Terminal velocity is the maximum speed acheived while falling, which would still be less that being FORCED down ward, particularly by manipulating the atmosphere creating a very high pressure above and a vaccum below. . .
But as I said she doesn't need to do this anymore, so he'd have to dig the hole himself.
She doesn't need to melt him either. Heat him up White hot, then flash freeze.
Lightning ALWAYS comes up from the ground, then down. It's only the discharge you see that comes down.
She isn't going to superheat him with electricity. The main points of heat from electrical current are the source of the hot (contact) and the ground (exit) Lightning is RARELY 50k degrees, that is based on how much of what specific gases are burned away, how many electrons/neutrons are discharged, etc. Not only that, but the heat isn't going to stay, you can shoot a bullet through flames, and it'll just be warm, because it only spent a split second in the heat. Fire will melt bullets, if it's hot enough. She would have to have a NON-STOP barrage of LIGHTNING not ELECTRICAL CURRENT, because lightning is a discharge, which is different then an electrical zapping. She would exhaust herself trying to make him attain a super-heated state and keep him there WHILE freezing him.
BUT - He's going to be out before this even matters, because apparently he feels the electricity through his steel flesh. Lightning bolts.. ya... that would suck.
