    It is implied that those abilities are the result of having undergone electroshock treatment countless times, not being of otherwise spooky origins

    Considering it doesn't work like that, I think it still counts as supernatural.

    Oh you know that for sure? Have you given someone electroshock therapy until they either died or operated like a permanent human battery? Where's your empirical evidence, sir!?

    I think I just classify it as “fantasy” and leave it at that

    I'd argue supernaturality is the defining characteristic of fantasy.

    Plenty of fantasy lacking a supernatural element

    Like what? What makes them fantastical?
