Thunder & Lightning and Storm

 

Given their power sets, this is a team up that seems like a natural.  I can Imagine Black Lightning calling on Storm (who he worked with in STF #360) to help train his daughters in the use of their abilities.

I thought Thunder and Lightning were guys. At least they were in the Teen Titans cartoon.

You are correct. They were originally Gan and Tavis Williams, introduced in The NEW TEEN TITANS #32 (Jan. 1982). The Amerasian sons of Walter Williams, a Vietnam War veteran who was later ret-conned to be an alien immigrant captured and brainwashed by H.I.V.E. Initially conjoined twins, they were surgically separated and eventually developed the bio-electric and audio-kinetic powers that gave them their nicknames. But, post-New 52, they've been seemingly exiled (by DC's writers) to a super-group called the Ravagers, so as not to confuse readers who are only readers because of the short-lived TV show, "Black Lightning," on CW.

Another great cover and a cool team-up. Any chance of Abomination taking on Savage Dragon in a future cover…?

Can Johnny Thunder be far behind?

Does DC have a corner on electric-powered heroes? Lightning, Static, Lightning Lad... I'm drawing a blank on any on Marvel.

Miguel Santos aka The Living Lightning. He later shortened it to just plain "Lightning" (or was it Relampago?) so as not be confused with the Living Laser!

Storm Front has a more badass ring to it.

@Anon418: nah! Too neo-Nazi. I'd go with All-Weather Friends.

Thank you for the explanation.

Which one? The cowboy, the lesbian private eye, or the blond Snapper Carr of the JSA who became his own genie?
