Is it literally electricity? Seems like the mutants with electric powers would be the most realistic, then.
it's electricity among other things. neurons communicate with each other using chemicals but within a single neuron it's electrical.
your heartbeat is electrical too
No, it's not. It's cascades of ion potentials. That's why it's slow and touch-sensitive.
how is ionic potential not electricity? what is it if not that? I thought ion potential was just how electrically charged the thing is
Initial state: all potential pumped up.
Signal flow state: first pump releaes, changing potential, which triggers the next pump to release.
You can think of this like a series of condenser plus transistor discharging one after another.
While usual electricity is just one potential-difference.
