No lightning is a noun.
Lightning can be used as a noun (bolt of lightning) or an adjective (lightning fast). It is not a verb, so it does not have a past tense form.
Just take out the "as ___ as". For example: He was as quick as lightning. (don't ever use that it is a huge cliche) to change this simile to a metaphor, take out "as ____ as" which is the "as quick as" part. The metaphor will therefore be: He was lightning. Metaphors tell you the exact things the person is related to.
It is a simile, they use like or as. Like many similes, you could convert it to a metaphor: "In the ring, his hands became bolts of lightning."
