. Taken to a more literal extreme in the OVA, where, in an alley with steel-framed concrete walls on both sides, she uses her abilities to fly through the air. The point of which was to ride the lightning fast enough to fit through a small section at the end and circle back around through the next alley to get behind whoever was following her the whole episode, who, in their inability to ride the lightning, would be forced to turn around to leave. Riding the Lightning, indeed. The SS novels show that she can use her ability over large bodies of water to induce hydrolysis in water molecules to ride the lightning as well. And later taken to an even higher extreme when she is forcibly subjected to a Level 6 Shift, gaining the ability to effectively teleport to where a beam of electricity she created had struck in the process, apparently by travelling through the electric beam itself. | |

Pathfinder has a supplement called Ultimate Magic, which features a spell called Ride the Lightning, where the user turns into a lightning bolt that blasts through enemies, ignites flammable objects and melts metal. Non-casters can achieve the same effect with the magical Boots of Lightning Leaping. Air kineticists from Occult Adventures can do this at 12th level. One can also ride the earth, aether, water, air or fire if lightning is not in their element. |

George of Bob and George, among his other lightning-based powers, has this ability. He seems to be turning himself to lightning to do it. In an earlier example, Elec Man the robot master as well. This is actually what Megaman takes advantage of to beat both Bomb Man and Elec Man. David Anez in previous commentary stated that the idea of becoming "fast" lightning is absurd and that as we all should know electrons only move as fast as the medium they're in conducts them. He's a physics professor, but he essentially admits he's not above putting in something cool for the purposes of the plot |

The Simbul of Forgotten Realms, after lots of experiments with polymorphing into inanimate objects (which sane mages avoid) and self-enspelling, acquired an ability she uses when even the most powerful magic-user in her world (and not quite in her right mind) must leave in haste: she turns herself into chain lightning, thunders through the area, then the last bolt turns into a meteor and flies away. | |

Pulseman's array of electricity-based powers includes the Volteccer, which turns him into a flying ball of electricity. This also allows Pulseman to travel along power lines. In addition, he can transform himself into an electrical signal to travel through Cyberspace. In the Super Smash Bros. series of games, Pikachu inherits this ability as its Final Smash, Volt Tackle (which actually is called Volteccer in Japan). As of Ultimate, Pichu also has access to it. |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: When Negi masters Magia Erebea, a technique which allows him to fuse himself with offensive spells, his affinity for lightning, wind and light magic lends itself to this. Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens ("Jovian Windstorm of Lightning") blasts a vortex of wind and lightning energy at opponents. When equipped, it creates the form Agilitas Fulminis ("With Lightning Speed"), which electrifies Negi's body and grants him great agility. The Fantastic Nuke spell Khilipl Astrape ("Thousand Thunderbolts") can be absorbed to enter the state He Astrape Huper Ouranou Mega Dunamene, better known as Raiten Taisou ("Might of the Great Thunderclap"). Apart from fortifying Negi's body, this drastically improves his Flash Step skills, allowing him to transform into a bolt of lightning in short bursts. However, the technique has blind spots due to his human reaction time and his need to send out streamers of charged particles before the main bolt strikes. This leads to... Tastrapa Huper Ouranou Mega Dunamena, or Raiten Taisou II ("Might of the Twin Thunderclaps"), activated by absorbing two Khilipl Astrape spells at the same time, which transforms Negi into a being of pure "heavenly fire", similar to a lightning genie. Not only does this allow him to maintain constant lightning-speed while retaining full awareness of his surroundings, it also makes him an Elemental Shapeshifter who can disperse parts of his body into lightning to avoid attacks. |
