As you know, when lightning strikes a pig it becomes a zombie pigman and when lightning strikes a creeper it becomes a charged creeper. There needs to be more than just pigs and creepers that are effected by lightning due the fact that you have a 1 in 32,000 chance of finding these guys struck by lightning.
My idea is that more mobs will be effected by lightning, more specifically, the zombie. A zombie should have a higher chance of being struck by lightning than creepers and pigs. Why? They carry iron tools. When a zombie is struck by lightning it becomes a strengthened zombie. Like the charged creeper it will be a lot more powerful, it will do 3 hearts ( on normal. On easy, it would be 2.5 and on hard it would be 3.5 ). They also break down doors twice as fast and worst of all... they sprint. That means you AND villagers will have a hard time escaping a electrified zombie. To find out if a zombie is strengthened or not, they will have a noticable lighter tone to their skin. Leave any comments on my idea.

Would the powered zombie drop anything beyond its standard drops? Perhaps a 100% chance of a iron item, as those are the justification for the (relatively) high zap rate, along with more xp for slaying a stronger foe
Yeah, I kinda like Nexus' idea, (assuming by "mobster" he meant "monster", we wouldn't want a mafia in Minecraft), but maybe it would only appear if a villager golem got struck, causing it to 'malfunction', and buff all of his new zombie allies, and strike you you with lightning if you attack a zombie, it would be a nice twist to villages.

hmm, that could work.
Also, Mobster=mob+monster.
