Like, um, okay. You know how a power surge can overheat and wreck electronics? Happens in thunderstorms, especially if the circuits aren't protected. You can do that manually with an EMP — an electromagnetic pulse. SHIELD uses it to fry enemy tech. Shut down power through direct access or, in extreme circumstances, release it wholesale. Knock everything in a localised area out.
