...Uh, no, that's not an argument: Thor shows almost no electricity-based powers throughout the entirety of Norse mythology. He basically just hits things really hard with his hammer, which is what Nora was doing when her powers made sense. He's the god of -thunder-, mostly just cuz the sound of Mjölnir hitting something is thunderous.

But even if her inspiration were actually associated with lightning powers that wouldn't make it acceptable to pull out a reveal this nonsensical. With her crazy strength, she could carry a car battery around in a backpack and charge herself all the time, but instead she...relies on her opponent using electricity attacks, which has happened exactly once in three seasons? Or hopes for a storm to pop up, which happens exactly once in the same stupidly-contrived episode?

If they wanted this to be her Semblance, they could've had her discover it right now upon being attacked with electricity, and then she could adapt it into her fighting style in future. But even the announcers know all about it, so she's been aware of this power for ages and her whole team's been too stupid to utilize it at all. It's ridiculously dumb.
