Voltage Villains Versus Titantic Teams

Lightning and Thunder were a twin brothers born to a Vietnamese mother and with an American father... or so they thought. As they grew to young manhood, each lad gained a tremendous and seemingly volatile power. Gan as Thunder could emit sound waves and has superstrength while Tavis as Lightning could discharge electrocity. The Williams brothers found themselves in conflict versus the Teen Titans before becoming allies.

Thunderbolt presented himself as an afent dor a foreign government. Recruiting a criminal gang as henchman, Thunderbolt began a series of robberies from high-value targets in a major United States city, with the intent of funneled these ill-gotten gains back to the dictator he was serving across the seas. Equipped with a lightning-bolt emitting weapon, Thunderbolt was nearly unstoppable until Tex Thompson aka Mister America and his pal Bob Daley aka Fatman opposed him.

While Thunderbolt and his dictator master were both vanquished, with the former presumably being extradited back to the latter’s country, the eventuality of their counterparts was quite different. Han and Tavis discovered that their father who had assumed the identity of an American soldier serving in the Vietnam War was in actuality an ancient alien whose unique biology gave his half-human sons their superpowers. With his last dying act, he helped both lads to stabilize their condition, at which point Lightning and Thunder returned to Vietnam.
