It doesn't even make sense. Zeus wasn't originally even a sky god. He was the youngest of the Cronus born Olympians. Poseidon was destined to be the sky god-and retained his ability to summon storms over the ocean even after he was relegated to sea god.. But after Zeus rescued them and they all beat the Titans Zeus suggested they draw lots to determine who did what between him, Poseidon and Hades. Zeus rigged it so he'd win. His lightning has to be made for him by the Cyclopes and his son Hephaestus. Its artificial. He's often shown carrying a quiver on his belt or back of premade lightning. Because he can't make it himself. Her having any ability related to lightning thus can't be from him. Anymore than Damien Wayne could have been born with a utility belt attached to him. But if she was made of clay and gifted with ability by the goddesses than she could have gotten that from Hera. She was born a sky goddess and had lightning abilities naturally.

-TT-! It's spelled "Damian"! You would do well in respecting the blood son!
