The electric superhuman, Cole MacGrath, returns in the sequel to 2009's open world superhero third-person action game from Sucker Punch, featuring new graphics, a new city, and new powers.
Perhaps he grounds himself to the shower head. Gotta keep in mind, he like all of us are mostly water anyways. Remember what those aliens referred to us in Star Trek, 'filthy bags of water'?
And why don't enemies just use garden hoses and super soakers?!
They should use as Cole's Kryptonite. They'll probably just keep it as a way not to leave the map though. I don't expect creative thinking from developers anymore.
I haven't played the game but can he still use his electricity powers when he gains the ice powers? Because ice is still water just in another state, so wouldn't that harm him as well?
He constantly keeps a field of electricity around him to avoid incoming damage from enemy projectiles. That's why he can take a few bullets without dying. When he goes to take a shower or drink a beverage he turns it off.
why does he take damage from water in the first place? we all know water + electricity is bad, but that is because electricity is bad. this guy absorbs electricity to HEAL himself.

Isn't it because he basically short circuits himself? I'm honestly not sure at all.

It's the same as if you drop a toaster into a bathtub, that toaster isn't going to work so well. For all questions treat Cole as a toaster.
He fries the dirt off of himself with electricity. You can walk in puddles and be ok, it's just like falling into a larger pool of water or the ocean is when you have problems.
What about the water hurts him? He conducts electricity with his body, so you mean to tell me that the water conducting electricity hurts a guy that can control electricity? In the first game he literally closed a circuit with his body.
I don't see why water hurts him anyway. If his powers were all about fire, then ok I'd get it, but why would water hurt electricity? It just spreads it easier.
Some things. I assume the fiction here is that when Cole is in water his electricity is conducted away from him because water is an excellent conductor. You could extrapolate that the reason it kills him is because it goes beyond what he expends as ammo since he'd never voluntarily kill himself by shooting. Of course the problem with this is that in reality a similar effect would occur when he grabbed any metal object embedding in the earth.
When people use the word "grounded" they are usually completely wrong. Being grounded means having a path for electricity to flow though. It's called that because ground wires do usually connect to the earth since it can take up any amount of excess charge. You want to be insulated to be protected from electric current.
Pure water actually conducts very poorly, but most water isn't pure.
While I'm talking about it. People in cars are not safe from lightning because of the tires. If lightning can jump through a mile of air, why the hell would it care about your car being 12" off the ground. They are protected because they are entirely inside a metal cage. It's complicated, but that keeps out electricity.
