Yes, in a body of water Statyx would be electrocuted. However, rain is just a whole bunch of droplets. Because of that, while it can't kill him, he can still use his electrokinesis, and with each and every droplet acting as a magnifier/conductor, you can see why it would be a power boost, right? As for Fou, same thing. If he's submerged in a body of water, his powers are capoot, while in rain they are merely weakened.
