Yes. Another misperception is the physicality of the bracers -- while "metallic" in terms of touch/seeming, they are in fact the hide of Amalthea, and capable of repelling virtually any attack of virtually any nature.HOWEVER...
There are plenty of instances where, if WW/Athena/Zeus/whoever couldn't wield them/it in time, or understand *how* to manifest its power, then they wouldn't be of immediate use/protection. (An excellent example in WW's case is posted down in the "Martian Manhunter vs. Magneto" thread; although it has a scan meant to show how MM is vulnerable to heavy magnetic attack, that scan also shows how WW was "physically" held by Dr. Polaris' electrical/magnetic attack -- this was due to her getting caught off guard and not being able to deflect the attack by crossing her bracers, etc, and because while resistant to electrical attack, she isn't as resistant as Captain Marvel, Superman, et al...)
