David Drake was transformed when stumbling into a bathosphere powered by a nuclear pile into Typhoon, an elemental being that manipulated weather. Drake was able to transform into an aquatic elemental type being, able to generate massive sea storms. This led to repeated battles with Firestorm of Earth-One, each time leading to David being vanquished. His counterpart was Oswald Cloud, a brilliant scientist on Earth-Two who had been ostrasized since the days of his youth for being different. Using his genius, Cloud created a device that generated torrential rainstorms, until he encountered Zatara who stopped him from exploiting his equipment and endangering civilians as the Rain-Maker.
But these were not the only lighting wielding wicked warriors, for on Earth-One, museum director Henry Meke was transformed into a "Thor" upon exposure to a hammer made from a meteorite. Similarly on Earth-Two, there was an older man nicknamed Thor who aided the evil Gundra and her Valkyries. These Thors were no doubt based an ancient tribal chiefs of the same name, brought into the present by Future Man. Both of these faux-Thors battled the World's Finest Team of Superman and Batman on each Earth.
