Is it literally electricity? Seems like the mutants with electric powers would be the most realistic, then.

Is it literally electricity?
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.

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
