Johnny Thunder & Thunderbolt

The Seventh Son of the Seventh Son…

Johnny Thunder is indeed the seventh son of a seventh son, to add to his luck he was born on Saturday (the seventh day of the week), in July (the seventh month), at 7 am in 1917.   This luck did not hold out as shortly after his birth Johnny was kidnapped by individuals of Badhnesia where upon his seventh birthday the country of Badhnesia is attacked and Johnny returns back home to America.

Life moves on for Johnny Thunder until while he is doing chores he says “Say You!” which triggers a pen that he received as a child to sprout a genie that takes the form of a hot pink Thunderbolt.   The Thunderbolt operated invisibly for a while doing whatever Johnny requested, but eventually revealed himself to Johnny.   The power of the Thunderbolt and Johnny’s good nature led to his nomination for JSAAn abbreviation of Justice Society of America membership.

Like all the JSAers Johnny retired when the JSAAn abbreviation of Justice Society of America was confronted by the House Un-American Activities Committee and reappeared when the JLAAn abbreviation of Justice League of America and JSAAn abbreviation of Justice Society of America team-ups occurred.
