If a metal mimic turned their entire body into metal, they would be immune to electric manipulation.	None	+ If the substance metal mimics become is conductive, any electrical attack used on them would be re-routed into the ground (or into whatever they were holding), being grounded. - However, if a metal mimic is in the water, they will be blasted - therefore, they are not completely immune to electricity. • Danny was hurt by the flames Meredith created. If this was because he could still feel pain in his transmuted flesh, an electrical current running through him would be agony. • It is unknown whether Danny's pain stemmed from functioning nerves in his metal arm or from having a hunk of heated metal attached to his arm. + It would almost certainly hurt, but pain's a lot better than being reduced to a charred skeleton, like Ricky was. - But that means metal mimics aren't immune to electricity - they can't be harmed, but they can still feel pain. + In terms of survival, if an ability cannot injure or kill you, then you are immune to it.
Metal mimics are susceptible to magnetism.	None	+ If the substance which metal mimics become is a form of metal, then a magnetist could throw them around like a rag doll (or simply crush them like a soda can.)
