[b]Name:[/b] Robert Currie [b]Alias:[/b] Thunder [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Sponsor:[/b] Captain Marvel [b]Personality:[/b] Courageous, Optimistic, & Friendly, if a bit Sarcastic at times. [b]Powers:[/b] An acolyte of the Marvel family, Robert is bequeathed all the gifts of a champion of magic: • [b]The Wisdom of Solomon[/b] – The wisdom of Solomon expresses itself in many different ways, including superhuman knowledge, a photographic memory, and making Robert omni-lingual. • [b]The Strength of Hercules[/b] – A patron of the most famous demigod, when Robert invokes the power of Captain Marvel, he’s granted incredible strength, able to lift over 100 tons with little effort. • [b]The Stamina of Atlas[/b] – When in superheroic form, Robert does not need to eat or sleep and does not tire easily. • [b]The Power of Zeus[/b] – Chief among the gods, Zeus grants the powers of magical resistance, physical muscular enhancement, a healing factor, and is able to teleport to the Rock of Eternity, home base of the Marvel Family, wherever it may be. • [b]The Courage of Achilles[/b] – On top of being granted a degree of invulnerability, same as the ancient Greek hero, Robert is also given supreme confidence and optimism in the face of dire odds. • [b]The Speed of Mercury[/b] – Swiftest of the gods grants Robert the ability of flight and as well as superhuman speed while on foot. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Despite his powers being derived from the oldest of magicks, Robert is not unstoppable: • [b]Magic[/b] -- Despite his numerous abilities and resistances, magic powerful enough is still capable of harming Robert as it is Captain Marvel. • [b]Magic Word/Lightning[/b] – Like any member of the Marvel Family, Robert is dependent on uttering the magic word in order to transform into his alter-ego. Without being spoken, Robert is simply another mortal man. As such, his magic lightning is also capable of stripping his powers, if it’s called down and connects with him. [b]Appearance:[/b] In his civilian identity, Robert Currie stands just over six feet tall, broad-shouldered and with honey brown hair and earthy green eyes. When transformed, his stature remains largely the same but his eyes and hair darken considerably, Robert somewhat adopting the guise of former partner to Captain Marvel, Freddie Freeman. His hair turns jet black and his eyes turn chestnut brown, all in the name of preserving his secret identity. [b]Brief Bio:[/b] A teenaged resident of Boston, Massachusetts, Robert once lived what some might call a mundane existence. His city was one of the few major metropolitan areas that lacked any constant superhero presence, metahuman or vigilante. However, that didn’t stop the city from being targeted. During what would later be referred to by Captain Marvel as “a tear in the seal between dimensions,” Boston was exposed to the horror of an invasion of Costellon Goblins from the southern sphere of some unknown world. Captain Marvel intervened, single-handedly fending off the would-be takeover of Boston, but not before he spotted Robert helping others evacuates the immediate area, saving them from harm. Showing true heroism in the face of disaster, Captain Marvel approached Robert later and, with his consent, bequeathed unto him the title of Captain Marvel Jr. and powers mirroring that of Captain Marvel himself. After his training within the Rock of Eternity was completed, he debuted as Thunder, the rebranded partner of Captain Marvel who now calls the city of Boston his home, defending it from all manner of criminal while still hoping one day to earn the Justice League’s endorsement. [b]What’s Changed:[/b] In the intervening months since joining Young Justice, Robert Currie a.k.a. Thunder has had to face up to a lot. Following his first few months of team membership, there was a radical shift in the realm of magic. Billy Batson was stripped of his powers for reasons unknown to Robert, and the need for a new champion prompts SHAZAM to call forth a new Captain Marvel. Robert Currie, once the protégé to Billy Batson, was the most likely candidate to replace his mentor as the new Captain Marvel. As such, he is granted the power once carried by Billy and must step up as the new Captain Marvel, undergoing the trials necessary for making him worthy of such gifts. Opting to fight crime solo in Boston and beyond for a while, eventually the call comes summoning Robert back to join a team for the first time in months. Which team, however, remains to be seen…
