History[]
Female Thunderbot
Police Constable Mick Riley was not particularly highly regarded by his colleagues, but he lived a double life as the superheroic Thunderbolt the Avenger after he was given a special wristwatch containing 'Thermo-Clyodine-Phostium', a mysterious substance which gave Riley a variety of powers when he used the watch to send an electrical current into his body. Riley thus became one of a very exclusive club of superheroes (the only other member was the Steel Claw) who effectively needed to electrocute themselves in order to go into action.
Forty years later, a masked female also calling herself Thunderbolt the Avenger appeared as part of a group of heroes gathered to fight a mysterious menace. She has since been revealed to be Police Constable (now Sergeant) Mary Landson, who inherited Riley's double identity when he was fatally wounded while saving her life.
