Our story opens on Earth-Two where Johnny Thunder is receiving a message via the mail (snail mail that is) inviting him to a meeting of the Justice Society of America.  Once Johnny is excited about the prospect, but then realizes he needs to patch up his relationship with the mystical Thunderbolt, his partner in crime fighting.

Dr. Charles McNider is an accomplished surgeon which is amazing since he’s blind. Well, he wasn’t blind when he learned how to be a doctor, he was working on a gunshot victim when one of those wily ubiquitos mobsters lobbed a grenade in, killing the victim and permanently blinding Charles. One evening an owl crashed into Charles’ window at home (just like what happened to Bruce Wayne, isn’t it?) Charles discovered that while he was fairly blind in the light he could see perfectly in darkness. Charles’ “sidekick” is the owl Hooty, making him one of the few heroes to have an animal as a crime fighting partner. More >
