The Lightning Shooter and Shield is Mark Surge's original weapon.
Later, during his upgrade, he abandoned the weapon for an Ice Spear Blaster given to him at a ceremony honoring his bravery.[Episode 5]
Functionality
The Lightning Shooter and Shield can shoot powerful arcs of electricity at multiple targets at once. These bolts can be aimed with extreme accuracy. When not being fired, the weapon can form a small electric shield around the user that protects against all energy blasts and many metal projectiles. However, the shield is useless against projectiles made of wood or other non-metallic materials.
Example Usage
In Trials of Furno, Surge electrically charged a shipment of C-4000 that XPlode was attempting to steal, which shocked the villain.
Set Information
Two halves of the Lightning Shooter and Shield were included in 7169 Mark Surge, released in late 2010. Each of them was co-injected with silver metallic and translucent yellow plastic. Each of the halves' base is silver metallic while its blade is translucent yellow.
Trivia
- It is possible that the weapon can be split into halves, like in the set, and the weapon can look like a perfect sphere or a double-bladed sword, according to Surge's 2010 set's front art. In the television episodes, Surge always carries the weapon as the sphere-like form rather than carrying them as two separate halves. In Surge's 2010 set's description in LEGOshop.com, the weapon was called "lightning bolt weapon and electrified shields". In Surge's 2010 set's description in HeroFactory.com, the weapon was called "lightning weapon and electricity shield". In Face Off: Makuro's Secret Guidebook, the weapon was called "Electrical shield and lightning weapon".[FO:MSG, p. 12][FO:MSG, p. 99] These media and the weapon's HeroFactory.com profile portray the weapon as one rather than two.
- It is possible for each of the halves to be attached to Surge's shoulders to serve as a jetpack, according to Pop Mhan's concept picture.
- It is possible for each of the halves to form a lightning-bolt-based construct, according to the first five television episodes' introduction scene.
- Surge's Breakout weapon called the Electricity Shooter looks like a half of the Lightning Shooter and Shield. It is possible that the Electricity Shooter's design is based on the Lightning Shooter and Shield.
- The Nitro Rocket Motorbike has two pieces that look like the halves of the Lightning Shoot and Shield, and each of them can shoot electricity as exhaust.
- The unnamed Alpha 1 Team rookie has a weapon that is similar to the Electricity Shooter and a half of the Lightning Shooter and Shield.(questionable canonicity)
